You can catch the bus no 24 to Seurasaari. I usually pack a picnic and fry sausages in the open fire after walking around the island. City provides the fire wood. There’s a small kiosk serving hot drinks, bakeries and selling meat sausages for the fire, and a couple of cafés, with pretty unpredictable opening hours 😀
