Leo's Lekland Bromma

Older kids can actually float in the wind tunnel, which makes this a memorable splurge rather than another museum day.

Burgers, fries and milkshakes keep dinner simple, especially after a day when the kids have already done enough adapting.

Giant wooden owls, mushrooms and forest creatures make this one of the city's most memorable themed playgrounds.

More rocks than beach, so this is better for confident older swimmers than toddlers who want shallow water.

A straightforward family base near trains and shopping, useful when you care more about space and price than historic charm.

A neighborhood park with playground space and rocky paths, good for a simple afternoon away from tourist crowds.
