All day long on Saturday, June 13 2015 (from 10:00 until 18:00), kids and their parents are invited to join The Kids Friendly World - an international festival at the Sirius sports resort at Pyhtää, Finland (just an hour drive from Helsinki). The festival is a Quest: there is a Start and a Finish and kids complete fun tasks at each of at least 6 (out of 13) Play Stations and get their deserved prize at the Finish line: a bright silicon bracelet and a helium-filled balloon.

Kids will be able to try being a sculptor, a dancer, an artist, a sky-diver or surfer, a Cinderella, hug Hanna the Fish, complete an obstacle course, jump in a pirate bounce house, play laser tag, put out a fire and climb inside a real fire truck, put together an octopus puzzle, sit in a kart and offroad, dance, build a sailboat, wear a shark-like crown and more.

In the process of the game, the Festival guests get to meet, and have fun with, some of the kids-friendliest companies of Finland and Europe. Families can join the fun at any time during the day, but passing all Play Stations takes at least 1.5 hours, and participation is free. The official languages of the Festival are English, Finnish and Russian.

The Sirius sports resort offers surfing, flying and rope park adventure. The resort has a cozy kids-friendly restaurant, free parking and is just an hour drive from Helsinki (as well as from the Russian boarder).
