It is a bit sad that when one chooses to go there a little bit of season, this results in them quite a few activities being closed or not as active as they would be during the summer months. This should be mentioned in the advertising or the ticket price should be reduced.

Perfect

I wasn’t quite sure was to expect . It felt like you step back in time , it was great to get some information about Swedish history, having conversations with the people who work there . All in all it was just perfect and a must if you wanna learn something about Sweden and the culture .

Our visit to the Skansen was satisfying. It is one of the most recommended attractions to enter in Stockholm. There were huge areas to walk around with various type of animals etc. However it will be freezing during Christmas as the museum is mostly outdoor so please wear more when visiting. Overall good experience despite of expensive food and drinks sold inside the museum.
