Suuri olutvalikoima, viihtyisä pubi, ystävällinen henkilökunta. Ainoa puute, että saksalaisia lagereita harvoin tynnyreissä. Big selection of beers, cosy pub, friendly staff. The only complaitn: german lager beer is a rare visitor.

The best place ever!! I go there every year at the summer, super entertaining and educational! The place has multiple floors, and each floor is huge and filled with activities that explain physics and science in such a pleasant, easy and attractive way. Every now and then they also add new activities which makes it even more interesting. would definitely recommend, this place never fails to keep me entertained. Been visiting the place since I was 8, and im 19 now :)

A windy beach, but the water was surprisingly warm. Lots of people on a sunny day. Loads of ice cream kiosks. An interesting lighthouse. A must when you visit Oulu in summer.

Beautiful park with many little streams and white bridges. Nice little dog friendly cafe and good playground for kids. Great especially summertime. Also home for outdoor theater during July.
