At Haltia's celebration day, families can spend time in the nature exhibitions and join different activities at their own pace. The Game Over? special exhibition explores biodiversity loss and climate change through a participatory game. Outdoors, teams of 4–6 try Haltia Games activities such as tug-of-war, boot throwing, log tag, a berry-picking sprint, a forest quiz, and a national-park memory game. The guided wellbeing outing follows Maahisenkierros with relaxation and sensory exercises.

Accessibility
Haltia's main and restaurant entrances are step-free, and the building has lifts and accessible toilets on every floor. The wellbeing outing follows the 2-kilometre demanding accessible Maahisenkierros trail. The route is wide enough for strollers and wheelchairs, but its varied terrain means a wheelchair user needs an assistant. Check whether the route suits your family's mobility needs before joining the outing.

Practical notes
The outdoor-games tournament is on the event field from 13:00 to 15:00, while the wellbeing outing leaves Haltia's front yard from 14:00 to 15:30, so the two overlap. Restaurant Haltia also serves its Luonto lautasella celebratory lunch from 11:00 to 16:00. Bus 245(A) reaches Haltia from Espoo Centre; there are parking spaces for fewer than 200 cars.
Schedule notes
The programme runs on 2026-08-29 from 10:00 to 18:00. The outdoor-games tournament is 13:00–15:00, the wellbeing outing 14:00–15:30, and the celebratory lunch 11:00–16:00.
Booking notes
The day and the nature exhibitions do not require booking. Register a 4–6-person outdoor-games team through the link due to open in early August, or at Haltia customer service on the event day. Register for the wellbeing outing in advance at Haltia customer service on the event day.
Price notes
The day's programme and entry to Haltia's nature exhibitions are free. Restaurant Haltia's Luonto lautasella celebratory lunch is separate, and the event page does not list its price.
Age notes
The organiser invites families with children and adults. The Game Over? exhibition is suitable for the whole family regardless of age. The outdoor-games tournament needs a team of 4–6 people; no age limit is listed for the rest of the day.
