When you visit Skansen, which sits on the beautiful island of Djurgården, you can escape the confines of 21st-century life and explore a simpler life. As you step through the gates, you’re transported to pre-industrial Sweden, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by around 150 houses and farmsteads from every part of the country.
The world changed rapidly in the 19th-century and many feared that traditional live would disappear. That is why Skansen was created in 1891, to preserve traditional customs and occupations. At this unique museum in Stockholm, you can still see how the Swedes once lived according to the changing seasons and learn about the customs and traditions, work, celebrations and everyday life of times gone by. You can visit traditional crafts workshops like butter-churning, weaving, shoe making and glassblowing.
As the place where Swedish traditions are maintained, Skansen is also the place where traditional festive occasions are celebrated by many who live in Stockholm, including the Royal Family. For Easter, Midsummer, Lucia, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and all other Swedish holidays, people come here to celebrate.

Absolutely amazing place, a must for Stockholm. A wide range of activities from visiting and seeing how people lived, cooked, animals, gardens, food, views, zoo, aquarium, feeding animals. We came two times and stood 4 and 5 hours respectively. We do not think the 1-2 hour visit suggestion is realistic unless you chose something to see only.

Skansen is no doubt best visited in the warmer months when all the attractions and eateries are open. But even on a cold wet day in October it was still a pleasure to walk around this open air museum and zoo. And the upside in visiting at this time, is the riot of autumn colour which looks so beautiful set against the historic buildings and city backdrop. Most of the buildings (which include workshops, homes and shops) are original and each has a sign board out front explaining where it originated and how it fits into Swedish social history. We enjoyed seeing animals native to Sweden including brown bears, reindeer, a lynx and wolverine. The tea shop we visited was charming and the gift shop was great.

I have been to Skansen in the end of October and it was amazing. The area of the Skansen is enormous, so if you are going to visit it, be prepared to spend there at leats 2-3 hours. Skansen also has a great ZOO. Atmophere there in October is just special.

I didn't research this before heading in. I think i was in the off season because some things inside were not open etc. Pleasantly surprised to have nordic animals/zoo inside. Wished i came a week later for winter lights or earlier in season to see all of the things open.

We were with 4 adults and had a great day. We learned a lot about how people in Sweden lived in the 17th & 18th century. It was very pleasant to walk around the meandering paths and see the animals and there were well priced snacks/lunch like burgers and hot dogs and drinks like coffee, hot chocolate and warm wine. We had a really enjoyable day. And if you have kids you should definitely go. It was a kid’s heaven: animals, playgrounds and lots of space to run around.

We had a "City go" (tourist card) so we decided to go there, the staff was helpful, a lot of animals, a bit of history, but the only downside is that not everywhere in this place you can enter with "City Go" (you have to pay extra). After that, I recommend it to everyone ;)

Really loved it! Entry price very reasonable as there is so much to see and do! Perfect for kids, adults and everyone. There’s lots of animals, an aquarium and all of the old period houses, shops and more! It was so great to see, very informative too. The staff were also friendly and helpful too. We really had a brilliant day out and would definitely return soon! There’s lots for kids to do too. It’s quite hilly though, which was fine for us but maybe not for others.

You get a lot of experience for your SEK. No wonder the locals supported this long-established attraction when the pandemic threatened its viability. It incorporates rescued buildings showing Sweden's variety of mainly rustic architecture, plus local fauna - including bears which had a decent-sized stimulating environment - and also some living-history interactive experiences, such as a pottery, ironmongers and milk shop. Even saw red-squirrel which would be rare in England. All in all, a beloved local treasure and informative tourist attraction.

Such a great day at Skansen with so many different things to do and see! The botanical centre is really interactive and fun. There is an extra cost for the aquarium/exotic animals but was so worth it - take a walk amongst monkeys and see snakes and all sort of creatures. We even got to touch a snake and a tarantula! The rest of the park is stunning, where you can see more animals such as bears and lynxes. The village section is really interesting and immersive as well.

Skansen was pretty good. Easily reachable by tram or bus. It's also fairly close to the Vasa, Nordic, and Viking museums. The price of admission is decent. It was fun to walk around and see the old buildings and actors dressed up in period clothing. We had coffee and a snack at an old-style cafe on the grounds. It was also fun to see the area with the Nordic animals-reindeers etc. We just happened to be there at the time that a free tour was given in English of the house of the Tottit family, the richest merchant/family of that time. The tour was about 45 minutes, was very interesting and informative and worth the time. If you happen to be there when the tour is given, it is well worth it. this tour may have been the highlight of our visit to Skansen.
