Plenty to do for young people during the autumn break
There is plenty to do during the autumn break week in Helsinki. With more than 40 different ways to spend your autumn break, you will have no chance of getting bored. Most of the autumn break activities are free of charge, and even the paid activities are affordable.
Those hungry for adventure can test their skills in the Prison Island escape room game, where cleverness and teamwork skills are of great use. If you are in need of excitement, you can try the escape room game designed by young people at Kannelmäki Youth Centre, where you compete against time.
You can explore the wonders of the sea on a trip to Sea Life and learn about more than 150 animal species in the Korkeasaari Zoo. Those who want physical activities can head to the trampoline park to get their heart rate up, and animal lovers can take care of animals and have fun at the domestic animal camp in Valkeakoski or at the Fallkulla petting zoo.
Cledos live at Tiivistämö on Friday!
Cledos is one of the most interesting artists of the 2020s. His unique sound, original style and self-confident charisma have made Cledos one of the most closely followed people in the Finnish rap scene and one of the pioneers of the genre.
Cledos is known for his energetic performances and songs like “Made in Italy”, “TÄN KAA” and “KYSYMYS”. In August 2020, he released his debut album CEISSI, which topped the album chart and went platinum, as well as a short film of the same name. The stylish short film put the album on everyone’s lips, and the whole package brought the artist a nomination in the Artist of the Year category at the Emma Awards. A free Cledos gig at Tiivistämö on Friday, 23 October at 18:00!
