We walked here through the beautiful forest. At 2 euros to enter it was a bargain. For those who don't fancy climbing the winding stairs, you can take the lift to the penultimate floor. You can look through the windows and marvel at the view but if you want to go on to the roof you have to climb a steep staircase. It is steep as my husband descended backwards! It is well worth it the views are stunning. You can see over Tampere, see both lakes and see if you can spot the Finlayson. We walked back along the lake shore, stopping to watch the red squirrels. Then sitting to take full advantage of the tranquillity, watching the colours of the lake change and breathing in the scent of the pine trees. Well worth a visit.See more..

3.5Funpark(19 reviews) - Activities for kids aged under 12 Amusement & Theme Parks
Indoor amusement park with rides, climbing, arcade games and so on. Most of attractions are for kids, but there are something to do for adults as well. Food quality is below average, so eat before going in :). Still, this place is something that you should consider with kids if weather is horrible and outdoor activities are not tempting.See more..
