Seurasaari is an island in Helsinki, Finland. The island is home to a large Open Air Museum that exhibits houses and buildings (mainly wooden) from various parts of Finland. There are also a number of birds and animals that roam freely around the place.
It's great to spend a few hours there and you can walk along the paths in the midst of nature and really get a feel of how people in Finland lived all those years ago.
