Ready to see the city through a child\u2019s eyes? Helsinki is a wonderful place for families, with unforgettable experiences waiting right outside your door. Hop on a clattering vintage tram, climb aboard a bright orange bendy bus, or ride the really long escalators deep underground. Once you get going, there\u2019s no shortage of fun \u2013 from children\u2019s theatre and libraries to urban farms and viewpoints that\u2019ll make little ones squeal with delight (not to mention the ever-popular construction sites that toddlers can\u2019t get enough of).<\/p>\n
Family-friendly caf\u00e9s and restaurants can be found on almost every corner, and weekends are filled with events and workshops. But the true gems \u2013 the places you\u2019ll want to visit again and again \u2013 aren\u2019t just passing highlights. The museums, island routes, greenhouses and playgrounds that make Helsinki such a great city for kids stay brilliant all year round.<\/p>\n
This list is a constantly updated collection of our favourite family-friendly things to do in Helsinki. Some are obvious classics \u2013 yes, everyone\u2019s heard of the unbeatable children\u2019s area at Oodi Central Library \u2013 but it really is that good. It\u2019s saved us more than once when the kids needed to burn off energy or a toilet emergency struck.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll also find plenty of other ideas here, with something for every age and every budget \u2013 and quite a few that won\u2019t cost a thing.<\/p>\n
