    The feeling of going back in time was real for me,my kids loved the animals and the children's play area was fun.The portions of served at that restaurant were worth every penny.A child potion was enough for an adult, Price ranged from 88Kr to 168kr.However we only ordered children's portions and they were more than satisfying. We spent less than anticipated. And the fries are to die for.

    Very good place for kids. A variety of little animals, good interactive games, amazing decor. It has a playground just outside and a "burrow" for kid to see the rabits. Good bathrooms and facilities. Also an cool snake slip :)

    Small skansen which has many small animals which you can see via glass . It is nice place for small children to enjoy animals. It is indoors and good place to visit during winter also. There are some cafe and few places where you can buy food and there are good amount of benches next to lilla skansen where you can enjoy lunch or snacks. All Nordic and other animals are very near by. Good place to visit with children and enjoy family time

    No zoo and no real open-air museum. The skansen can't decide what he actually wants to be, which is evident from the fact that the aquarium costs extra. The terrain is hilly, so people with walking restrictions should take this into account. There are better open-air museums in örebro and other places, and there are also better zoos. Therefore 2 stars deducted. If you are in Stockholm with children you can spend a relaxing day here.

    Best place to spend time with children. My daughter loves this place.

  • 4/5 Idita Balks (. 2 years ago on Google • 42 reviews
    It was very nice. They are currently only allowing a limited number of people in. In some places it is still full. But it spreads well among animals. But it's totally worth going right now. There are baby animals. For example, there are 5 bear cubs. Also goslings or buffalo calves.

  • 5/5 Markus L. 8 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    A very nice day. There are always little things to complain about, such as the fact that you have to pay extra for the aquarium. But it's worth the money and the children were happy. We were there for 6 hours and we drove home with a really great feeling. We highly recommend it Anyway, keep going👍

  • 5/5 Ash C. 1 year ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Lovely place. I think it's better to visit in summer, but it wad also great in February. There are some events and some different species of animals outdoor. Indoors are a lot more animals like rats, lizards, spiders and monkeys. Great little zoo!

    I love wandering through the old building without caring where I go. Parts of it feel like you're out in a secluded village.

  • 4/5 Patricia Ström G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely but really crowded. Any way one can limit the amount of visitors in there? Perhaps get a pass for a certain time frame so there's not too many people at one time. It was kind of hard to ease through with a 1 year old.

  • 5/5 Jayson W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is where all the small children love to come and play! That s why it's worth to buy the year cards to Skansen if you plan to come here more than 2 times.

  • 5/5 Saabina G. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything a kid wants, playground, food place, shop with stuffed animals, a little zoo with rats, mice, snakes, fish, a small car ride where two children fit inside.

  • 5/5 Keith M. 4 years ago on Google
    We had lovely warm sunshine which you need for walking around skansen

  • 1/5 Ylva Hasselbom - M. 5 years ago on Google
    Animals should not be locked in! If it hadn’t been for Skansens presenting a zoo incl a terrarium m, but instead simply an educational park with the historical houses and much more from each state of Sweden along with the wonderful concerts ..it would have ranked as a Top 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5/5 Menno M. 5 years ago on Google
    Great depiction of Sweden before the industrial era. There are signs is Swedish and English everywhere with great information about Sweden in this time and actors dressed in authentic clothes who are also great sources of info. There's also a zoo with all sorts of Swedish wildlife which was really fun to visit. Overall great day!

    Nice place to visit with children s. Not many animals are in the park. Entertaining music which made the trip awesome. My kid loved the animals to watch. Had a small car ride for kids to enjoy. Peacock left free in public was wonderful.

    (Translated by Google) Have a feeling that Skansen was more well-managed earlier. But still worth a visit. Singing is nice. (Original) Har en känsla att Skansen var mer välskött förr. Men fortfarande värt ett besök. Allsång är ju trevligt.

  • 5/5 Marcus J. 4 years ago on Google
    We spent midisommer here and it was fun to dans (try to) around the midsommarstång and to make midsommar kransar. The park has a few animals and aktivities but its also nice to just come here and just relax

  • 4/5 Mikael S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice, but needs to be renewed in some places. The rides with coin toss that nobody even looks at should be removed and given room for new. Generally, rides feel like worn-out pre-war machines. Otherwise very nice and cozy. Always appreciated by the kids. (Original) Trevligt, men behöver förnyas på vissa ställen. Åkattraktionerna med myntinkast som ingen ens tittar på borde tas bort och ge plats för nytt. Generellt känns åkattraktionerna som slitna förkrigsmaskiner. Annars väldigt trevligt och mysigt. Alltid uppskattat av barnen.
