There's a wide range of activities for all ages and groups at Sweden's oldest open-air museum and zoo, Skansen. Experience Sweden's cultural heritage, meet Nordic animals and take part in a wide range of events, such as concerts and craft fairs. 

Since Skansen was founded in 1891, visitors have been able to experience historic houses and buildings, gardens, customs and traditions in the open-air museum, as well as meet Nordic animals such as bears, wolves and moose in the zoo. Skansen puts on numerous events and performances such as concerts, dance evenings, craft days and markets all year round. They also have wide range of activities for companies as well as for friends, families and other groups and occasions, such as stag and hen parties. 

If you want to get the most out of Skansen, you can enjoy a full day here. You can also rent the famous Solliden stage for private concerts, parties and meetings with spectacular views of Stockholm, or experience a folk park evening on the historic Galejan bandstand, with live music and a carousel. Or why not check out the aquariums with colleagues, or attend a show about Sweden's history. 

For more of a teambuilding activity, try Äventyr Skansen, which is rather like an escape room but revolving around Skansen's history, where participants have to solve riddles by collecting clues and solutions around Skansen. The game is suitable for all ages, and it's a great way to get to know each other and your own strengths.

How cozy any time, both summer and winter. There are not many zoos that you can be on all year round. There is so much to see and do. Go around and check on all animals, do different crafts, Christmas market and even the usual market in the summer. There is really a bit of each, and much as you migh...

Skansen är alltid ett säkert kort för stor som liten. Så värt att köpa årskort då det är liten prisskillnad från engångsentré och då det finns aktiviteter året om. Vid mitt senaste besök åt jag en otippat god t...

I Am the only one who thinks that Skansen is the dullest and most overrated place. Tourist trap, I think. One err around, and err and err.
Animals..... Pigs and lambs, asså man, have you never been to the land? These animals are practically like pets, one needs to really draw to Skansen fo...

One cannot help but to love the Redoubt!
Whether you come here in the winter in the beautiful Christmas market that takes you back to Sweden in the 18th-19th century or at the spring/summer when all animals are born and Sing kicks off.
I've been at Skansen, with both boyfriend, brother,...

Skansen is so hard to score correct, or even write something about. It is so big and you are there for so different reasons. Perhaps that is why I give such a good rating, because there is always something to do – for everyone.

I've been there at weddings among other things. The...

There will not be a visit to Skansen all too often, but once you are there you are grateful that there is such a place in Stockholm. A great haven where animals get to live well, you can go around for a long time, eat food in different places and enjoy nature and history. Nice in summer time but als...

Embarrassed that I haven't written about the Redoubt but it's so easy to just focus on the new without remembering the classic and always been there.

Skansen is great to visit all year round. The Christmas market is obviously best when it is a white blanket of snow on the ground,...

Blir varm i kroppen när jag drömmer mig tillbaka till en tid Lasse stod på den här scenen. Alla regniga hemmakvällar under sommarlovet som präglades av han silkeslena stämma. Hur kan man kalla sig stockholmare och samtidigt tala illa om skansen? Va!?

Waiting for summer to visit you again !!!!

Alltid lika trevligt att gå på skansen, älskar julmarknaden!

É um lugar incrivel.

Skansen är ett riktmärke för Stockholm och det är fantastiskt. Har djur, kultur och restauranger. Jättebra för barn familjen. Tänk bara på att det är väldigt backigt och små barn tröttnar lätt på att gå då det ä...
