Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest park is magical all year round. But for select nights in Autumn and early winter, weather permitting, they add to the magic. The quirky buildings in the park are illuminated making them even more like something from a fairytale. On the nights that the illumination is on, the park stays open until 9 pm. The cafe on the grounds, "Cafe Puisto", stays open late too. They also schedule a star gazing night once a month that coincides with the light up.
This event is cancelled if it rains or if there are unfavorable weather conditions. During the period of Coronavirus, all visitors are requested to wear a mask and maintain a safe social distance from other visitors.
