Amusement Park

Gröna Lund

A waterfront amusement park in central Stockholm, founded in 1883, where the gentlest rides sit close together and a measuring station saves you a height check at every queue.

Getting there
Bus, tram and boat stops are a stone's throw from the main entrance, and the stops are raised and wheelchair-adapted.
OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

Gröna Lund is laid out as a Small Area and a Large Area, and the shortcut between them is a flight of steep steps — with a stroller or a wheelchair you go round via the Main Entrance or the Tyrol Entrance instead, which costs you a few minutes each time you swap sides. Everyone passes metal detectors and a security check on the way in, strollers and wheelchairs included, so allow for that at the gate. Your own food is welcome inside, along with drinks in plastic bottles and a thermos; glass stays outside, with baby food jars as the stated exception. Restaurants take drop-in guests only in the middle of the day. Medics are on duty whenever the park is open, in the sjukstuga to the left of Stora Scen, and there are calmer corners at Classic café and the jetty below the Boardwalk, with ear defenders for children and adults sold in the Coke store.

Why kids will love it

Small children get a proper share of this park rather than a fenced-off corner of it. The Tuff-Tuff train, the ladybird coaster Nyckelpigan and the Tekopparna teacups all run with a grown-up sitting alongside, the veteran cars and the circus carousel take any size of rider, and Pettson och Findus värld is a walk-through world built for the age that finds the big coasters too loud. Measure once at the station by Pettson & Findus, take the wristband, and the rest of the day is about choosing rides instead of proving heights.
