Great way to see the Tampere from above. You park at the theme park, then walk past the ticket booths into the tower building where you can purchase tickets directly. We went first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds, so had the view mostly by ourselves. Don't need to spend too much time here, but get your pictures then move on to the next item on the list.

The view on the top of the tower is very nice, if you go to the roof. However, I did not expect such a long queue for that, I waited at least 20 minutes in line. The price for the tower is 2€ and you can walk or use the elevator. Average attraction, but there is a really good 360 view of the city.

This was the best place I visited during trip to Tampere. Eat one of the legendary doughnuts and go see a great view from the top.

Excellent panoramic view. The donuts were so good. The accompanying coffee was okay. It washed the food down. Rather busy.

Great donuts, acceptable coffee & an excellent view. Can get very crowded in the small cafe but going on a rainy day we mandated to avoid the crush

Good donuts and coffee with a view. Nice outside seating, nice location on a forest on the ground floor of an old observation tower with good views.

Tower provides breath-taking views of the lake and the surrounding area. Walk to the tower along the lake side to see the city's skyline and try the best Munkki (Finnish doughnut) in the country in the tiny tower cafe.

The staff were very friendly and the prices are reasonable. The donuts are delicious, kind of spiced (pepper or cardamom maybe?) and are perfect for a cold day. They have vegan donuts and oat milk for coffee. The thing that lets it down for me is that it could very easily be wheelchair accessible if they added a ramp as there is an elevator up to the viewing tower.

Lovely walk. Eerily peaceful. Views are beautiful, even in the light drizzle. Donuts were fresh out of the oven and perfect with a cup of coffee

Very nice park & tower for a walk and a nice view over the city.
We went on a monday, and people were queuing outside for the doughnuts : we supposed they were excellent (but we did not have the patience to wait ourselves).
Elevator or stairs to go up, Ok even with children.
