3. 4.5 Angry Birds Activity Park Vuokatti (89 reviews)
   - Great activities for all ages
   Amusement & Theme Parks
   
   
   We visited Angry Birds Activity Park in Vuokatti on a cold January afternoon with three kids aged 3, 6 and 8. We got there right at 1pm, which was the opening time, and were busily spending time on various activities for 5 hours. Initially the kids found the place almost overwhelming - they were running around randomly from one activity to another. Our whole family enjoyed the day and loved that there were activities for all of us to enjoy - both as a group and as individuals. Here are some of our favourite activities: Girl 3 - peddle cars and slides Boy 6 - skate boarding and scootering, foam pit and climbing wall Boy 8 - shooting pigs with ball canon Dad - super ball Mum - sitting down in peace while the kids entertained themselves. We thorougly recommend this place for any family! See more..
   
4. 4.5 The Silent People (76 reviews)
   - Silent People and Rendeer
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   The crowd of almost thousand figures that make up the Silent People suddenly emerges before the passing motorist like some great stroke of magic. In the morning with light behind them, this motionless army appears morose, even menacing. However, as the day progresses their countenance brightens up and with the setting of the sun they present a distincly jolly and colourful picture. When the wind blows their straw hair and clothes begin to flap rhythmically, it is as if they had suddenly sprung into life. See more..
   
5. 4.5 Winter War Museum Raatteen Portti (50 reviews)
   - Do Not Miss This Museum!
   Spent 1-2 hours Military Museums • History Museums
   
   
   This museum is definitely worth the visit!! I strongly recommend you review some of the history of the Winter War (1939-40) and the Russian invasion with two full Divisions against a few hundred Finn soldiers, Border Guards, and Reserves who managed to stop the Russians cold! The museum has a battle display showing the action of the Ratte Road fight and uniforms and weapons of the combatants. It has excellent and very professional displays and is awe inspiring to think about what happened here the winter of 1939. The display of the tribute outside the museum is also sobering. It has 17 acres of stones on the ground representing the number of soldiers on both sides who died in this battle of Suomussalmi and Raatte Road. The history of this Winter War tends to be lost in the subsequent world conflict of World War II, but the bravery of the participants on both sides of this battle must never be forgotten.
