Museum Centre Vapriikki (Museokeskus Vapriikki) is a great centre accommodating a bunch of cool museums. It's a great place to visit for kids and adults alike. The Natural History Museum, Postal Museum, Tampere 1918 Exhibition, Mineral Museum, The Finnish Museum of Games, The Hockey Hall of Fame Finland, and many changing exhibitions... 13 eur for adults and 6 eur for kids (7-17). Highly recommended place to visit in Tampere.

Vapriikki is most definitely in our familys Top-3 of Tampere attractions. Been there many times as main collections on display change quite often. They're always displayed real nice, the free guide tours are great as are the electronic guides. Ice age, Ostia Rome and Finnish middle-age were all awesome. The permanent exhibitions are also mostly great. The game museum, Finnish nature, Finnish civil war and ice hockey museum are awesome. The rock museum is probably interesting to enthusiastics of the field :D Highly recommended, can easily spend a full day. There's a restaurant on site but only bought a water from there so no idea how the food is but you can easily walk out, eat somewhere else and return to museums.

Our original plan was to visit the Game museum and though we did, we eventually ended up spending even more time in the other exhibitions, all of which you could access with the same ticket. The Game museum was fun, mostly because you could play all sorts of old games there. It was pretty crowded though, so we ended up spending quite a lot of time in the Postal museum instead. It was a really pleasant surprise and the exhibition was skillfully executed. Also the exhibition was a a lot quieter than the game museum, so you could explore it in peace. We visited also the Ape exhibition (I think that one was a temporary exhibition) and found it interesting. We had only couple hours of time to explore the whole Vapriikki before our train left and we definitely could have spend there twice the time.
