- Accessibility
- Korkeasaari's accessibility information describes an accessible entrance building and mostly accessible or nearly accessible areas, but the island has hills and steep ascents. Almost all roads are wide and paved. Exact accessibility of the event's illuminated route is not described separately.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- Arrive well before dusk. After dark, only the illuminated route is in use, and some animals retire early. Outdoor picnic areas and grills are available for your own food. Pukki Restaurant serves throughout the evening, but visitors may not bring their own alcoholic drinks onto the island.
- Schedule notes
- Hosted feedings start daily with forest reindeer at 17:00, red-necked wallaby at 18:00, dwarf mongoose at 19:00 and camel at 20:00. Free Cat Valley evening walks of about 30 minutes leave from in front of the tiger enclosures at 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00. Friday's separate 19:00–20:30 speed-dating programme is restricted to ages 25–40 and is not part of this family-event listing.
