Activities

Get to know the activities of Ähtäri Zoo.

Flowpark Ähtäri Zoo

Flowpark Ähtäri Zoo is located next to the zoo entrance and the Zoo Shop

Flowpark is an ecological adventure park where you can really test your nerve. The adventure courses are built into living trees without harming them. You can complete numerous different tasks at heights of up to twenty meters. The tasks are various levels of high ropes courses, including swinging paths, liana jumps, swings, and zip lines.

Each Flowpark is a unique entity, so you won’t find two identical courses in any park. Flowpark is intended for adventurers of all ages – there are challenges for both ordinary visitors and experienced outdoors enthusiasts!

You can conveniently purchase Flowpark and zoo tickets in advance from our online store.
