Reviews of Skansen

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

How cozy any time, both summer and winter. There are not many zoos that you can be on all year round. There is so much to see and do. Go around and check on all animals, do different crafts, Christmas market and even the usual market in the summer. There is really a bit of each, and much as you might not really or do otherwise.

Something that is more or less obligatory is to visit the bakery at Skansen, only a bit from when you come up from the escalator, it is the world's better pastries. Freshly baked and well baked. Would recommend that you buy at least 3 pieces per person, to take home some.... But if you get as crazy in the pastries as me so is one of them already eaten in the stairs Påväg down from the bakery. My favorite is the bull with Blåbärskräm. Only the bakery itself gives me 5 stars.

I Am the only one who thinks that Skansen is the dullest and most overrated place. Tourist trap, I think. One err around, and err and err.
Animals..... Pigs and lambs, asså man, have you never been to the land? These animals are practically like pets, one needs to really draw to Skansen for it. The Other animals (the minimal) are hiding most of the time from what I guess annoying people like Ooooar and Aaahaar as if they seen Jesus reappearing.
Then after you paid the entry is added extra costs for everything, and I mean everything.

The Cool is that it is an open museum showing houses and history from 1870 to the middle of the 1900 century. But instead of enjoying it, you suffer when commercial exploitation has destroyed Skansen.
Christmas Market, Meeh, again fell.
Let me not even go into the Sing-Along at Skansen. * The sound of nails that scrapes against the blackboard * That STHLM even considers it as a pride (hiding the head in a pillow and dulled the screams)
And before you even go counter-
YES: I have been here with children, they get bored after 5 minutes or they get stuck in front of a goat for several hours and your time and patience are put at stake.
Children'S parties, HAH, expensive. Do you Want the excuse that the child in any case comes out in the fresh air, yes but Lord God, bring the family on a roadtrip a little outside Stockholm, put yourself in the nature and to really enjoy and get fresh air and quality time. Skansen is NOT outdoor day, do not try, you are just lazy and stools do not take you further than a few steps away from the nearest espresso house or Mac Donalds.
YES: Have been here to show visiting tourists what Stockholm has to offer. A hysteria of tourist traps.
NO: You will never convince me that Skansen is worth visiting.

One cannot help but to love the Redoubt!
Whether you come here in the winter in the beautiful Christmas market that takes you back to Sweden in the 18th-19th century or at the spring/summer when all animals are born and Sing kicks off.
I've been at Skansen, with both boyfriend, brother, friend, Grandma, and there are always a lot of fun to bitter and watch.
Super nice activity that does not cost the Earth!

Skansen is so hard to score correct, or even write something about. It is so big and you are there for so different reasons. Perhaps that is why I give such a good rating, because there is always something to do – for everyone.

I've been there at weddings among other things. The couple was ordained in Seglora church and it was really a nice place for weddings. Furthermore, I have been walking around and peeking at the animals and visited the Skansen Aquarium – displaced a Sunday simply. I have also been there on Christmas market and there are few things that will be cozier than to sit and drink mulled wine and eat burned almonds among the old settlements.

Skansen is of course to visit a few times every year!

Zoo and Swedish history in the middle of town. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

There will not be a visit to Skansen all too often, but once you are there you are grateful that there is such a place in Stockholm. A great haven where animals get to live well, you can go around for a long time, eat food in different places and enjoy nature and history. Nice in summer time but also during Christmas when they have Christmas market! I have also spent every 17th of May here (Norway's National Day) which is traditionally celebrated on solid.

Blir varm i kroppen när jag drömmer mig tillbaka till en tid Lasse stod på den här scenen. Alla regniga hemmakvällar under sommarlovet som präglades av han silkeslena stämma. Hur kan man kalla sig stockholmare och samtidigt tala illa om skansen? Va!?

Alla djur som bor här är inspärrade mot sin vilja och måste känna sig som skit, men vad gör det när dansbandet börjar spela och hela Sverige sjunger ''Stockholm i mitt hjärta''?

Kanske landets tråkigaste Zoo, men vad gör det när Robert Gustafsson imiterar någon för femtielfte gången och ALLA skrattar?

Vad skulle vi göra utan denna institution uppe på kullen?

Embarrassed that I haven't written about the Redoubt but it's so easy to just focus on the new without remembering the classic and always been there.

Skansen is great to visit all year round. The Christmas market is obviously best when it is a white blanket of snow on the ground, and perhaps it has become a bit too relaxing and it is expensive but it is just to bite the bullet, it's only Christmas once a year.

Around midsummer you can test on the classic to dance around our own phallus-symbol to get fertility in soils, well worth a visit especially if you have guests visiting but also if you don't have anywhere to go but would like to have traditions.

Easter at Skansen means crafts, games and activities for young and old and should clearly be visited if you are left in town and not flown away on the broom.

To get Swedish history in one place including old buildings and to test the old, long-forgotten activities is really exciting.

Do you have children that want to see the animals but you hate the congestion is a good idea to be there on new year's day, midsummer day, or other days when we Swedes are resting after a hearty feast. A close friend of mine always do so and it feels luxurious to have the whole Redoubt for himself.

Another tradition is to stop using the pacifier and then leave the keys to the kittens at Skansen. Now gather the probably just in a large container and discarded because x number of children leave their pacifiers here. Don't miss the spring with all new animal babies. So amazingly cute.

It's not cheap but a year card already pays off after a couple of visits. Warning for long queues so think smart and don't want to be a part of "Allsång på Skansen select another day.

Skansen är ett riktmärke för Stockholm och det är fantastiskt. Har djur, kultur och restauranger. Jättebra för barn familjen. Tänk bara på att det är väldigt backigt och små barn tröttnar lätt på att gå då det är så stort område. Finns barnvagnar att låna. Sedan är det dyrt att köpa mat där så ta gärna med pick-nick mackor.
