Kalmar with children: 7 tips for things to do
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Kalmar läns museum. We were very interested in the story of the ship Kronan. The kids loved 'Superkronan' the play exhibit, designed for preschool children and up. After, we had a fika at Restaurang & Kafé Ångkvarnen

Highlights: The kids especially loved the Superkronan exhibit, where they could 'play shipwreck' and the lekyta. "Think getting to play shipwreck for real!" The food at the restaurant was great, too ✨
