Audio Guide of Laune Family Park

The park is a public space open 24 hours a day all year round, although specific attractions such as the children's traffic park usually operate from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in summer. It is located about 2 km from Lahti railway station and is easily accessible on foot or by local bus.

No, entry to Laune Family Park is completely free, making it one of the best low-cost attractions in Finland. However, please note that nearby activities such as mini golf may charge a separate fee.

For children to enjoy the giant slides, the castle, and the play area, I suggest allowing between 2 and 3 hours. If you plan to have a picnic or visit the adjacent arboretum, the visit can easily last an entire afternoon.

This park is the green heart of the city and symbolizes Lahti’s status as a European Green Capital, integrating nature and urban design. It is considered one of the most modern and complete children's parks in the Nordic countries.

Without a doubt, summer (June to August) is the ideal time, as the traffic park and water play areas are fully operating. However, in winter the park transforms and becomes very popular for sledding down its snowy hills.

Yes, the park’s design prioritizes accessibility with wide, paved paths and no major architectural barriers. It is a very comfortable place to get around with wheelchairs or strollers while enjoying the natural surroundings.

Right next door you can visit the Yli-Marola domestic animal farm in summer and the relaxing Lahti Arboretum. In addition, a must-see nearby is the famous Lahti ski jumping hills area, an icon of the city.

Bring clothes that can get dirty and very comfortable shoes, because this is a park designed for action and climbing. I strongly recommend bringing a picnic, as the park has wonderful areas for eating outdoors and relaxing.
