Family trip to Norrkoping with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

The Swedish city of Norrköping favorably located by the picturesque river Motala attracts many tourists looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. It offers plenty of attractions - both created by nature (Yxbacken hill) and by man (the City Hall, Hedvigs Kyrka). Not only adults but also children will be happy to explore them all. The same applies to walking in parks, visiting entertainment centers, and enjoying water activities (cruises, kayaking).

A visit to Centralbadet will help you make your time in Norrkoping especially enjoyable. The complex provides every condition for quality rest - outdoor pools (available only in summer), a diving pool, and indoor pools. Besides that, many visitors prefer places for enjoying plenty of sunbathing. The complex is very clean and well maintained, which is another plus to visiting the center. It is worth taking into account that it is very popular so often crowded, especially in the summer season.

Small children from 2 to 6 years old will get an amazing experience visiting Busfabriken. Trampolines, cannons with plastic balls, cable ladders, and constructions are equipped for them here. Apart from that, they often hold themed parties and children's birthdays - children will certainly be thankful for parents who arranged such a fantastic holiday for them. While the kids are playing with other children and making new friends, adults can have a bite to eat at a restaurant. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Well, older children aged from 6 to 12 years old will surely appreciate a holiday organized by their parents in Visualization Center C. This is a great center with amazing space exhibits, as well as the opportunity to conduct experiments - for example, visitors can connect the brain's synapses with the leg, control a small ball through the transmission of waves from the brain, see how the human body works. Besides the above, Visualization Center C has a specially equipped VR room, a room for theme parties, and a cinema where you can watch movies about dinosaurs, the underwater world, and the human body. Parents also like that after visiting the complex their children begin to understand many things better and will be able to demonstrate this at school and thus surprise even some teachers.

Mini-golf is another activity kids will enjoy. Norrkoping has several clubs for this - Himmelstalunds Minigolf and Äventyrsgolfen. Both are beautifully decorated and famous for their well-maintained facilities. If you visit Aqua Golf, children will get a great golfing experience. The complex is located near the picturesque river, which gives some charm to the game. On the other side is Himmelstalund Camping where everyone can set up a camp to feel unity with nature. Racketstadion Tennis Court and a skate park are located nearby.

The whole family will be happy to walk through Carl Johans Park. The park is very beautiful and well-kept, featuring fountains and beautiful flower beds. One of the most beautiful is a cactus bed (by the way, the tradition of planting cacti has existed in Norrkoping since the 1920s). As for other parks, an outstanding one is Vasaparken providing many opportunities for kids, including playgrounds and special events that children of any age will appreciate. In Oxelbergsparken, young visitors can play on a playground enjoying stunning views of the city.

In the end, they should be pampered with some tasty treats at one of the numerous local restaurants. So, you can take kids to Lindahls konditorier where one should pay attention to delicious pastries, to Fargargarden Cafe, which, besides its wonderful atmosphere of closeness to nature, delights guests with tasty waffles, or to Espresso House that serves wonderful pies. One more place is for those who prefer delicious pastries and cookies - this is Brodernas Cafe. It's no secret that all kids like pizza, and in Norrkoping, you can order one at such pizzerias as Napoli or Massimo.
