Winter Petting Zoo or similar near Helsinki

Hi folks,

Is there a winter petting zoo, cool pet shop or similar to spend an afternoon near Helsinki. You should really be able to pay some money to a pet shop to just show pets to toddlers

I know about Rehndahl but its a little far

Cheers!

Re: HEINENKEN CUP FINAL 2009

It should be easy to watch as there are no premiership games on that day. I watched the first semi in Molly Malones and they had all the TVs devoted to it even the ones upstairs. I heard that they even showed the Guinness premiership final on Saturday.
That’s your best bet as far as Im concerned.
