Loads to see

The airport also hosts different temporary exhibitions. And, of course, the shops offer plenty to see and check out.
In front of the Moomin Shop (Gate 26–27), Moomintroll and Snufkin are joined by three humongous Hattifatteners. Ever-changing pop-up-shops feature themes for the entire family.
Both older and younger children are sure to enjoy the racing games near Gate 16. It is easy to charge your own game devices at the airport’s many charging points, and the airport-wide unlimited Wifi connection is available for free to all passengers.
PS: If you are departing from Helsinki Airport Terminal 2, bear in mind that you can use a special security check point intended to speed up and ease the process for families travelling with children. You can even borrow a pram.
