Vihiluoto is the seaside oasis in Kempele, and its services are built, maintained and developed by the village association. There is a swimming beach, a marina, beach volley courts, an accessible nature trail with a bird-watching tower and barbecue place. In addition, there is a 7-hole disc golf course, a skateboard ramp, and in summer, a field for 20 sheeps. In winter, the village association prepares skiing tracks and a tour skating route on the sea ice. Finlandia Hotel Airport Oulu and Vihiluodon Torppa, an atmospheric restaurant and terrace on the seashore are all located in Vihiluoto.

Köykkyri is a centre for downhill and cross-country skiing and recreation. You have direct access to great nature trails in Köykkyrin retkireitistö, where you can jog or ride fatbikes. You can also ski 4-kilometres to Marjakammi, where you will find a lean-to shelter where you can have snacks by the open fire. At one kilometre from Marjakammi, there is a municipal swimming beach at Mourunkijärvi. Nearby, there is the Linnunrata farm that raises alpacas. The farm welcomes tourist groups to walk alpacas in the nature and it has also a cafe, which is open during the highest seasons. 

The Local History Museum on Kirkkotie road near the centre is a traditional Northern Ostrobothnian courtyard where the buildings represent different time periods. Specialities include a small house built by WWII soldiers for their comrade in arms behind the frontlines and a turf cottage, both unique in Finland. In summer, there is live music and theatre at the museum, as well as a Midsummer party. In winter, there is an old-time Christmas market and groups are invited to experience traditional Finnish Christmas and to learn about the history of Christmas celebrations.
