Karelian cultural idiosyncrasies come together in Parppeinvaara Rune Singer's Village, Ilomantsi: kantele music, handicraft, orthodoxy and traditional food. On display in Parppeinvaara are also war history and Ilomantsi’s nature and its animals. The Rune Singer’s House , museum buildings of Mateli Kuivalatar and Korhonen, Border Major General Raappana’s Cottage, All Saints Chapel, Mesikkä Animal Museum and Restaurant Parppeinpirtti are all located in Parppeinvaara.

It's like HopLop for adults ! Really professional guide who very skillfully gave us a personal tour of the museum. Also a very educational museum for getting a hands on experience on weapons development. Spent around 3h in the museum, so reserve enough time.
3. Sea Fortress Suomenlinna

Reviewed By M6281VPmarks - Scottsdale, United States
Must visit this UNESCO world heritage site of a fortress in Helsinki south harbor across several islands which was built by the Swedes in the 18th and 19th centuries to unsuccessfully prevent Russia from capturing Finland. It is a remarkable piece of engineering, architecture and history. Visit the several museums on the connected islands. There are also fortifications, barracks, residences (people live there full time), church, workshops, shops, cafes and restaurants. You will need at least half a day to visit and will take a 15 minute scenic ferry ride starting at Market Square but the ferry convenienty runs all day starting very early and ending late in the evening because people live there. Children who are into forts and guns will enjoy. Younger children will have the chance to run around to their hearts content.

We were a bit on a rush on that day so didn't manage to check out all the boats and the inside museum. Easily reachable by bus or the city bike. It is a bit far to walk from the city center. They have a nice selection boats/ships here. Very nice to visit on a sunny summer day and have some ice-cream afterwards by the river.

Great chance to have a proper look on historic articles related to sea and well put together commentary with lots of cool stuff for kids like a boat simulator. Worth having a Look! Changed my mind about museums being boring.
9. Aland Maritime Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 251 reviews
A visit to the Aland Maritime Museum is exciting for children and adults alike. The exhibitions are filled with dramatic stories and fantastic objects, such a genuine 18th century pirate’s flag. There are also lots of interactivities, such as a climbing mast, a bridge simulator and a karaoke. Seadog, landlubber or in between - Aland Maritime Museum has something for everybody.

Maritime museum is very interresting place to visit for people all ages. We have three kids, ages 6, 12 and 15 and we all enjoyed our visit very much. There was a quiz for children and they loved it! They got an icecream as a prize. If you visit Mariehamn, you should definately visit Maritim Museum.
10. Finnish Air Force Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 100 reviews
Finnish Air Force Museum shows Finnish aviation history from its beginning, 1918 to the present days. The Main exhibition consists of aircraft, engines and aircrew equipment which has been used by the Finnish Air Force. The equipment of Air Force Signals Museum has its own section. A large collection of scale models gives a wider perspective to the whole field of aviation.

Must see place for everybody interested in aircrafts and Finnish air force with its impressive history. You can find here examples of very popular planes (Hurricane, Bf-109, Blenheim or Il-28) but also some very rare and unique ones (Brester Buffalo, Valmet Vihuri, VL Pyörremyrsky and more).
