  Nice place to go. Next to the castle, so you can see two things basically at once. Nice exposition, but there is potential for improvement.

  Very cool. Easy to find and park and get food. I'd go again. Take the kids. Take your Grandma. Top fun and informative about the impressively progressive Finnish jail system. Do Hameenlinna too. The castle is great and the military museum is touching. Dress up in medieval Armour and use a crossbow and then see some modern armour and armaments.

  A little bit of a bad estimate only. It's when you have a lot of other things in a unique way. I was at the place of escape from prison-themed. The framework is a really stunning. We were able to visit the place a little more widely than the norm, apparently. There was such a loft-like basement floors. And the feeling was like a prisoner in jail, the Museum was awakened to life! I remember the best for the rest of my life ' the thick iron door, cellar, a doctor in the room and much much more.
