Summer break at Skansen

Try old-fashioned games from when your grandmother’s mother and grandfather were young! You can play at the Hazelius meadow all summer long, so why not challenge a friend or the whole family?

There is always something to do on the farm – both useful and fun, for young and old. Come by the Skåne Farmstead and help with the chores of farm life in the early 1900s.

At the Finn Settlement most things were produced by hand. Here you can try out how to make new yarn out of old woolen textiles.

Are you curious about what it’s like to work at a modern zoo? Or would you like to learn more about the animals? Attend one of Skansen’s animal talks this summer and ask the animal keeper all your questions!

Explore the hedgehog’s habitat, identify crucial plant hosts and learn more about bird cages. The nature trail between Skåne Farmstead and Väla School educates our visitors on wildlife, nature and biological diversity.

Challenge the whole family! Play bingo by solving the tasks listed on the bingo tile. Bingo cards can be found in the upper escalator hallway.

The Children’s Zoo features large outdoor and indoor playgrounds. The snake slide and a large no-touch-the-ground track are some of the attractions featured here.

Ekorrparken is Skansen’s largest playground, featuring a tree house and climbing frames for slightly older children.

Päronparken is a quite tranquil and peaceful playground. There are rope sheep, lovely warm eggs and mushrooms to jump on.

Experience the most charming carnival area ever, featuring old-fashioned carousels, lottery, dance floor and cafes. There is something for everyone, regardless of age.

Go beneath the surface to learn about the species that live there, and participate in important exhibits on the Baltic Sea and the environment. In our aquariums, you may see underwater environments that range from coastal archipelagos to open sea.

The Skansen aquarium is home to a variety of animals, including monkeys, fish and crocodiles, as well as scorpions, parrots and frogs. Welcome to a fascinating and exotic part of Skansen.
