Things To Do With Kids in Malmö

When you visit us and Malmö with the little ones, we can warmly recommend a visit to a fairytale world filled with fun adventures! Funnys Äventyr is a culture house for children where play, fairy tales and adventure are always close at hand! Visit Fanny and all her friends at home, go for a ride in their magical fairytale carousel and watch cozy plays in the theater barn!

Another pro-tip is to go to Leo's Lekland, a play world for fun-loving children offering slides, ball pits, climbing frames, bikes, trampolines and much more.
