5.0 Naturguide Tiveden (133 reviews)
- Amazing moose safari experience
Nature & Wildlife Tours

David is very funny, knowledgeable and native to the woods and its sorounding. He was able to engage a large and diverse group and bring it together with fascinating facts and stories about moose and the woods. Even our teens were drawn to the activity. It was a great opportunity to meet people from different countries. The fire was great fun and the food was excellent. Riding through woods we saw moose as well as many other wild animals such as deer, fox, rabbits and more. It was exciting. Seeing a moose cow with its calf was the peak of the evening. David was also very accommodating and allowed us to join the group even though we scheduled last minute. We highly recommend this safari! See more..

4.5 Boda Borg - Karlskoga (77 reviews)
- Fantastic!
Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Game & Entertainment Centers

I live close to half an hour from Karlskoga so I’ve been here about once a year since I was 10. It never gets boring. Boda Borg is an excellent place for friends, family and companies to spend their entire day in. The quests are interesting, well thought out and genuinely unique and I always have such a good time at Boda Borg when I get here. Once a year isn’t enough! The level of the quests are very different so there’s something for everyone. Keep in mind that you have to be at least three people per team to be able to do the quests. They’re not too easy and not too hard, and insanely entertaining to be in. I would warmly recommend Boda Borg for everyone, you won’t regret paying this a visit! See more..

- Ibland är det positivt...
Castles

...coronaanpassning. I detta fall fick vi en egen guidning med bara fyra personer mot normalt 20-25 personer. Detta innebar att vi såg och hörde bra och hade möjlighet att prata mycket med guiden.
Av någon outgrundlig anledning var det inte tillåtet att fotografera även utan blixt.
Vid slottet finns också ett litet vagnsmuseum med ett 10-tal objekt. See more..

4.0 Lost City - Gustavsvik (489 reviews)
- Great fun day
Friday: 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Water Parks • Playgrounds

Due to our stay at good morning hotel which located 50 meter away from the entrance, we have very pleasant time to wait for the queue to buy the ticket. The queue started around 9:15, see the pictures that I took with time stamped. We chooses to come on Tuesday with hope that it’s not much people. The hotel has a package with 2 adults 2 kids, and the line is much shorter. Förköp , pre-buying queue is on the left. Buying ticket is on the right side. 7 sliders, the lost city theme make me and my 9 years old thrilled. Food is excellent and if the choices are not satisfied, you can bring your picnic bag. The only disappointment is the changing rooms, with limited shower slot and slow dripping shower. Otherwise, amazing place to visit, must do with kids and teenage if you are/pass Örebro. See more..
