Lekleden
During summer, children and adults can follow “Lekleden,” which is a series of activities that gives amusing possibilities for playing and learning. At one moment you are standing at the children’s power plant, controlling the great water-wheel. At the next, you’re sitting on the inspection trolley of The Children’s railroad, where you become the locomotive which pulls the wagon. Try your luck as captain on the steamboat, make cheese in the dairy or float timber down the river. Follow the trail into the world of play!The children’s driving school
The children’s driving school is part of the petrol station 1956. It is open to children aged 6 to 12, and applications are made in the kiosk. Against a small fee (50 SEK), the children can attend a theory lesson to learn the basic rules and signs of traffic. Then they are ready to practise, in pedal cars from the 1950s! As a proof of having passed the Jamtli driving school test, the young drivers receive their very own driver’s licence.
The Children’s railway
Jump aboard the engine, shovel coal and set off on a journey of make-believe by rail! There is also a working inspection trolley which children can pedal on an exiting journey through points, loading platforms and turntables.
Milkoland and the Children’s dairy
Think of the range of things one can do with milk!In the Children’s dairy, you can become a dairy manager and see what a dairy was like a hundred years ago. Apart from stirring the boiling cheese and packing cheese, you have to chase the big rat that is making a mess in the stockroom. You even get to look after the steam boiler and the steam engine that make the separator start. What’s a separator, anyway?
The children’s power plant and log rafting
Heavy logs are to be rafted from one lake to the other. You have to loosen the timber that gets stuck in the flume and along the waterfronts. Be careful not to fall in! In the children’s power plant, water is turned into electricity. As station-master, you have to economise with the water, but at the same time make sure that people have the electricity they need for lamps and machines. What happens if you run out of water and the waterwheel stops?
The steamer Lill-Thomée
All aboard! Tuut!At Jamtli’s own steamer Lill-Thomée, you’re the captain. You have to look out for stones and other obstacles in the water. The goods you carry must be unloaded at the next jetty, and new goods must be brought aboard. With a bit of luck, you may be able to get close to that silvery thing that is floating in the water…
