Our favorite things to do with small kids in Lofoten

Sightseeing

The beach at Ramberg is huge with white sand. Let the kids roam free, while having a clear view of their activities. It does not matter if it is ten degrees. Other beaches that are great for kids: -Valbergstranda. Park by the church in Valberg, this is the best beach close to the apartment. About 15 minutes by car. Not as crowded as Haukland beach. -Haukland. The most popular beach. We recommend not going on the hottest summer days, as it will be hard to find a parking space. Save this gem for an afternoon trip, or to see the midnight sun. -Unstad. This surfers paradise is also great for kids to play at the beach. Stop by Lofoten gårdsysteri on the way, maybe you’ll see the baby goats.

Kids love playing at the sea shore, finding shells, crabs, starfish and other natural artifacts. This can be done all year round, when there is not a storm, just get dressed for the occassion! The sea shore in Myklevika is ideal on the low tide, and close to the apartment. Park by the church, and walk 100-300 meters to access the sea shore.

From Hagskaret parking, you can hike in different directions. The trails are wide and great for kids, you can even bring a pram. Take your time, bring a packed lunch, and look for blueberries in late July and August. In the winter, this is a great starting point for cross country ski trips.

Activities

A real fun place, with friendly staff. You get to borrow bowling shoes, even for small kids (down to size 25 I think). Great on a rainy day!

Learn about the vikings, and maybe try to ride a horse or shoot bow and arrow. As it is both indoors and outdoors activities, we recommend going on a day with nice weather.

"Jungelen" in Stamsund was created by local enthusiasts who wanted a place for kids and families to come together and spend time outdoors. Park by the entrance to "Lysløypa", it is a short walk from there. Bring a packed lunch and drinks. There is even possible to make a fire and grill sausages.
