Seurasaari Christmas Path (Seurasaaren joulupolku) is a pre-Christmas event for families with children at Helsinki region. The event is free of charge. It gives children and child-minded adults a possibility to have a look into the world of fairy tales and to learn old Finnish Christmas tradition not forgetting the basic message of Christmas.

The Path spreads in front of you some 30 different activities, for example,
Christmas songs, sing-song and play, fairy tale reading, theatrical play, riding with horse and sledge, straw labyrinths, plenty of forest animals distributing ginger breads to children and of course Father Christmas with his Wife. It is our wish that children bring along (1) piece of decoration, preferably self-made, which can be hang into Christmas trees that are found all over the island, (2) a pocket lamp which will light all wonders of the Path in the
darkening winter night, and (3) a plate and spoon for warm Christmas porridge. Ginger breads are distributed along the path and to memorise all that you have experienced you get a traditional post card depicting Christmas, when leaving the island.

Parking spaces are scarce in the vicinity of Seurasaari, but bus n:o 24 from Erottaja has more frequent departures (5–7 min.) during the event (12.00 pm - 5.30 pm). For further Information, please visit the Helsinki City Transport Web Site
