Suomen Urheilumuseo

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:37:37

This sports museum, in the 1952 Olympic Stadium , houses Finland’s sporting hall of fame including the triumphs of runner Paavo Nurmi and ski-jumper Matti Nykänen. Good simulations let you compete in the 200m against champions and there’s an exhibition about pesäpallo, Finland’s baseball-like game. HI members get discounted admission. The stadium’s tower has a 72m-high viewing platform with top city vistas. Admission lets you into the still-handsome stadium to look at the running track and gives €2 discount to the sports museum (€3 vice versa).
