Tykkimäen Huvipuisto

What Tykkimäen Huvipuisto does

Tykkimäen Huvipuisto is a Finnish multi-park leisure operator headquartered in Kouvola, Kymenlaakso, founded in May 1986 and currently operated as a subsidiary of Kymen Seudun Osuuskauppa, a regional cooperative within the S-Group retail network. The company runs three distinct physical parks: an outdoor amusement park (Huvipuisto) with over 30 rides including the new 2026 Pohjolan Express family roller coaster, a seasonal water park (Aquapark) located at Lake Käyrälampi, and a year-round indoor activity park (Actionpark) housed in the Kouvola Prisma shopping centre. Its offering is rounded out by on-site food and beverage (Kusti Burger, Restaurant Raveliini, Lammenranta Kitchen & Bar), live summer concerts (Kesäkonsertit) and dance events (Kesätanssit), and proximity to the adjacent Break Sokos Hotel Tykkimäki Resort, which collectively make it a destination rather than a single-park operator.

Revenue model

1. Admissions and wristband sales: The primary revenue stream is the sale of wristbands (single-park and Park Hopper combination passes) and concert tickets, both through the online store and at on-site ticket booths. Season passes (Kultapassi, Timanttipassi, Aquapassi) provide advance revenue ahead of the operating season.
2. Food and beverage: On-site restaurants and kiosks (Kusti Burger, Grilli, Restaurant Raveliini, Lammenranta Kitchen & Bar, Beach House) generate F&B revenue. Special dietary options including lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegan are offered.
3. Games and activity charges: Individual ride tickets, game tickets (Minikoris, Iceball, Onnenpyörä, Block Busters, Narunveto), minigolf, and Seikkailu climbing are charged separately from wristband admission.
4. S-Group loyalty program cross-promotion: S-Etukortti holders receive discounted wristband pricing and earn S-Bonus on purchases, creating a loyalty-driven revenue ecosystem with Kymen Seudun Osuuskauppa.

Direct peers

• Särkänniemi: Tampere-based amusement park, waterpark (Näsinneula observation tower, aquarium, dolphinarium). Comparable as a multi-attraction Finnish leisure destination operating rides, water park, and on-site F&B, positioned as Tykkimäki's second direct peer above it in Finnish market share.
• Tropiclandia: Water park and spa in Vaasa, Finland, with slides, pools, and wellness facilities. Comparable as a Finnish regional water park operation with similar F&B and seasonal revenue dynamics to Tykkimäki Aquapark.
• Serena Waterpark: Water park in Espoo, Finland, operating slides and aquatic attractions with associated accommodation. Comparable to Tykkimäki's Aquapark as a Finnish water park destination, though anchored in the Helsinki metro area.
• PowerPark: Amusement park in Alahärmä, Finland, offering thrill rides, go-karts, and accommodation. Comparable as a Finnish regional amusement park operator with rides and lodging, competing with Tykkimäki for Western Finnish and regional family visitation.
• Linnanmäki: Finland's largest amusement park, located in Helsinki, operated by the Lasten Päivän Säätiö (Children's Day Foundation). Directly comparable as a Finnish outdoor amusement park offering rides, concerts, and seasonal events, and the principal competitor Tykkimäki cites as larger than itself.
• Puuhamaa: Family adventure park in Tervakoski, Finland, offering go-karts, water activities, and adventure courses. Comparable as a Finnish regional leisure operator serving families and school groups with multi-attraction ticketing.

Broad incumbents

• Tivoli Gardens: Iconic Copenhagen amusement park offering rides, concerts, restaurants, and seasonal events. Comparable as a heritage Nordic amusement park combining rides with concerts and F&B, though at materially larger scale than Tykkimäki.
• Liseberg: Sweden's largest amusement park in Gothenburg, offering rides, water park, hotel, and concert venues. Comparable as a Nordic multi-attraction leisure destination operating rides, water park, lodging, and live entertainment similar to Tykkimäki's full portfolio.

Emerging players

• Funpark: Finnish indoor activity and trampoline park chain. Comparable to Tykkimäki's Actionpark as a year-round indoor family entertainment operator with party and group programming, but without the outdoor amusement park context.

Regional players

• Wasalandia: Amusement park in Vaasa, western Finland, with rides and family attractions. Comparable as a regional Finnish amusement park, but geographically distant from Tykkimäki's Kymenlaakso catchment.
