- scvroseFiddletown, CA1,296 contributionsA wonderful park with different gardens and a Palm Conservatory. There are three main rose gardens. The Rose park as you enter the main entrance which highlights old garden roses, the Rose Oval near the cafe with a large collection of modern roses, and the Species Garden. There are over 1200 varieties of roses here. Worth a visit!Written August 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RDH1974Coventry, UK110 contributionsWell worth a visit.
Good rides and reasonable prices.
Annual passes are available for longer visiting tourists.
Food is ok on the whole.Written September 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Urška KMaribor, Slovenia51 contributionsWe visited Styrsö, Donsö and Vrångö. We took tram 11 from the city centre to Saltholmen. It took about 20-30 minutes and the ride was lovely. You get to see some nice neighbourhoods.
We took the boat to Styrsö Tången and walked to Donsö.
Also went to Stora Rös on Styrsö where you can see the view of the archipelago. From Donsö we took the boat to Vrångö and from here back to the city centre (Stenpiren).
We visited end of October and a café on Styrsö was open, but the restaurant on Vrångö was closed. It was calm and so lovely. Loved watching all the locals on their golf carts and the old architecture. My favourite thing from this trip and if I had an extra day I would also visit some other islands or the north archipelago.Written November 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a great place to take a Swedish "Fika" (a coffee break). Try to go when it's not as crowded as on a weekend.Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LaurenNottingham, UK1,703 contributionsLovely cafe at the entrance with good food for breakfast, massive park with beautiful scenery, we saw penguins, seals, elk, pigs, deer all in open spaces. There is also a lovely restaurant on the water, where we stopped for lunch and a drink with amazing views. Definitely worth a visitWritten October 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nilslysengOslo, Norway141 contributionsWe went here after being recommend to do so. As we have a small child who likes animals and nature in general.
This was an expensive one. The tickets are steep in prices, even with the kid going in for free. So as two adults it was over 600 SEK just to enter.
The good thing is how things are presented. The educational aspect is supreme. The child gets a taste of the jungle. See the apes and other creatures, which are far from Scandinavia. Also, see all sorts of sea creatures, big fishes and even sharks. The joy in the eye of the child is priceless.
We enjoyed our stay. Tired in our legs after all of the steps. Lots of steps, up and down. Easy to spend two hours in a blink of an eye here.
Pro tip: use elevator when you can to save your legs. It's a tiring trip all around anyway.Written July 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was an enormous display of exotic palms from around the world, with the room lined wall to wall with greenery. All the plants were labeled with names and locations, which was helpful. It put into perspective how extensive the collection was.
On the left side of the central greenhouse was another filled with succulents and cacti. Many of these specimens were very unique to this location, as I had never seen probably 20 of the species. This served as a great research location if you're into exotic plant collecting.
The greenhouses on the right side were temporarily closed, which was unfortunate. Additionally, they were doing work on parts of the greenhouse, so it was sometimes a little loud and didn't smell great. But, that work was isolated, so it was easy to avoid it.
Entrance was free, which is always a good thing.Written December 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Howard-LiverpoolLiverpool, UK3,368 contributionsAn excellent museum / gallery for those who enjoyed the current exhibition. In my case it wasnt for me however that doesnt mean it is poor - The gallery is brilliant for the right people. I prefer more modern. Def worth a visit whatever.Written July 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adventure DivaManchester, CT2,780 contributionsThe street sign says "Feskekyrkan" in proper Swedish but you can't miss this Gothic fish market. It must have been quite a site back in the day. Now it is a modern food hall still having remnants of the past. From several new bars to take out options to a couple of new restaurants, it is a great food hub. Loved the energy of this place.Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adventure DivaManchester, CT2,780 contributionsThis historic Fortress has been used as a prison and museum back in the day. From the hill you can see for miles.

- Adventure DivaManchester, CT2,780 contributionsYou can check out everything from a dinosaur skeleton to insects, birds, butterflies and ancient fossils. The mounted Malm whale room next to its mounted skeleton was the real reason I wanted to visit. To think visitors have the opportunity to see a life size whale was fascinating.Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
