"It’s not just the real animals that attract people to Sweden’s largest zoo and wildlife park, located two hours’ drive southwest from Stockholm . Many Swedish children love to come because of Bamse’s World, an amusement park dedicated to a popular cartoon bear, Bamse, who is the world’s strongest bear due to his consumption of thunder-honey. There are real brown bears, too, at Kolmården, along with the big-name Nordic animals (moose, wolves, reindeer, etc.) and foreign visitors (elephants, giraffes, tigers, gorillas, and bottlenose dolphins in Scandinavia’s first dolphinarium), plus roller coasters and other rides."

"Day Trip to Kolmården Animal Park The closest thing Stockholm has to a full-scale zoo is quite impressive. Located 90 minutes' driving from the city, Kolmården Animal Park (Djurpark) is the largest in Scandinavia with about 750 wild attractions from all the jungles, savannas, and oceans of the world. What makes the park exciting, in addition to its wide array of wildlife, is that it opened the world’s first wildlife-park gondola. The gondola takes you high above the trees—think spectacular views of the bay and Baltic—as you cruise over, coming as close as possible to animals from around the world including lions, bears, wolves, elephants, and giraffes. Marine World offers up dolphin and seal shows, while you can get up close to Siberian tigers in Tiger World. For kids, there’s a storybook setting of Bamse’s World, and an adventure camp with Sweden’s largest slide and a petting zoo."

We had a wonderful time here at Kolmarden Zoo. Lots of extra experiences. We did the private giraffe 🦒 feeding. The roller coasters and rides was a big hit with the kids and adults 😎 Dolphin 🐬 show was great. Tigers 🐅 had cubs playing with mom and dad. Red panda, the list is long. Lots of fun was had by all . Enjoy 👌

We came here during Halloween and spent two full days. Although our child was too young to enter the haunted houses, there were many fun tunnel- and maze-like setups in the forest. The giant spider and dragon models were great, and the smoke and air effects really added to the atmosphere. We also took the cable car and saw some animals in the areas that weren’t open to the public — it was truly wonderful.

There is no other zoo that offers amazing, very well looked after animals, the worlds tallest wooden rollercoaster and during October, some fantastic Halloween scare mazes! It's an awesome place, very reasonably priced entry ticket (scare mazes Inc in price), stunning scenery, friendly staff & a great atmosphere. I'd recommend a visit if you're considering it

Definitely a really really good place just in the nowhere in a spectacular nature, and especially the ”safaribanan” was an amazing experience. Even during the halloween, it was not bad for the small toddlers since it was well organised for the ones who want thrill specifically. Consider purchasing yearly card!

Beautiful park with great attractions for kids, but not tourist-friendly The park has lots of different animals and shows — really great attractions for kids! The grounds are beautiful, clean, and well maintained, and the animals and shows are fantastic. Hope, the dolphin show, was amazing and definitely a highlight of our visit. However, I was quite disappointed that everything was only in Swedish — all the signs, guides, and maps. It was not easy to find the different locations, especially since the park is huge and the signs only show distances, not directions. There was no printed daily program available either. They said you could find it online, but what if you’re a tourist or don’t have internet access? Even when we did check online, it was not clear what times the shows were or what to expect. Overall, it’s a beautiful park and worth visiting, but I really hope they make it more accessible for international visitors in the future.

A very beautiful garden and the majority of animals have good space, but not all. I recommend bringing food from home as the places do not have good food. There are plenty of toilets that are very clean.

Review: MUST VISIT!!! This should be one of the top family destinations in the world. Top tips: if you don’t speak Swedish, make sure to have internet connection. Google Translate works well to translate in real time the verbal narration (use transcribe mode). I happened to visit a nearby town and decided to dedicate a day here. I have been to other zoos around the world and can say that this is hands down the best zoo ever (surpassing Disney Animal Kingdom in Orlando). I can summarize the positive experiences based on the following: 1) Very thoughtful park designs - it highlights the animals well and gives you the feeling that you are very close to the animals while still maintaining safe distance. Lots of seatings area and enjoyable for adults and children 2) Great variety of animals and clear purpose - the zoo has good amount of animals but relatively small compared to other conventional zoos (a good thing). This is because they focus on near-endangered or endangered animals with aim to raise awareness 3) Lots of shows throughout the day and great to be combined with park visits. The Wildfire roller coaster is also a surprisingly thrilling and enjoyable ride. The ride is much smoother than a similar experience in Universal Orlando. As noted by other reviews, verbal narration is only in Swedish, however Google Translate transcribe feature works really well and helped me (I don’t speak any Swedish). Lots of food / drinks at reasonable prices, washroom, seats, shades, access to public transport etc. Took about 15 minutes to get in the park - no stroller rental but free carts are available (kids are happy to sit there and carted around). Very large grounds, prepare for a long day if you want to see everything. Safari gondola is very unique and family friendly. Website is a bit confusing, the English site doesn’t show the schedule of the day - make sure to check the Swedish site and simply use Google Translate. The only thing I noticed is a lack of water fountain and there’s quite a bit of litter around (including random cardboard boxes in two of the habitat).
