You will find us behind Reenis, on the upper floor of the Meri-Toppila Daycare Centre. Unfortunately, our facility is not fully accessible, since it is located on the second floor and there is no elevator. Toppila Youth Centre’s facilities are homey and comfortable.
The open activities are meant for 7–17-year-old young people. You can meet friends, play board or video games, cook, do crafts or just spend time. There are at least two instructors present at all times with whom you can chat, play and spend time. Guided activities are also arranged at the Youth Centre, for example, cooking and crafts. Follow our social media channels, we will announce current activities at our Youth Centre there.
Toppila Youth Centre has a band room which can be used during opening times. The band room includes two electric guitars + amplifiers, a bass + amplifier and a drum set, as well as singing equipment and a mixer with its reverb. If you are not one to make music, come sing karaoke!
