- GMuirThirroul, Australia87 contributionsGreat donuts, acceptable coffee & an excellent view. Can get very crowded in the small cafe but going on a rainy day we mandated to avoid the crushWritten 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GMuirThirroul, Australia87 contributionsVisited the Tampere 1918, Games, Natural history, Ice hockey, Findlayson & fairy tale sections.
The games museum was hands down my favourite section with it recreations of rooms through the decades, it felt like a Time Machine.
Tampere 1918 was interesting but I felt I learnt more having attended anothe Medien earlier in my trip with more English signage.
The peppers ghost display in the Findlayson section was also quite coolWritten 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The building itself is a gray stone church designed by Lars Sonck.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SasofibirdBexleyheath, UK113 contributionsSuper cute and one of a kind. Really reasonable price at €14.50 for an adult. I would say you need no more then 1 hour in the exhibit. There are other attractions at this location also.Written 17 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TamasHorvBrussels, Belgium8 contributionsAn authentic and beautiful experience with locals. You can even walk there from the centre or take the bus. 2 saunas, plus the dip in the icy lake. Amazing!!Written 20 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GMuirThirroul, Australia87 contributionsInteresting museum but could do with a bit of polish & more interactivity. Given the name of the museum, tracking Lenin’s life more chronologically would be a plus. The immersive living room display is good. Unfortunately there was a lot of information presented on screens that required you to page through rather than dynamically communicated through exhibits.Written 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KatarinaAETampere, Finland21 contributionsGreat exhibition of the various developments in living conditions in the area. The guide was great and it definitely added to the visit.

- Ville JKokkola, Finland49 contributionsLot's of sights to see from the beach. I saw a guy fishing there when walking by.

- Sofia MHelsinki, Finland457 contributionsVisited the museum with friends. Impressive building in nice surrounding. Exhibition was around „still still life“. Interesting and different. Not too many people, which was good, due to limited amount of parking placesWritten 13 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heli PHelsinki, Finland6,316 contributionsThe building seen from above resembles a big male capercaillie in his pride so the library is known in Finnish as Metso. Architect couple Raili and Reima Pietiläs' design from 1986 has assymetrical lines and unexpected nooks both inside and out. The fame of Metso earned them the priviledge to create in 1993 Mäntyniemi in Helsinki, the formal residence of our president.Written 21 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MustaKissaMuonio, Finland35 contributionsA must go for all interested in stones and minerals! I enjoyed it greatly. Mineral museum takes only a part of the whole Vapriikki museum. It's not huge, but not super small either. The collection has some really nice specimens. Meteorites, fossils, huge fossilized tree trunks, huge amethyst geodes and much more. Many specimens are from Finland.Written 4 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HughSouth Ozone Park, NY1,234 contributionsThis Is a gorgeous Finnish Orthodox Church. Its interior is splendid and even moreso on a Sunday when church is in session.Written 7 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ville JKokkola, Finland49 contributionsFirst of all, it's free. Tons of work related history. There was also an unrelated temporarily added photo exhibition.Written 2 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JBNaantali, Finland37 contributionsHad a wonderful lunch at Viikinsaari. Amazing service and wonderful dishes from local providers. It is very easy to get to the island from Laukontori Port on Silver Line vessels. Best of the trip is to reserve enough time to enjoy a lunch or dinner on the island. Truly value for money.Written 30 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
