Kuusijärvi Saunas
Vantaa's only public smoke saunas, on the shore of Kuusijärvi lake in a city recreation area, sold by two-hour wristband with no booking. Two new smoke saunas, Havu and Pihka, opened on 28 August 2025 beside the big shore smoke sauna and the small one, with a new changing building called Kaarna; Havu is step-free and kept as a silent sauna, and bathers swim in the lake all year.
