Haagan Alppiruusupuisto

Haaga Rhododendron Park is a public park located in the district of Haaga. The park has two parts: the evergreen rhododendrons grow in the southern section, while the azaleas grow on the other side of the power lines in the northern section. Floral splendor can be viewed from wooden pathways and platforms. The peak blooming season is in early June. On our visit, the blooming was a little bit late. The spring was colder than average. Also, high pine trees create a shading canopy for the flowering plants. Thousands of Helsinki residents and gardening enthusiasts visit the park each year to witness the spectacle.

Huone oli hyvin tunnelmallinen ja kivasti teemoitettu! Myös pulmat/ratkaisut olivat mielenkiintoisia ja kekseliäitä - tykkäsin! Ylipäätään visuaalinen puoli oli hyvin toteutettu. Plussaa mukavasta henkilökunnasta ja hauskasta hiukan piilotetusta sijainnista (joka tosin pitää ensin löytää) :) The room itself was very atmospheric and had a nice theme! I also really enjoyed the interesting and creative puzzles/solutions! Overall, the visual side of things was well executed. The pleasant staff and a nice slightly hidden location (although you have to find it first, of course) are certainly a plus :)
