A family day in Linköping: from Gamla Linköping to a bank heist
Start the day at Gamla Linköping, 2 km west of the centre. The open-air museum area has free admission and is open all year, with cobbled lanes, around a hundred wooden houses and horses, goats and sheep at Valla gård. Next door are the Lill-Valla playground and Fenomenmagasinet, a science centre. Buses 3, 6, 12, 14 and 18 run there from the Resecentrum.
After lunch, head into the centre and play with us on Sankt Larsgatan. Three rooms suit families, all from age 10: The Wild East Bank Heist rated Easy/Medium, The Wild West Bank Heist rated Medium and The Laboratory rated Hard. Two families can race in the bank heists when both rooms are free at the same start time. Mix the teams so that each bank gets both adults and children.
Rather stay in town? Östergötland Museum is 10–14 minutes from us, with the Viljans värld play area. Children up to 18 get free admission there, as they do at the Air Force Museum in Malmslätt, where kids can build and test things in Flyglabbet.
