Children’s Castle is open from 22 June to 9 August 2026.
In the summer, Kalmar Castle is transformed into a children’s castle and is filled with knights, princesses and jesters. Here, children can take on the ten challenges of the castle tournament, go on a princess walk or join in on a treasure hunt. In the inner and outer courtyards there are historical play environments built with adventures and challenges. Meet King Erik XIV, Cecilia Vasa, the Black Knight, Astro, the jester and many more!
An adventure featuring 10 challenges awaits in the The castle tournament! Step straight into the 16th century in the castle courtyard and take on a ten-part competition. Defeat a dragon, study the stars with Astro, and challenge the Black Knight. Once you have completed all the trials, you will be dubbed a knight, duke, or princess in a solemn ceremony. Ages 7 and up.
Five missions must be solved and then it ends with an exciting treasure hunt together with the jester. Where does the treasure map lead and who really gave the mission to the children? Can also be divided and done at the same time as an older sibling does the The Castle Tournament. From 3 years.
