Harakka Nature Centre

The Harakka Nature Centre offers visitors encounters with nature, activities, and information on the Baltic Sea, maritime nature and sustainable living. The Nature Centre operates in historical surroundings on the magnificent Harakka ("magpie") Island featuring extraordinarily rich flora and bird species. Only a short distance from the Kaivopuisto Park, Harakka takes visitors to delicate archipelago nature that overlooks open sea. The island is circled by a one-kilometre-long trail. Connecting ferry leaves from Ullanlinnanlaituri in Kaivopuisto park.
