• Elk statue at the door marks the main entrance, just behind Parliament House; the stroller and step-free entrance is the courtyard gate at Arkadiankatu 7
• Bingo cards in the lobby, with pens, in Finnish, Swedish and English, for a five-in-a-row hunt through the halls
• Bring your own snacks to the fourth-floor seating area or the courtyard tables, since eating in the exhibitions is not allowed

Five permanent exhibitions fill the building: Finnish Nature, World Nature, History of Life, Story of the Bones and Change in the Air, plus temporary shows. Kids can stand at the feet of a dinosaur skeleton, listen to night sounds under an African starry sky, and play museum bingo with cards in Finnish, Swedish and English. Mobile audio tours come in 60 languages.
