Interesting place. Didn't have the time to visit all the park as arrived late, however I really loved the farms area and open zoo area.I was especially impressed how some animals are allowed to roam about freely even between zones (only the safe ones). Due to this you get to see a certain level of animal communities and how some roam around and interact with other animals. Really suggest giving this place a visit, especially this area.
Worth a stop in any season if you have some extra time on your hands and looking for a fun place to spend a few hours. The rides for kids were closed on the breezy autumn weekday when we visited but there was still plenty to see. There are animal enclosures and quaint little houses in traditional Swedish styles. It's also just a nice park to stroll through with great views over the city. We found only one place to eat near the animal enclosures, they served tasty burgers and a few sides like fries at a very decent price. Free with the Stockholm pass and easily accessible by public transport :)
Wonderful open air museum. Lots of old buildings have been relocated here from across Sweden. Employees are "living history" participants and are happy to talk to you about their area. Every sign is in English as well as Swedish, and the employees all (that we encountered at least) speak English. There is also a zoo and aquarium, though we did not explore them. You can easily spend all day here.
If you have a small child but not a ton of time, a two day pass ia also an option. There is a schedule of the days events such as seal feeding at the main entrance. Strollers are available for rent. Pretty gardens and animals for the kids to enjoy. Not all buildings were open but it was nice to enjoy from the outside. The park was too big anyways to try and see the interior of all the buildings. Nice eating area outside of the Children's zoo with peacocks roaming. You can pack a picnic or buy. I went in September and it was nice to not fight the crowd.
We loved this place, and we almost missed it! We only entered because it was included on the Stockholm pass, but it wasn't in our plans. The park is a nice place to spend an afternoon (or a whole day!) walking around enjoying the nature, the old houses and the small shops and food stands. I was a bit worried about it having a zoo inside , but i was happy to see that the animals seemed well taken care of, with big spaces and that most of them were local. We enjoyed the afternoon there and wouldn't mind going again next time !
