Take the children to Tropiclandia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelling with children in the summer? One of their favourite things to do in Vaasa is to visit Tropiclandia, where you'll find a water park, spa and more. If you stay at Top Camping Vaasa, you get a discount, and the \"little train\" leaves from there as well. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3531776678\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-3963435821\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Att g\u00f6ra i Vasa - Tropiclandia\" class=\"wp-image-209559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2339.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-5-kryssa-pa-vattnen-runt-vasa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Kryssa_pa_vattnen_runt_Vasa\"><\/span>5.

There are more than 60 historical buildings, many of which are decorated as farms, cottages and craft environments from the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also take a look at a nice old farm shop and a village school. In the summer there are guided tours a few times a day, and joining such a tour really enhances the visit. We got to hear many exciting stories and look at interesting artefacts from the past. It's also a bit funny that \"today's\" newspaper is on display ... from today's date, but a hundred years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"209561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Wasabladet\" class=\"wp-image-209561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2303.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"209568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Stundars friluftsmuseum\" class=\"wp-image-209568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2325.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"209562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Stundars friluftsmuseum\" class=\"wp-image-209562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_IMG_E2322.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-18-se-soderfjarden-meteoritkrater\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Se_Soderfjarden_meteoritkrater\"><\/span>18.
