Stockholm for kids: Indoor play-centres

Looking for a place to take the kids in Stockholm? Whatever the weather or season, indoor play centres provide the perfect place to host your child’s birthday party, somewhere to take the children when the weather is poor and simply an outing that’s fun for the whole family.

Indoor Play Centre

Most play-centres serve typical Swedish ‘barn mat’, meals like meatballs and potatoes, pancakes, and hot dogs.  Water is usually free and there are usually lots of different juices and milk.  There is usually a wide variety of sweets and candy.

In many play centres around Stockholm, there is a small cost for the children to play and they must be accompanied by an adult.  Adults and children under one get free entrance. There will typically be a microwave to warm baby food up, changing facilities and a small child area for babies.

In recent years, a few newer play centres have also begun to pop up alongside some of the more well-known and older favorites. Here are some of the best play centres in and around Stockholm:
