The Scandinavian countries have a unique advantage: a special attention to children that no amount of exciting rides or cutting-edge entertainment can replace. Finland is renowned for its carefully planned children’s leisure activities, ensuring your child never gets bored, spending time productively.
Family and Entertainment Centers
Family centers are scattered throughout the country, appealing to both adults and children. They offer a variety of recreational and entertainment opportunities. Moominworld, Santa Claus Village, amusement parks, zoos, water parks, science centers, and theme parks are just a few of the rich selection. Here, you can not only have fun, but also learn a lot, see amazing performances, and meet their characters. Almost every large city has amusement parks, entertainment centers, and educational centers: the Tykkimäki Luna Park, the Särkänniemi Amusement Park, the Laune Family Park, the Viherlaakso Fairytale Valley, and the Puuhamaa Amusement Park are just a few of the opportunities for children’s recreation in Finland.
Children’s and Youth Camps
Older children sometimes benefit from camps separate from adults, which helps them develop independence, make new friends, and develop teamwork skills. Children’s and youth camps are available in almost every country, including Finland: they can focus on health, sports, thematic, scientific, and other topics. Such trips not only promote a child’s development but also help them understand which career paths are most interesting for them in the future.
Hotel and Camping Accommodation
Accommodating children in hotels is easy. In addition to creating child-friendly conditions, many hotels offer free accommodation for children under 12 or offer attractive discounts. If you’re planning a long vacation with children, it’s more cost-effective to stay in an apartment or suite.
And as for food, don’t worry: most cafes and restaurants offer special children’s menus to satisfy a wide range of tastes and preferences.
If you’re planning a summer trip to Finland, consider traveling by car and staying in campsites. Modern campsites offer all the amenities for a comfortable stay: hot water, showers, equipped kitchens, children’s playgrounds, shops, and much more. This trip will allow you to fully enjoy Finland’s unique, virtually untouched, and carefully preserved nature.
