This place is a nice collection of old buildings (50 buildings, 12,500 museum items), farm animals (15 species, 100 individuals) and museum tractors. There are also a nice cafe, a small playground, cottages for rent and a caravan site there. Unfortunately some small details are a bit run-down but the value for money is still very good. The park is situated in Kälviä (navigator address Eläinpuistontie 2), 10 kilometers to the north of Kokkola.
