Museum of Illusions Stockholm

The striped basics and excellent outerwear are a Swedish parent staple, especially useful if the weather surprises you.

A whole hall of counters means every person can choose something different without splitting up for dinner.

Swedish design, small gifts and clever objects make this a useful place to find something for kids that is not plastic tourist junk.

A bustling classic where noise works in your favor with kids, and the menu has enough simple options to avoid drama.

Soft baby clothes and gifts make this a lovely stop when you want something Swedish for a younger child.

Rooms full of optical illusions turn the whole visit into photos and puzzles, so nobody has to stand quietly and look.
