We had just a few hours so sadly didn't get to enjoy this great place to its full potential. Would definitely recommend allowing four hours to stroll through this fascinating place with lots to see and do. Some very stunning views of stockholm too!

A little bit old theme park, only the animal is value for visit. I would suggest you to spend the time on animal part only.

It is not a museum, but a theme park, you can spend there a whole day. Swedish homes and farms are very interesting, and children can play with baby animals (or play baby animals as well) in little zoo

Skansen was holding its own celebration and was open late that night. So I didn't get a chance to see the park with the buildings open.... More

I spent an entire week enjoying Skansen on Djurgarten Island. I am a photographer of historic architecture in Stockholm for two months. The history and importance of Skansen, with homes, churches, windmills, shops, and workshops with demonstrators, farmsteads, and even wild and historic, reborn farm animals was very, very exciting for me. Skansen was the first outdoor museum of its... More

Nice walk around, see some interesting item off Swedens history. Small animal park but sufficient, guided tour closes already at 16:00 hours
