Thrills, Laughter and a Perfect Summer Day at Linnanmäki
19.7.2026
The final day of the Lions Youth Exchange Host Week was spent at one of Finland's most popular attractions – Linnanmäki Amusement Park. From the moment the gates opened at 11 a.m. until the last participants left around 8 p.m., the group enjoyed a full day of excitement, sunshine and all the machines.
Finland's Favourite Roller Coaster
Without a doubt, Taiga was the day's biggest favourite. The spectacular roller coaster attracted participants from around the world, with many returning for another ride after experiencing its speed and twists for the first time.
Throughout the day, the participants split into smaller groups so everyone could enjoy the attractions that interested them most.
A Splash to Cool Down
The warm summer weather made the water rides especially tempting. By the end of the afternoon, nearly everyone had taken the challenge and discovered that the water was much colder than expected!
Thank You, Milana!
A special thank you goes to Milana Rainio, a member of the Leo Club and the daughter of one of our host families. She did an outstanding job guiding the international participants throughout the day and helped ensure everything ran smoothly.
The Perfect Ending to Host Week
Most importantly, everyone had fun, everything went smoothly, and no one got sick. As they say, the photos and videos tell the rest of the story!
