Tamminiemi is a historic home museum on Seurasaarentie. The villa, completed in 1904, was given to the Finnish state in 1940 as an official residence for the president, and it is especially known as the home of Urho and Sylvi Kekkonen from 1956-1981. The museum is shown largely in its 1970s form: families can look at the study, living rooms, design objects, photographs, and details connected with presidential everyday life together with an adult.

Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- This works best as a calm history and home-museum visit. Families can also visit independently outside guided tours, and expert guides are present in the exhibition rooms to answer questions. In summer, guided tours can include Kekkonen's sauna, and Café Adjutant in the museum park works as a break stop when it is open.

- Age notes
- Best for children and young people around 8-15 who are interested in presidents, 1900s Finland, homes, photographs, or design. Younger children may find the visit quiet because it is mainly about looking and the official information does not describe play spaces.
- Seasonal notes
- The museum is a year-round indoor destination, but opening days vary by season. From April to September the visit is easier to fit into a weekday, while in the winter season public opening is focused on weekends.
- Weather notes
- The indoor museum works in rain, cold, and windy weather. The park, seaside setting, and walk to the cafe are outdoors, so dress children for the weather especially in winter and rain.
