We at Messukeskus want to make your participation as easy as possible – also with young children!
Below you will find a compilation of services and areas to make it easier for families with children to visit the fair. In addition to the usual services at the Children’s Fair, you will also find an event area with a nappy depot, a guarded pram park, a laundry and a breastfeeding point. Frequently asked children’s stickers will be available at each entrance as long as there are enough stickers.
If your child goes missing on the premises, please report it to the Children’s Search Patrol. Children’s Search Patrol circle the expo center during events. You can also report a missing person to the information point in Hall 6, where the Children’s Search Team will take the lost children.
