"Children's City" is the newest museum in Helsinki. The "children" here can be both children and adults, because everyone has a child in their hearts. When a family visits together, children can learn about the childhood lifestyle of their parents or grandparents through various games, so that the childhood of different generations can naturally start a dialogue, and everyone can meet their own childhood here. "Children's City" has been very popular since its opening. Over the past year and a half, many kindergartens and parents like to take their children to play, and often hold workshops in conjunction with festivals or weekends.

This museum was established for a reason. Helsinki originally had two museums related to children and schools. However, due to the reduction of funds, it was decided to merge the two museums into one, and move the essence of two remote museums to the new museum in the city center, which is more convenient for people to get close. Although the project idea is good, it lacks funds. Unexpectedly, a long-time supporter of the museum donated his legacy to the museum before his death, and this "children's city" was established. This process seems to reflect the spirit of Finnish society: many things are done with the voluntary contribution of the people or voluntary efforts.
