If you happen to be in neighborhood, be sure to swing by Särkänniemi Adventure Park in Tampere, Finland to check out the brand new “Angry Birds Land” exhibit! (For reference, Tampere is about two hours due-north of Helsinki in southern Finland.) Angry Birds Land features a dozen full-fledged rides centered around our furious fowl and an “adventure course” that looks like the playground straight out of my wildest Angry Birds dreams.
In the video below — courtesy of a random guest and very good quality all things considered — there are a few very notable items. First and foremost, absolutely 100% of the exhibit is Angry Birds. And we don’t just mean the rides and the slides, but the restaurants and restrooms are even painted in (what appears to be) Poached Eggs decor. Also, at the entrance to the “adventure course”, there are two big-screen touch-screen TVs that have ABo available to play! (Better still, it looks like it is at least v2.0.0 based on the level-completion screen.)
According to other reports (e.g., Eurogamer), the park will also feature a “Magic Place” in the near future. While it is not specifically said, perhaps this is related to Angry Birds Magic. If so, I may be checking ticket prices to Finland for over the summer!
Special thanks to @wanda for tipping us off!
awesome that’s really cool
I hope there was an planetarium for angry birds space
they should have a angry birds roller coaster, and have a theme park in the u.s.
i think they should have one in Australia too
Hahaha Yes!
Give them time – I’m sure there’ll be one in every major country eventually.
Maybe I’ll visit this in the summer. :) I live in Oulu, which is about 400 kilometres away from Tampere.
Wow! This really looks amazing :D
I should go one day :-)
I think they should have one in Johor,Malaysia.
Looks like a great place for the family to spend a relaxing day.
Awesome.Hope I can see it.
Around 5:06 until the end if the video, you can hear the background sounds heard in angry birds cherry blossom. Just listen very close
They have palm trees in Finland?
yes, they’re called windmill palm trees.
Not in the wild. Won’t survive. There are -30 degrees in the winter. (it’s not nice!)
Actually those palm trees will survive -10, -15F.
Searched those palm trees in Google, they will survive cold and winter, but I don’t think they could grow in these circumstances. Lots of snow and really cold weather.
But, according to Wikipedia, it has been reported that one palm tree has survived -27,5 degree weather. So it’s pretty durable.
The palm trees all seem to be in (fairly small) planters, so maybe they get moved inside in the winter??? Looks great for kids; would be mobbed if in US.
Think so too. Särkänniemi isn’t open in the winter.
Aww yeah, first the reveal of Black Ops 2, and now this. Best day ever. :)
Cool! I must go there in the summer! :)
Wow! This is awesome! I should go there sometime! :)
What a exotic park! So cool, so great, so fresh of angry birds.
WHY DOES FINLAND GET THE COOL ANGRY BIRDS STUFF!?
Probably because Angry Birds was made there. Not to mention Rovio’s main base.
stink_boy, please refrain from using caps. Why are you shouting at us?
I want to be there!:)
very cool! is there any active member from finland on abn? please go there and tell us how it is! :) too bad i ve been to finland (helsinki) last year ;)
I am! But live 400 kilometres away from Tampere. :(
finland is a beautiful country! if you ever go there let us know ;-)
I will! Did you like Helsinki? :)
yes it is a beautiful city! we made a tour and it is a very nice green city! but it is quite expesnsive! and many lakes :) and finish language is one of the most difficult ones in the world :)
Meh, not really a fan of what they’ve done. Underwhelming from what I was excpecting. The whole playground structure is pretty cool and I like the touchscreen but that is about it.
yah. not to be mean, but there arn’t very many angry birds fans in the world. the rest are PERSECUTERS!
Really? Angry Birds Space hit 50 million downloads within 35 days. That’s not just USA.
What? I am confused by this statement. =/ I am a big fan of Angry Birds, just not this theme park.
My comment is in reply to Angry Artist only. I have no problem with people’s opinions about the theme park.
Found another video! That looks fun – I may have to visit Finland soon! Very cool :)
You beat me to posting it! Looking at the video, the objective is to push down a slingshot to shot balls into a hole. It also looks like the person with the highest score gets a huge stuffed angry bird.
Also the instructions translated says, “ROUND WIN 100 points OR MAKE AWARD”
Wow! Angry Birds is expanding over the whole world. I mean we find them so often: In games, on playgrounds, as plushs and now as a park. If you think about that they´re just started with a little game it´s enormous.
Now I wish i had gone to Finland now instead of 6 years ago… too bad.
Awesome! I live in Finland, so I have to go there in the summer!!
I wish they built one in the United States
If only I lived in Finland…
I live in Norway and that’s not too far from Finland. I’m definitely going to visit this place next time I go to Finland :D
Man this place looks cool! I wish it was in America…just like most people here!
(no offense to others :))
I want to go there some day
