Zoolandia

Zoolandia is a zoo near Lieto featuring indoor and outdoor sections that house around 160 animals from approximately 50 species in designed habitats. The facility includes dining options, parking, and accommodation facilities for extended visits.

The zoo was founded in 1984 and grew to become a key center for animal conservation in southwestern Finland. Since opening, it has continued to operate as a regional focus for wildlife protection work.

The zoo serves as a learning space where visitors discover how animals live and interact through observation and displayed information. The design encourages people to think about wildlife needs and behavior in a direct, hands-on way.

The location sits about 20 kilometers north of Turku and is easily reached by car with parking available on-site. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes for walking the grounds and should plan to spend time in both indoor and outdoor sections.

The grounds feature an authentic Finnish smoke sauna with capacity for about 50 people, providing a traditional relaxation experience after viewing the animals. This traditional structure is a rare feature among zoos and reflects Finnish sauna culture.
