If you enjoy shopping malls - here's one for you. Either take on stop with metro to avoid walking if it is too cold outside; or just ask google how to walk there as it is not far.
You can do there some more serious shopping (food and etc), as well as stop by a restaurant (no popular fastfoods in here!!! Only the best chosen restaurants that offer fastfood the proper way by choosing the ingredients well!)
Tip: Find the garden on top of the mall. Ask for directions downstairs infopoint ;)

Breakfast
We love that place. There are not many places who serve breakfast of fresh goods coming from their own bakery. And prices / size of portions are good for price level in Finland.

No need to pay for the entrance if you don't plan doing to the roller coasters :)
