I was here on a university placement for 28 days, working on experimental archaeological projects at the site. I was not employed by the site, and did not work there. The location is two parts; the first is a museum, showing some of the local finds and parts of prehistoric culture. This provided a lot of information on Finnish culture and the local area. The second part is the prehistoric village, which is approximately 500m walk away. This show interpretations of Finnish structures such as log houses, and a sauna. They also have a trap trail, which is some 400m long, displaying different types of traps used for hunting different animals. The walk to the village and around the trap trail is via wooden decking, which bar one spot is wheelchair accessible. The spot is a short stretch of slope, again with wooden decking which is accessible to wheelchairs but I would find it difficult to push a wheelchair up or down the slope. In the village itself is a combination of sand, gravel, and hard soil. It is fully possible to push around a wheelchair here but I would recommend watching where you go, and it might not be possible to enter the buildings. The staff as a whole were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. As soon as guests enter the site, they will be greeted by a staff member and the area explained. Around the site are a couple of different activities, such as archery, canoeing in a log canoe, painting using ochre or making a stone necklace. I think as a visitor, it is very easy to spend half a day at the village itself, trying out the different things. This museum is well worth a visit, but is an hour travel outside of Oulu so plan...

The route could be marked more clearly Infoboards, live examples Helpful, knowledgeable staff = An interesting dip into the stoneage and how life was then. So interesting and capturing (with the do-it-yourself checkpoints) that a "quick visit" easily extends to an 2-4 hour experience.

Wheelchair accessible, children welcome. The walkway is in good condition and short enough (~1.5km?) for a 4+ year old child to walk it. You can try things such as spear throwing, archery, boating, jewelry making etc, all in the stone age fashion. There's visitable dwellings, trap examples and even an archaeology site you can visit & dig yourself.

In short; Stoneage made interesting & fun for the...

Kierikkikeskus on Yli-Iissä toimiva, Oulun kaupungin Museo- ja tiedekeskus Luuppiin kuuluva arkeologinen keskus, jossa voi tutustua Iijoen alueen esihistorialliseen menneisyyteen. Päärakennuksessa sijaitsee erittäin laadukas arkeologinen näyttely, joka mammutinhampaineen ja muine erikoisuuksineen kiinnostaa myös perheen pienimpiä. Keskuksessa voi mm. ottaa itsestään selfien kivikauden asussa! Päärakennuksessa toimii myös matkamuistomyymälä ja kahvila-ravintola, jossa mm. lounastusmahdollisuus.

Päärakennus oli valmistuessaan vuonna 2001 yksi maailman suurimmista hirsirakennuksista.

Samalla alueella sijaitsee myös Kierikin kivikautinen kylä, jonne päärakennukselta on matkaa n. 400 metriä. Polun varrella esitellään alueen arkelogisia kohteita ja opaskyltein. Kesäisin Kierikkssä järjestetään myös yleisökaivauksia, joita pääsee myös polun varrella seuraamaan. Tie kivikauden kylään on hyväkuntoinen ja pitkostettu leveillä lankuilla ja kulkeminen onnistuu myös lastenvaunujen kanssa, sekä pyörätuolilla ainakin avustajan ollessa mukana.

Kivikauden kylässä on mahdollisuus tutustua aikakauden rakennuksiin, muinaisiin pyyntimenetelmiin ja työtapoihin. Kesäisin Kierikissä järjestetään myös kivikautiset markkinat, jotka tarjoavat mukavasti ohjelmaa, näkemistä ja kokemista kaiken ikäisille.

Alueen kruunaavat Iijoen hienot maisemat, kangasmetsät ja pienet suolämpäreet.

Opastus ja palvelu olikesällä 2017 hyvin ystävällistä ja kohdetta voi suositella kaikille historiasta kiinnostuneille ikään katsomatta!

Matkaa Oulusta Kierikkiin on n. 60 km. Alueella on runsaasti ilmaista paikoitustilaa ja myös matkailuautolle löytää helposti parkin.

MAJOITUSTA ALUEELLA: Samalla alueella toimii Hotelli Kierikinhovi (entinen Arctic Hotel Kierikki) on mukava ja lemmikkiystävällinen paikka. Siisteissä huoneistoissa on pikkukeittiö ja huippuna terassi lähes veden päällä ja maisemat pienelle lammelle. Saunarakennukset ovat viihtyisiä ja lammessa on mahdollista uida. Rauhallinen ja hiljainen ympäristö takaa täydellisen...

Nice and well presented exhibition, also interesting building in its own, and a nice walk amongst the excavation sites and replica buildings. Many activities, archery, jewelry making, boat rowing and when we visited they had a mini blues concert and a live chainsaw sculpture making contest! I had to deduct one star for the lunch buffet. Not a single item was home made, not even the mashed potatoes! I hope this was due to us eating pretty late lunch, even though I don't think so. So, go for a visit and bring mosquito repellent to enjoy the outdoor part more, but maybe skip the lunch! :)

Mahtavaa historian havinaa henkivä kohde. Hieno miljöö ja ihanassa luonnonhelmassa. Kivenhiontapiste mukava toiminto, mutta ohjaaja/opas möyrötti omassa nurkassa omissa oloissa edes tervehtimättä ketään. Jousiammunta oli mukavaa ja sen ohjaaja/opas tervehti sekä huomioi hyvin kävijät, varsinkin lapset. Tästä 10 pistettä ja papukaija merkki. Ruuhella melonta oli ihana kokemus, mutta ehkä oppaan voisi ohjeistaa välillä lappaamaan vettä pois ruuhista sekä kuivaamaan niitä. Tai voisi olla joku istuinalusta ettei takamus ole märkänä. Ohjaajilla muinaisasujen seassa omia vaatteita joka vähän myös vei fiilistä esim lippalakki ja kellot sekä viimeisimmät trenditennarit. Ymmärrän toki esim.silmälasit yms. Punamulta maalauspiste ei ollut käytössä. Ansapolulla hyvät opasteet ja pitkoksetkin hyvässä kunnossa. Museossa kaikki kauniisti esillä ja siistiä. Matkamuistomyymälässä ei oltu viety hintoja riistoasteelle, nii raski hyvin ostaakin muistoja. Myös valikoima oli teemaan sopiva. Kävijöille myös rasti tehtävä josta sai pienen palkinnon ja tää oli tosi kiva. Lauantai 6.7.2024
