If you're looking for more adventurous activities, an indoor aqua park or swimming pool like Eriksdalsbadet might be more to your liking. If you'd prefer not to get wet altogether, there's indoor miniature golf at Golfbaren by Swing, indoor-petanque at Boulebar Rådhuset, or Klätterverket's indoor climbing track at your disposal.
There are of course, digital forms of entertainment to choose from as well. VREX offers a variety of immersive Virtual Reality games. And if you prefer analog entertainment, for example, a good book to lose yourself in, might we suggest a visit to one of Stockholm's libraries, such as The Royal Library, or Kulturhuset? The latteris famed not only for its comics and music library, but also their special library for children and teens.
