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).

Lovely outdoor area, good atmosphere inside. Excellent service. The only thing that would make it more like a UK pub is food - they don't serve food, but that's normal locally. Whenever I visit Jyväskylä I go here; usually have tea with oat milk. I take my own biscuits! Range of beers seems to suit my family. Board games provided :)

The Craft Museum is a Place, where I visit again and again. The exhibitions are interesting and variable, but every time you can see something skillfully made handicrafts. Also the basic exhibition is wide and interesting. And everyone should see the finnish national costumes. I have visited the museum twice with my grandson (5years).He was very amused to look around. I did tell him what he wanted - and he wanted. And at the end of our visit, in the workshop room, he wanted to make himself a keyring. Our visit took two hours.
