An extempore one night visit to Visulahti didn't rise the bar how I remembered it back in the 90's... read more
We visited xon park with the boys (2, 6 and 9 years). The place had nothing to offer for the 2-year-old, but quite a few things for the 6-year-old and something for the 9 year old. The activities cost between 2.5 to 5 euros if you buy multiple tickets for 50 euros. The kids liked the activities, particularly the atvs and trampolin. The downside is that the place does not have any kind of decent coffee place or restaurant and the fact that it is a bit ran down.
If you were planning on getting a review of finnish history and celebrities by visiting Visulahti wax museum, skip it and by a book or use Google instead.
If you know finnish history and celebrities and want to get a laugh mixed with shared sense of shame and don't mind wasting 15 minutes and 7 euros, you might find Visulahti wax museum worth visiting – once.
Never even think of getting anything like Madame Tussaud's. Many of the characters are not recognizable. There is no visible clue of why and which characters are chosen. The Beatles are side by side with rally legend Juha Kankkunen and a TV side act from the 80's. I heard that the wife of (former) president Mauno Koivisto has said about president's figure: "If that kind of monster lived in our house, I wouldn't."
And there is no toilet nereby.
We came to Mikkeli for visitingVisulahti, but unfortunately all the facilities were closed for all 3 days we stayed there. The reason was "rainy", but at least the ones under the roof or inside could be opened??? Very lazy personnel doing really nothing and never helping to clients...
There are very many activities in Visulahti: a campsite, a swimming beach, cottages, holiday houses, saunas, frisbee golf, tennis, beach soccer, beach volley, mini-golf, pedal boats, Wax Cabinet, museum cars, Dinosauria Water and Activity Park (three medium-sized water slides, a swimming pool, a steam room, many activities, suitable for all ages), HyperDino indoor playing area (for children under 12 years) and Xon-Park (for teens and adults).
There is a lot of choice in activities (especially for children aged 4-10 years) but unfortunately many small details are a bit worn out and run-down.
Xon-Park is the new part for teens and adults: bungee jumping, catapult jumping, rodeo, sumo wrestling, paintball, go-karts, water balls, mega trampoline, gladiator battle etc.
A Jurasic themepark which in my opinion has seen it's best days (about 15years ago). I'm sure kids can have a fun time there anyways.
