Children’s Traffic Town

Changes in the activities of Children’s Traffic Town.

Children’s Traffic Town has served as a traffic safety learning environment for children in Helsinki in the Laakso district since 1958.

Due to the expansion of the Laakso Joint Hospital, the traffic town will have to move temporarily to ensure the safety and comfort of the activities. The City of Helsinki is not planning on giving up the current location, and the closure is only temporary.

For the time being, Children’s Traffic Town can be used freely with visitors’ own equipment. The summer season at Children’s Traffic Town ended on 11 August, and guided activities will no longer be organised in the town this school year. However, substitute traffic education will be arranged in cooperation with schools for the period in question. Please note that there is a large construction site and very heavy worksite traffic around Children’s Traffic Town. Take special care and follow all signs when arriving in Children’s Traffic Town!

A temporary transfer of Children’s Traffic Town activities to the eastern part of Helsinki is being planned. The exact location has not yet been decided, but according to current information, the operation will be launched in the new traffic town in summer 2025. Children’s Traffic Town will return to the Laakso district in 2028.

Updated information on the situation will be available on the https://nuorten.hel.fi/en/ website and the Children’s Traffic Town Instagram page @liikennekaupunki.

Children’s Traffic Town would like to thank all visitors for the past season!
