Vapriikki Museum Centre
Museokeskus Vapriikki
A cluster of museums in a former locomotive factory beside the rapids, including the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame and the Finnish Museum of Games.
Converted from the old workshops of the Tampella factory, a single ticket gives access to several permanent exhibitions. These include the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame, the Finnish Museum of Games (from Nokia phone games to Angry Birds), exhibitions on minerals and natural history, the history of Tampere, and a postal museum. Rotating special exhibitions are also held. Tickets cost about €15 to €20. The museum is closed on Mondays and is usually open from about 10:00 to 18:00. It stands on the eastern bank of the rapids and is about 10 minutes' walk from the city centre.
