First Weekend in Helsinki with Kids, 5 of 10: Oodi Helsinki Central Library



Oodi is the city's central library, opposite Parliament House. The top floor holds the children's section: a story room, the Playground Loru play loft, and an interactive fairytale wall where kids play music games or paint northern lights with hand movements.
The second floor has music studios, game rooms and a makerspace with 3D printers, a laser cutter and sewing machines. The Makasiinipuisto playground sits right outside.
