Slottsskogen, West Coast, Sweden

4.5 (993 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in West Coast Zoos • Parks

Lovely day out with kids

Huge park on the outskirts of the city center. Parking (meter) available. Did not know what to expect. Absolutely huge, with large flat grass areas to relax, picnic or unwind, and forest areas. A free zoo in the middle allows you to see Gotland ponies, pingouins, sea lions, the famous moose and other Nordic animals. Very well done. There’s even a little petting zoo for children (closed at the moment due to corona). You can stop for an ice cream or waffle at a little cafe in the middle, or when you get to the end of the zoo there’s a much bigger restaurant that offers a lot more choices including savoury dishes. There’s also a great kids playground. Near the natural history museum.

not to be missed
This is so much more than just a city park, It is enormous, a true landscape experience with forest, meadows, running water, a small zoo. It is alive with families, couples, kids. Easy walking or lying in the grass, and with many spots to discover. We were there in the summer evening and everybody seemed happy.
