Description Founded in 1950, Linnanmäki amusement park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Finland. This giant theme park was opened by six Finnish child welfare organisations to promote children’s events in the country. The Children’s Day Foundation was set up by these six charities with responsibility for managing the park in 1956. This is still the case today and all profits are donated to charity.
