Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival, museum visit, family lunch and park time — paced for kids with stroller-friendly transfers.
Check-in & Visit — Disgusting Food Museum (Södra Förstadsgatan 2)
Check in at the ticket desk on Södra Förstadsgatan 2. Explore 82 global foods that provoke disgust (look, smell, touch and some tastes). Tasting bar rotates 10–15 items daily. Disgusting Photo Booth included. Recommended visit duration: 1–1.5 hours.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your booked start time to check in at the ticket desk and avoid any wait if a timeslot is busy; museum entry is on Södra Förstadsgatan so follow street signs to the ticket desk.
- Stroller / accessibility: the venue lists wheelchair and stroller access — use the step-free entrance and ask staff for quieter routes if children are sensory-sensitive (some exhibits have strong smells).
- Child tickets must be booked with adult tickets. Prepare kids for strong smells and unusual textures — bring tissues, a water bottle and a ‘timeout’ plan if a child becomes overwhelmed.
Walk & Family Lunch — Malmö Saluhall (food hall)
Short walk from the museum to Malmö Saluhall for a relaxed, all-ages lunch. The food hall has multiple stalls so everyone can choose something they like (kid-friendly options available). Good place for allergies or picky eaters since stalls serve a variety.
Tips from local experts:
- Walk time: allow ~12–15 minutes on flat sidewalks; push strollers on Södra Förstadsgatan then through the city blocks toward Malmö Saluhall (Rörsjögatan) — it’s stroller-friendly.
- Facilities: Malmö Saluhall has family-friendly seating and public restrooms; ask staff for the nearest baby-change facility if needed.
- Ordering tip: pick one main stall for the family to avoid queuing at multiple counters — that keeps restless kids happy. Bring small cash and cards; some stalls accept only card.
Play & Relax — Folkets Park (playgrounds & shady lawns)
Short stroll from the food hall to Folkets Park — Malmö’s classic family park with play areas, green lawns, shaded benches and cafés. Great space for kids to run off energy after the museum and for caregivers to rest.
Tips from local experts:
- Playground & restrooms: Folkets Park has multiple playgrounds suitable for toddlers and older kids; locate the family restrooms and changing areas near the main entrance before settling in.
- Stroller access: paths through the park are mostly flat; use paved routes to move between playgrounds and cafés — keep valuables zipped when settling on lawns.
- Quiet time: if a nervous child needs a break from crowds or strong smells after the museum, the small pond areas and quieter paths are good calming spots — bring a light blanket for a restful break.
Stroll & Treat — Lilla Torg (cobbled square and ice cream)
Finish with a short walk to Lilla Torg — an atmospheric cobbled square with outdoor cafés and ice cream shops. A low-key place for relaxed family photos and an easy dessert before heading on.
Tips from local experts:
- Cobblestones: Lilla Torg is picturesque but uneven — keep younger children close and use a stroller wheel lock when stopped at cafés.
- Ice cream & seating: pick a café with outdoor seating to watch the square while kids enjoy a treat; many cafés offer smaller portions for little ones.
- Timing: in July the square is lively in the afternoon but not late — use this mellow post-park time to rehydrate kids and check for lost items (sunglasses, hats).
