Kotielainpuisto Arkadia, Simo

Amazing place with a lot of different sorts of animals to see like llamas, cows, horses, sheep and even a camel. You can see that the animals are taken care of and fed properly and the whole place has a nice rustic feeling to it. Few lambs were roaming around the place getting petted by the visitors. There was also multiple activities for kids like swings, trampoline and bouncy castles if they needed a break from all the animals. The staff was extremely nice and the cafe had a versatile menu of foods and pastries etc. I would definitely recommend the place for everybody. 5 stars.

This place is dirty and piles of stuff and stool everywhere. It doesn't seem like a safe place to the visitors, especially little kids who don't understand not to touch animal stool or electricity wires. Even the trampoline didn't have safety issues fixed, as the zip at the entrance was broken. The animals we're interesting, especially the black chicken was fascinating, but mostly the animals we're dirty, their places weren't tidy and they we're fed dry hey in the middle of Summer! We've visited in many country style parks like this but never before so unfinished and disappointing like this one.
