Suggestions for Family-friendly places near Helsinki

Jari • August 2, 2012Too close to kids playground. Parents sipping coffee and kids running between cafe & playground. Noisy. Playground blocks the view. Pity. Stay away unless you love screaming kids.

Piritta M. • December 14, 2015Looking for a nice, trendy place to have brunch or breakfast in? Go, you will probably love it. At least I did. The porridge, the smoothie, the freshly squeezed juice, the tea, the morning light.

Kai L. • July 3, 2015Lovely self made ice cream, especially lemon was excellent!

A B. • March 5, 2016Huge delicious portions. Tried the Lafa Falafel (say it out loud :D) and it took me two sittings to finish it - had a great dinner and breakfast :D

Martien B. • August 5, 2012The best hangout for reading a book and enjoying the view of Helsinki.

Xhark Baby n' Kid's swimwear • January 12, 2012Kids pools and games, large lawn area around the pool, makes it the perfect summer city spot for a family picnic :) (not many places under shadow remember UV protection and sunblock)

Kasper N. • July 26, 2015Cats & good coffee... What's not to love!
