We were on a cruise that docked in Stockholm. Look out from the balcony and saw the drop towers and…read moreroller coasters. Almost in the middle of Stockholm! Had no plans for the day except to wander around the city. Looked up the park and decided to go. It was a 10-minute water taxi from the cruise pier. Stood in the admission line for about 10 minutes until they opened. It was like a step back in time for an American. Everything about the place was family oriented but also had great rides for adults. The face down drop tower was incredible. In fact, all 4 of the drop towers were great. They have an old wooden roller coaster that's fast and intense. Haunted house ride was fun and worth a couple of trips through. Good variety of food, including vegetarian and vegan, available at reasonable prices. A hidden beer garden on top and of a restaurant, while also being under a steel coaster. Fantastic day at the park. It's part of the Tivoli group of parks including Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Well worth a day visit.

Awesome! Had a great day here. The longest I waited for a ride was 20 minutes. Everything there…read morefelt safe and well made. If you love thrill rides, this is a great place for you!

What an awesome time here!!! If you are ever in Stockholm this is a must for sure. It may not seem…read morelike much but imagine a zoo and theme park all built into one. Not that you'll find crazy rides but there's entertainment for kids with some rides, plus not to mention the lounging areas, the animals, and so much more. Came here walking from our hotel , you can catch a bus, and it was just beautiful. I highly recommend a visit. This can be an almost all day thing or just come for a few hours like we didn't.

We walked over to Skansen after the Vasa Museum. The weather was quite nice and sunny which was…read moreperfect to enjoy this outdoor museum. After entering we decided to walk the path up to the park instead of buying a ticket for the funicular. It took roughly 10 minutes on a slight incline. Skansen was huge and does take time to go from place to place. Initially we wandered from building to building and many were not staffed or only viewable from the outside. While it was interesting to read the posted signs it wasn't too interesting. At the Oktorp farmstead, we finally found the first staffed location and got to see and learn about dying of yarn. Here we also learned which buildings were staffed and from that point forward gave us a plan of how to tackle Skansen and made the visit much more enjoyable. We had a great conversation about politics in the People's House which was very appropriate and compared it against present day in both our countries. Many parallels. We learned more about typical farm life in the Skane Farmstead while stooping low inside the house and that led to the Delsbo Farmstead. Delsbo was quite the opposite as it was ornately decorated with detailed wall paintings paid for by the well to do family per the staff. I highly encourage anyone visiting to engage with the staff as they were very enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge of the period or activities that went on in that particular farmstead, building, church, etc. We skipped seeing all the animals they kept towards the back of Skansen as well as the aquarium. Overall spent over 2 hours here and likely could've spent more if more buildings were staffed and open. Glad the weather held throughout our visit.

Overall a solid choice to keep the kids occupied for a few hours. Multiple play areas in the museum. Purchase tickets online- cheaper

Loved walking over the bridge (and of course under) watch out tho, we noticed that it does get a little slippery with the gravel on it. We were suppose to buy an ice cream but when we came up to the cafe no one was there. Then my kids started fighting so we left. haha. If you find yourself on the south side with kids then try this nice playground. I can't say much about the history because I didn't have time to read the sign. Next time tho, cause I'm sure it'll be a next time.
