4. 3.5 SuperPark (8 reviews)
   - Overpriced for families with small kids
   Friday: 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Game & Entertainment Centers
   
   
   It's a shame they charge full price for every parent accompanying a small kid, as if the parent is going to have any own fun in the park. For example two parents for one kid you pay almost 40 euros for a small kids indoor park (the entrance for 0-3 year olds is free, though). If you have two families visiting with one kid each, you would pay 80 euros for supervising your 0-3yo kid. Ridiculous pricing. I'd reconsider this place if accompanying parents (unlimited amount) would be allowed in for free, they could charge 10 euros for small kids if they so whish (no, the parent is not going to sneak in to play in the theme park without paying, they are already tired enough of any "playing" around as it is).

   - Tar channels in Kajaani
   Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   Tar had become the most important commodity passing through Kajaani in the early 19th century . Tar burning was concentrated in Kainuu and the tar was transported along the Oulujoki River to Oulu Tervahovi for sale. The sale of tar come to an end and the Senate decided to abolish the locks on January 1, 1915 , after the canals had been in operation for 70 years. The Ämmäkoski closure was covered and the closure machinery was removed. However, the canal and barrier were rebuilt again 70 years later, in the early 1980s. The renovated canal with closures was completed in 1984 and is now the only operating tar canal in the world. Near to the Kajaneborg ruins. See more..
