The Maritime Museum has just opened its doors again. And there are plenty of new features. The museum hasn’t just extended its exhibition area to twice its former size. It’s also been made twice as much fun for children. And the “old” Maritime Museum, with its pirate flag, figureheads and sailing ship fittings, was already a huge hit ...

On 9 June 2012 the new Leklandet will be opening its doors at Käringsund, Eckerö. The large Eckeröhallen sports hall will be filled with enormous inflatable bouncy castles, adventure obstacle courses, slides, football games and other inflatable attractions on a theme of pirates. There are a total of 21 different attractions. Full of mischief for children, young people and adults who need a break from playing on the beach.

This will take you straight into the Viking world. When you visit the Viking market in Kvarnbo on 26-28 July, you meet bearded Vikings, serfs in rags and women with jewelry and beautiful costumes.

Both pike and sport anglers have a wonderful time among Åland’s thousands of islands and coves.

Treat yourself, the children or the whole family to a course in sport fishing. Small children reckon it is tremendous fun to fish for perch. Slightly older children can have a go at fishing for pike. One thing you can rely on: your first pike will be a memory for life.
