Moderna Museet

Models, design and family workshops give kids something concrete to do while adults get their architecture fix.

A smaller museum with objects from China, Japan and Korea, best for older kids who already like history and art.

Quiet island surroundings give kids room to wander outside while you are still walking distance from major museums.

Storybook rooms, a little train ride and loads of Astrid Lindgren make this especially good for preschool and early elementary ages.

A central waterfront location and roomy common spaces make this a polished choice when you still want the hotel to feel relaxed.

The children's studio and family activities make this far less intimidating than bringing kids into a big art museum.
