Särkänniemi

Särkänniemi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈsærkæˌnːie̯mi]; 'Cape of Sandbank') is an amusement park in Tampere, Finland, located in the district by the same name.

The park features an aquarium, a planetarium, Doghill Fairytale Farm, an art museum and an observation tower Näsinneula (Näsi Needle).

The half-pipe coaster called Half Pipe was recently removed due to multiple reasons.

In the future, a hotel and spa with restaurants and water experiences are planned around the amusement park, as well as new apartments.

The park is located on a peninsula, about a kilometre from the city centre of Tampere, that juts out into the Black Gulf.
