Ikea Småland Has Reopened for Drop-in this Spring

Mar. 22

Ikea Småland, the most-valuable-player of the toddler years of many parents - your key to dropping by your local IKEA store and having a solid thirty-minutes of silence, as you browse through the local IKEA store, sipping on a drink from the cafeteria that doesn’t get cold (or warm) before you get the chance to drink it.

As a bonus to reopening, we were surprised to see that the space has undergone some fanci-fication. There’s a lovely fairy-tale theme throughout the space, complete with a giant clog, perfect for toddlers and young children to climb in.

Here’s what you should know before you use the drop-off service at IKEA Småland:

Children can be left to visit Småland for 45-60 minutes, depending on how busy the store is. We suggest shopping with a friend, or leaving sibling pairs in case there are no other children to play with. The more the merrier, and Småland might be a little boring if there are no other children to explore it with. This provides the perfect opportunity for some adult conversation, or a coffee date while you browse before the kids play.
To use the service, children must be potty trained and be between the 37″ to 54″ in height. Bring the kids to the bathroom nearby before you visit Småland!
The types of activities include arts and crafts at an adorable stump table, balls for kicking and playing, a soft area for soft play and a classic car track. No Småland would be complete with the classic IKEA play kitchen for whipping up meatballs.
If your kids are like ours, and are often without socks, you’ll need to pack a pair to visit Smaland.
Smaland is available Monday to Friday 10am to 7pm, Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 5pm

Tip: While you’re there, snap a photo of the monthly calendar at IKEA. There are often pop-up special events happening for kids at Småland that you can take part in.
