THE LARGEST THEME PARK IN FINLAND TO BE BUILT IN OTANIEMI
Within the current year, a four-hectare beer-themed amusement park, Fat Beer Land, is set to rise in Otaniemi, Espoo. The project, orchestrated by Fat Lizard Brewing Company, is already underway. The area will feature, among other attractions, indoor surfing, a beer slide, a beer tram, and a Ferris wheel with saunas in its cabins.
World Class Amusement Park Project
Espoo-based brewery Fat Lizard Brewing Co. is constructing a gigantic beer-themed amusement park in Otaniemi. The experience center is set to be completed by the summer of 2025. Except for the water park Serena and the bar street in Kivenlahti, Espoo has so far lacked a family entertainment center. According to the brewery, the project, currently bearing the working title Fat Beer Land, started 'by accident, as the best ideas always do.'
– On just an ordinary Monday, a loud exclamation was heard from our production hall that 'this is one hell of a circus.' That's where the idea took off, recalls Toivo Piski, the creative director of Fat Lizard.

The Espoo entertainment committee confirms that the brewery has submitted a plan reservation to the urban planning committee for a four-hectare theme park. The timing of the project fits into the zoning reform of the Otaniemi area, and construction work is set to begin in the spring of 2024.
