Traveling to Helsinki with your family? Here’s a playful day plan that keeps kids entertained, rain or shine.
🍓 Morning: Helsinki Market Square (Kauppatori)
Start with fresh berries or sweet cinnamon buns at the market. Kids love feeding the seagulls (watch your snacks!) and seeing the colorful stalls.
🦭 Late Morning: Helsinki Sea Life or Korkeasaari Zoo
If the weather’s good, hop on a short ferry to Korkeasaari Zoo. Otherwise, explore the magical underwater world at Sea Life.
🕵️ Afternoon: Solve puzzles together at aMazed Games
Older kids (around 6+) and teens will absolutely love the escape rooms at aMazed Games.The games are not scary, but full of clever clues, beautiful environments, and a great way to bond as a family team. Choose a room that suits your group – and remember, they’re all in English too! For families with kids we suggest for example Voyage escape room, it has wonderful surprises for all ages!
🍕 Evening: Pizza and gelato in Kamppi
Finish the day with something easy and crowd-pleasing. Try Pjazza for Italian-style pizzas or get takeaway and eat in your hotel with a movie.
