For sports, I'd echo mCowboy - hockey's the thing...

But don't forget the Uspenski Cathedral... quite different (and a lot more "exotic") than the White Church

But check beforehand when the place is actually open...

What about Nuuksio National Park?

I love it!

Also you can show them whatever YOU like in Helsinki

depends on their age and thei interests..
If outdoor/nature etc then suomenlinna at this time ll be cold, windy n an experience..
If bars/nightclubs...pick one.
Traditional: manala, Zetor, etc
take a ferry to Stockholm n back or a 24 hour cruise *drinking only*...
for heavy metal there is Tavastia ..
Apart from the Lake Hvittrask, Tram 3T, Jumbo mall, etc
