Travel with Children
Finland is incredibly child friendly, and is a terrific place to holiday with kids.
Domestic tourism is largely dictated by children's needs, and child-friendly
attractions abound in the height of summer, while winter brings its own
snowy delights, including Santa.
Best Regions for Kids
Helsinki
Many attractions, with trams, boats, zoo, Suomenlinna fortress, Linnanmäki amusement
park, and Serena waterpark at Espoo. Most museums and galleries have child-friendly
exhibits.
Åland Archipelago
Flat archipelago perfect for family cycling and gentle beaches; also has forts and
castles both stone and bouncy.
The Lakeland
The castle at Savonlinna and scope for watery activities make this region one of the
best for children.
West Coast
Theme parks at Vaasa, sandy beaches at Yyteri and Kalajoki, and tranquil shores.
Turku & the South Coast
Moominworld at Naantali is a magnet for the young, who drag their parents here from
all over the northern lands. Turku itself offers rope courses, skiing and karting, while the
