Children’s Christmas

At Children’s Christmas, the youngest visitors can enjoy a winter atmosphere through rhymes and songs, while older children can take part in craft activities and marvel magic tricks. In the museum’s Grandma’s House, preparations for an old-fashioned Christmas are underway, and in Children’s Town visitors can complete a self-guided activity trail. During the event, you can meet not only Santa Claus but also Rudi the guide dog. A dedicated quiet room will also be available for visitors who need a calm space. The programme has been created in collaboration with Meri-Helsingin musiikkiopisto.
