In 2012 the Helsinki City Museum opened the Children's Town. This new kind of children’s museum invites children of all ages and their families to experience the history of Helsinki first-hand. In the Children’s Town, children can play in boutiques and workshops from 18th-century Helsinki, sit at a school desk in a 1930s primary school class and visit a grandma’s home from the 1970s. The Sederholm House, built in 1757, is the oldest building downtown.

Address: Aleksanterinkatu 16-18 FI-00170 Helsinki

Opening hours: Tue–Fri 13–17, Sat–Sun 11–17. The museum will close 30 April 2014 due to renovations and reopen in 2016.
