Pretty seclusive forest park close by to Espoo. Easy to reach by public transportation, for example, train+bus from Helsinki centre. You can be a part of the guided group, but you can make it also by yourself as the walking paths are marked well, and you don't need any special skills to make the journey. There are a couple of small lakes-ponds which you can investigate by the hiring a boat and also swim in the bigger lake Siikajärvi. In the summertime, you might have a chance to collect some forest berries, Nam! There are fewer people at working days.

Myself, I am not a great fan of shopping centres, but Sello is a very good one. Right next to the Leppävaara train station and a bus hub, it easily accessible by oubluc transport. They also have a large underground parking lot, which I recall is free, at least for a certain time. Plenty of restaurants, lots of different shops, three large markets and a cinema. Easy to go to, and has pretty much all you need.
