Morning with the animals

Experience a unique morning with the animals before the park opens to other visitors. Join our zookeepers during the animals' morning routines and get an inside look at how Skansen works with animal welfare and species conservation.

  • Our popular experience, “Morning with the Animals,” is perfect for all ages! Book it as a birthday gift, celebrate your birthday, or why not your wedding anniversary, surrounded by Skansen’s wild animals.

    During your tour, the zookeeper will also feed one of the following animals: seal, great grey owl, otter, wolverine, or bear. As the animals live in naturalistic environments with irregular feeding schedules, we cannot guarantee a specific animal.


    Reviews from our guests:

    “We had an amazing morning visiting several different animals and truly got to meet them through play, feeding, and enrichment activities. The day exceeded our expectations!” (2 adults + 2 children (family), 2024-09-24)

    “We loved visiting the park early in the morning and having the place almost to ourselves! The zookeepers were incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly, answering all our questions. The visit exceeded our expectations, and we still talk about it from time to time and look at the photos! We plan to make it an annual tradition!” (2 adults, 2023-10-13)
