Tulipop Playground Opens at KEF
A new play area for children, inspired by the magical world of Tulipop, has opened at Keflavík Airport (KEF). The play area is designed to make travel more fun for the airport’s youngest guests. The space encourages imagination and creativity through free play and is located by the Aðalstræti dining area on the second floor of the airport’s new east wing.
The project is a collaboration between Tulipop and the design studio ÞYKJÓ, with contributions from Krumma, Merking, Irma, and Fjöl. Nearby, travellers can also enjoy interactive iWall game from Finnish company CSE Entertainment, perfect for anyone wanting to stretch their legs and have some fun before a flight.
Founded in 2010 by Signý Kolbeinsdóttir and Helga Árnadóttir, Tulipop is beloved for its colourful fantasy world and diverse characters. The brand has produced a 52-episode animated TV series that has aired on Sjónvarp Símans and RÚV and in over 30 countries worldwide, including the UK, Italy, the Middle East, and China.
Bringing the Tulipop universe to Keflavík Airport is one of the most enjoyable projects we’ve done. We’re always looking for ways to enhance the travel experience, and we’re delighted to offer something special for children and their parents.

It’s been an incredibly exciting project to create a magical world for children at Keflavík Airport in collaboration with ÞYKJÓ. From the very beginning, Tulipop’s goal has been to create an enchanting world of wonder for younger generations and to share positive messages with both children and adults. We sincerely hope this will reach the airport’s youngest guests and that they will enjoy the play area for many years to come.
