Visited in September and got comprehensive overview of Arctics. Kids will love it, and adults will have opportunity to see and touch the arctic soul.

We went with my family to Finland as we wanted to spend some days in December 2015 in a new magical and adventurous destination. We visited the Arktikum Museum in Rovaniemi and we really liked it.
