A ride through a Viking story plus artifacts and costumed guides makes the history much easier for kids to follow.

Farm animals, woods and water make this a great low cost nature day when you want kids outdoors without a long drive.

A short boat ride gets you an island with swimming, crafts and food without committing to a full archipelago expedition.

Water views and boats outside make this feel like a mini resort while still being close enough for city sightseeing.

Getting there by boat and exploring a fortress gives school age kids plenty of adventure before they even read an exhibit.

Lake swimming, trails and a café make this one of the easiest places to feel like you left the city without really doing so.
