   Water Amusement Park Serena

Tornimäentie 10, FI-02970 Espoo
Tel. +358 (0)9 8870 5555 / information or 887 0550 / office

The largest constant warm water amusement park in the Nordic countries, Serena is a refreshment centre for the whole family. The pool area has 2000 m² of heated water – terraced pools, whirlpools, waterfalls and slides, kid’s pools and a magnificent wave pool. 140 metres of white and calm waters alternate in the Wild stream. Saunas have been dug into solid rock in a cave maze.

In the summer, the water surface increases to 3000 m² with open-air rug slides, swim-ring rivers, the Dead Sea pool and the popular liana tower. The most daring will appreciate the Black Hole tube slide with light, image and sound effects. New! Mountain Cross track. A lift takes a car and driver up the slope for a speedy run back down, steering through the winding track.

In the winter, the Ski Centre offers downhill skiing, snowboarding and much more. The Ski Centre is open during the skiing season on weekdays 2 p.m. - 8 p.m. National holidays and weekends 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. During Christmas and skiing holidays 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. The slopes are closed on 24th and 25th December.
