Ursa Model of the Solar System - Sun - Helsinki, Finland - Solar System Models on Waymarking.com

The model of the Sun is a ball 140 cm in diameter placed atop a 20 m tall pillar at the Patterimäki. Because of this, the model rises over 50 m above sea level and is therefore visible (at least if using binoculars) to even the most distant planet models.

Bus 14 from city centre has its terminus nearby. An other option is to take commuter train A (or L) from Central to Pitäjänmäki station.

The most practical way to tour all the models is by bicycle. There are bicycling maps with the locations of the planets at each of the planets with informational sign.
