Stockholm is a fantastic city for kids with plenty of activities and attractions to keep them entertained. The city is renowned for its child-friendly culture, and the city’s playgrounds are definitely next level compared to playgrounds you can find in other European capitals. So far we have not seen any playground that disappointed. Below a list of our top favorite.
- Mulle Mecks Lekpark in Solna- google map
Based in the outskirts of Stockholm, in Solna, you might not bump into it on your way to tourist attractions but it’s worth the detour. The playground looks like a small village with houses, a boat, a car, a fire station, etc., all based on the popular Swedish children’s book series “Mulle Meck” which follows the adventures of a handyman named Mulle Meck. Children can let their imagination go wild and play pretend in all those amazing structures.The park also features a large sandpit, swings, and climbing structures. It’s big enough for the kids to want to spend a full afternoon/morning.
