Loihakka

Loihakka specialises in husky safaris. We are based in Varjakka, Oulu, Finland. In summer we also offer guided tours to the historical sawmill of the Varjakansaari Island. Our huskies love their work and we love to see them wagging their tails and eager to go. For this reason, our kennel is open on bookings only: as pack leaders, we want to make sure that our dogs have at least one full day of rest all to themselves. We have no minimum group size, so you are warmly welcome to visit our kennel on your own, too.

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.

Museum of Northern Ostrobothnia

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

This museum is located in the beautiful river delta of the Oulujoki River. The museum building of 1920s classicism is quite impressive in itself. The beauty lies inside. We have visited this museum before but every time there is something new in addition to permanent exhibitions. For a tourist, it is practical that you can find the Oulu Museum of Art and Science Centre Tietomaa nearby.

Beautiful part of Oulu, market square with policeman next to beautiful indoor market. We were there with a bunch of colleagues and very much enjoyed the place, had a good coffee nearby and then moved for a dinner. If you end up in Oulu then that is the part of the city to be visited for sure !
