Mini-cities for big adventures: playgrounds in Stockholm

I just love these cute playgrounds for perfect pretend play: bakeries, garages, shops, ice cream or hot dog shops - perfect mini-cities for letting children's imagination be free.

Let's check some of the most fun mini-city playgrounds in Stockholm

In the playground, Långsjöparken, the settlers and entrepreneurs who shaped Stuvsta, Snättringe and Huddinge are celebrated. It is a mini-city playground that offers a bakery, garage, and more in its charming mini-city playground. There are also grass areas and a smaller football field

Several of the buildings can be entered and played in, while some are staged houses. In the workshop and forge, the children can make use of period tools.
