Exploring Korkeasaari Zoo: A Fun Day Learning Animal Names in Finnish | Suomen kielen vlogi [subs]

Описание: This past weekend my sister and I visited Korkeasaari Zoo 🤗! In this (mostly) Finnish vlog, we will take a walk around the zoo and practice casual Finnish in real situations surrounding the topic of animals. Follow along as we explore different species and enjoy the beautiful autumnal surroundings!

Some facts about Korkeasaari:

🦦 It’s open 365 days a year! So you can LITERALLY visit any day of the year!

🐍 During the summer you can get to the island via boat from Kauppatori or all throughout the year you can cross over from the bridge on Mustikkamaa. Bus number 16 goes straight from Rautatientori to the front gates too! In 2027 there will also be a direct tram line opening

🐫A normal adult ticket costs 20€

🦉There is a dedicated section to Finnish wildlife called Korpi, but they also have other species.

🐯There is a lot of info about the conservation work and where the animals come from not only on signs in the park, but also on their website. For example combating the illegal wildlife trade, re-wilding endangered animals, field work and research. Definitely worth reading about on their website if this is something that is important to you! You can also create fundraisers supporting your favorite cause on their website: https://kerays.korkeasaari.fi/partici...

🐸 They also act as a wildlife hospital and sometimes in the news you hear about cases in Finland where a wild animal is hurt and taken to Korkeasaari for treatment before being released again (when possible). Annually about 1500 hurt or orphaned animals are brought here.

🐐 Their aim is to also be carbon neutral by 2030!

🍂I think going to a mostly outdoor zoo isn’t the first thing that comes to mind as a fall activity… but I highly recommend if it’s not raining! There are less people and all the walking paths look so pretty with the autumnal colors! 😍

🐻 We also had lunch at Ravintola Karhu. They have amazing vegan and gluten free options so I had a tofu bowl 😋

🐢There is a TV show called Korkeasaari that you can watch on channel 4 or Ruutu which tells about what goes on at the zoo. The second season actually starts next week!
