  The exhibits are educational and immersive, with 1-2 actors in each building acting as people would during that time. The buildings are pretty sparse, with short walks in between each, so I would recommend going when the weather is good. The paths are wide and clear, and the atmosphere there is relaxing. It is perfect for tourists wishing to understand more about the local culture, especially for families with children. I did not notice any established restaurants, but they have a small bakery and a large courtyard with many food and drinks stalls. I would recommend this grilled fish stall, which is situated right after the courtyard and next to the lake. It is hot and fresh and perfect for the chilly weather.

  We visited in January, and unfortunately it's a bit of a ghost town - very few of the exhibits were open, nor the stalls and cafes, so take a picnic with you. However we did take in the animals and were fortunate they were all out and about, including Lynx, wolverine and wolves. The Baltic Sea Centre on site is also very good, with a great display of arctic sea life.
