During the Bank Holiday Weekend, kids can play and learn outdoor games at Árbær Open Air Museum, ride a swing, or try out hula hoops and other toys.
At 13:00 and onwards, guests can compete in various games, such as sack race and tug of war.
The museum has a wide selection of outdoor toys that kids can use as they please, such as hula hoops, jump ropes, stilts and, most importantly, cool box cars. Then you can grab a badminton racket, and the old-fashioned playground has toys and a sandbox.
Free admission for children, people with disabilities and holders of the Reykjavík City Card and Culture Card.
