Keskisen Kyläkauppa

With more than six million visitors a year, Keskisen Kyläkauppa is Finland’s largest department store and most popular travel destination. The atmosphere, stunning details and surprising encounters it offers are impossible to put into words – they must be experienced in person.

The department store is a real entertainment centre, where visitors of all ages can spend time, meet friends and enjoy the atmosphere. It focuses on offering experiences in a comfortable setting – the entire family from children to grandparents can find something to see and do for the whole day.

Finland’s most affordable prices, best selection and friendliest staff, combined with a spectacular setting and exciting events, make for a memorable experience. In addition, the centre’s restaurants serve delicious meals to suit all tastes in a relaxed environment.

Keskisen Kyläkauppa is known for its events. Hundreds of different events are held in the area each year. One of the most popular events is the Miljoona Tivoli fair, which takes over the entire yard area every summer and offers free entry to children under the age of 13. Such events attract thousands of visitors to Tuuri to enjoy the Keskisen Kyläkauppa unique atmosphere.

A new addition to the centre, the department store’s Riemu Park indoor play area, covers 3,000 m² and offers a great range of activities for children under 13 – and all for free! Keskisen Kyläkauppa yard area also houses Finland’s largest Moomin playground, which is open all year round and can be enjoyed for free, and in the summer months, Keskisen Kyläkauppa mini-golf course offers fun and games for the whole family for a small charge.
