Everything you should know before you book
Stockholm is an easy city with children: compact, safe, and full of hands-on attractions that are as fun for adults. This list ranks the family favourites by review score — Astrid Lindgren's Junibacken brings the world of Pippi Longstocking to life, the Paradox Museum is full of optical illusions, Tom Tits Experiment is a giant interactive science playground, and Skansen pairs an open-air park with Nordic animals.
Buy timed tickets for the busy indoor ones. Junibacken and the Paradox Museum get crowded on weekends, school holidays, and rainy days, so a dated ticket saves a queue. Skansen's hilltop park and animal enclosures are an easy half-day, and the Djurgården ferry ride over is part of the fun.
