Little Finland takes you on adventures to interesting places with children. This community map service collects the best tips for family travel in Finland. Suggest a nice playground, a wonderful beach or any other place worth seeing from a child's perspective, and help other families plan trips all around Finland.
But what exactly is Little Finland?
Little Finland is the six-year-old little sister of Little Helsinki. The website's idea is to offer tips and ideas for families for summer vacation trips, cottage getaways or day trips with children. The main focus of the service is the child's perspective: what fun, interesting, exciting or new things would be worth experiencing and what would you recommend to other families traveling with children. Since the Little Helsinki team unfortunately doesn't know nearly all of Finland's gems, we need your help: suggest your family's or friend group's favorite hidden treasures in Finland and save another family's vacation!
Little Finland is built collaboratively by helping others and now we need your valuable expertise. Tips are collected on the map by topic and your task is easy: just write your tip in the TIP FORM (below) and press send. Submitting tips is fast and easy and we don't ask for your name. Let's create a colorful Little Finland map full of adventures across Finland together!
The web version of the tip form can be found through this link.
A tip can be almost anything: activities, experiences, nature spots, fun places, swimming ideas, great playgrounds, child-friendly services or anything you can imagine families with children would appreciate. All tips are reviewed and added to the service after evaluation.
Little Finland wants, like Little Helsinki, to make family life and vacations a little easier and encourage exploring new places. The golden thread is Little Helsinki's underlying idea: everything in one easy place, recommended by experts and new adventures: for children, an experience is often a great harbor crane, a nice nature hike or an amazing carousel at a new playground. The hope is also to encourage traveling in Finland with children.
Little Finland's target group is families with children under 15 years old.
Summer 2020 was Little Finland's pilot phase and showed that there was demand for travel tips. Little Finland's development work and funding search continue in 2022.
