11. 5.0 Kalevala Spirit (5 reviews)
    - An amazing Christmas experience with the real santa!
    Historic Sites
    
    
    From the moment we approached my children were immersed in the magic of this visit. Santa's elves greeted us at various stages, showed us where the Reindeer sleep and took us into the main house, where the children made cinnamon cookies with the elves and we all had hot glöggi with the freshly made cookies. We were then taken on a hunt for santa, where we found him sleeping and the children had to shout to wake him up. They were absolutely stunned to meet the real santa, talk with him (he's a clever, multilingual guy) and even had a chance to have a cuddle and have photos taken. The Kalevala village is outstanding, an amazing reproduction of a traditional village and the Christmas experience is one to remember. I'm sure we'll be back regularly to check in with Santa as the children get older and perhaps even after a certain age when they aren't true believers they'll still insist on going to see the elves, who are quite an attractive species it seems :) See more..

16. 5.0 Lamminahon Talo (1 review)
    - Museo retki lapsen kanssa
    History Museums
    
    
    Nätti heinäkuinen kesäpäivä ja mikäs sen parempaa kuin lähteä paremmin tutustumaan tähän mielenkiintoiseen museoon. Paikalla kun olimme, niin olimme koko sen ajan ainoat vieraat paikalla. Oppaalla oli aikaa kertoa rauhassa historiasta. Ja muutenkin oli todella paljon nähtävää päätalossa kuin ulkorakennuksissa. Ja lapsen parhautta oli se, kun neljä pässiä oli aitauksessa ja ne olivat tulleet kesäksi Pelson vankilasta. Mielenkiintoinen kohde, jossa aika menee hujauksessa ja sopii kaiken ikäisille vauvasta vaariin. :) See more..

    The meal before we left was incredible (just like my Finnish grandma used to make). We received our safety briefing and then went to the viewing site. The first bear came into view within five minutes. We ultimately saw four bears, two quite close up. The evening ended with an appearance by the local wolverine. The entire experience was wonderful and well worth the price. See more..
