The most interesting thing about the place was the animals. After a lot of hard work we managed to spot the Wolverine which was curled up under a pile of logs! Wolves and bears were amazing to see. Reindeer and elk very cute. The place was packed with families and I think it was best suited to those with kids.... more

If I could do it again, I would skip this stop, particularly "out of season." We went on April 30, the last day before it really opened up. Consequently, we just walked from closed building to closed building, read the signs, tried to look through cracks in the door, and moved on. However, I don't feel that if the buildings... more

we were late getting to Skansen but we managed to see the excellent collection of buildings. Our card included the visit to aquarium and monkey exhibit. Most noteable were the Lemurs who were all standing up. We ate at the restaurant which has grt view of Stockholm . The food was reasonable but we had to quickly see the buildings... more

We enjoyed animals, in particular wolves and bears.We even met a free squirrel getting ready food for winter. Unhappily only one house was opened, we just look at others from the... more

This review is almost a year late, but better late than never. We went to Skansen December of last year, and the place was bedecked for Christmas. I imagine Skansen would be beautiful anytime of the year, but during Christmas, it becomes especially magical. The old-style homes are decorated as they were decorated in the past during Christmas, and the... more

I visited Skansen earlier this week and I have to say it was great fun. We expected only to stay for an hour or two (being adults) but there is so much to see and do we stayed for hours. The zoo is good, the Sami bit is so interesting, and all the staff were brilliant, they really give you... more

My husband and I went to Skansen during our recent trip to Stockholm largely because the Rough Guide to Sweden said such nice things about it. They weren't wrong - the place is full of interesting sights and has an old world charm. People are dressed in period costume and are so friendly - very happy to talk to you... more

What a great place this is!! It exceeded our expectations. THe people working there are very informative and incredibly helpful. THe animals are great and you get to be right up close. THe aquarium inside is definately worth a visit--where else do you get to walk into a ring-tailed lemur cage?? We had the Stockholm card for the day and... more

One thing I found was that the views from Skansen are unbelievable! Great views of Sodermalm, and the City. Go around sunset if you don't have much time and just see the views! more
