Museums in Finland

A museum which is always in a state of readiness! All children will enjoy themselves among all the fire trucks which they are also allowed to sit in. After exploring the museum, the children’s’ own fire truck waits outdoors; here they can jump in and out as much as they want. There is also an old-fashioned handheld hose which gives a sense of how it was to be a fireman in times past. Swings, a sandbox and a large trampoline add extra fun to the games.
