Easter in Stockholm 2027 runs from Långfredag on 26 March to Annandag påsk on 29 March, and påsklov for Stockholms stad's schools follows on 30 March to 2 April. Together with the weekend after, that gives pupils ten days off in a row. This guide lists the dates, then outdoor and indoor plans for families at Questrooms on Södermalm, with ages, prices and what happens if the April weather turns.

What can families do in Stockholm during påsklov 2027?
Families can mix an outdoor game on a dry day with an indoor game on a wet one. At Questrooms on Södermalm, the outdoor game Magic Portal suits children from 8 years, and the indoor rooms include Time Travellers for ages 8 to 12 and VR games from 8 and 10 years. Every game costs the same per person.
Easter traditions such as egg hunts and long lunches stay as they are. A 60-minute game is something to add on one of the ten days off, not a replacement. The kids and families page has the full overview of games and birthday packages for children.
Outdoor Easter weekend activities on Södermalm
Questrooms has two outdoor games, and both work as Easter weekend activities in early spring. Each team gets a bag with an iPad and materials at Kocksgatan 21A, so nobody needs their own phone. The route covers a few kilometres at a slow pace in the Katarina-Sofia area, and you finish where you started.
- Magic Portal: a fantasy adventure with augmented reality. Your team collects crystals and seals a portal between worlds. Age 8+, from 7 to 8 with adults, difficulty 3 of 5. Available in English, Swedish and 14 more languages, which helps visiting relatives.
- Operation Mindfall: a spy game with augmented reality for teenagers from 16 and adults. Difficulty 4 of 5.
Both games take about 1.5 hours on average and 2 hours at most, and a shorter 1-hour version is available on request. A booking takes 2 to 10 players, with at most 6 per team, so a family of eight plays as two teams at the same time. All outdoor games are listed on the outdoor escape rooms page.
What if the weather is bad over Easter?
April weather in Stockholm can change within a day, so outdoor games come with a flexible policy. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before the start. If the weather changes on the day, Questrooms offers an indoor game instead, if one is available, or a free reschedule. Rain alone does not stop the game.
Rainy day activities in Stockholm for kids at the same address:
- Time Travellers: a classic escape room for children aged 8 to 12, 3 to 7 players, with 1 adult in the room. Difficulty 2 of 5, not scary.
- Jungle Quest KIDS VR: a colourful VR adventure from 10 years, not scary.
- Smash Point KIDS VR: a cartoon arena game from 8 years, fast and competitive.
Which game fits which age?
The right game for Easter depends mostly on the age of the youngest player. The ages on the game cards at Questrooms are recommendations, and younger children may play together with their parents on the parents' responsibility. Horror Escape and Horror Escape TEENS are the exception: strictly 13+.
| Age of the youngest | Outdoor | Indoor |
|---|---|---|
| 7 to 8, with adults | Magic Portal | Smash Point KIDS VR (8+) |
| 8 to 12 | Magic Portal | Time Travellers, Smash Point KIDS VR, VR games from 10 |
| 13 to 15 | Magic Portal | VR games, Horror Escape TEENS, Russian Mafia (12+) |
| 16 and adults | Operation Mindfall, Magic Portal | VR games, Russian Mafia, Horror Escape (recommended 18+) |
