Child-friendly activities in Skåne
Skåne is a paradise for families with children with its mild climate and huge range of activities. Whether you're looking for fast-paced water parks, historic Viking villages or cozy zoos, there's plenty to do in Skåne with children! Here we have collected the best tips that are appreciated by young and old for a successful vacation.
Water games and carousels at Tosselilla
When the summer heat hits, Tosselilla Sommarland outside Tomelilla is a must. It is Skåne's largest amusement park and offers a full day filled with laughter. Here, children can throw themselves down the water slides in the large water park, ride carousels and drive go-karts. There's also a funfair and mini golf on site. It's a place where the energy flows and the hours fly by. For families who want a mix of swimming and play in one place, Tosselilla is an unbeatable summer destination.
Animals and nature up close
For families who love animals, Skånes Djurpark in the middle of Skåne (Höör) is a given excursion. Here you will meet Nordic animals such as bears, wolves and moose in large enclosures, as well as the popular Shaun the Sheep land. If you want a slightly calmer and wallet-friendly experience, Ängelholm's Hembygdspark is recommended. Here you'll find a large playground, a high ropes course in Pytteskogen and the opportunity to watch goats, deer and birds for free. It is a green oasis perfect for picnics and play in a relaxed environment.
Culture, history and adventure
Learning about history doesn't have to be boring! At Foteviken Museum in Höllviken you step right into a living Viking village. Children can meet Vikings, try out crafts and learn about life in the Viking Age. Would you rather experience the world of fairy tales? At Funnys Äventyr in Malmö, children can play in environments from famous children's books such as Pettson & Findus and Moomintroll. In beautiful Kivik in Österlen, you can visit Äpplets Hus, play in the gardens and discover the famous market if you time it right.
Sun and swimming along the coast
Skåne is often called the Swedish Riviera thanks to its fantastic beaches! Along the coasts you will find white sandy beaches such as Sandhammaren and Rörum beach, which are reminiscent of more southern latitudes. For those who prefer lake bathing, the bathing areas at Rönneå and Vasasjön are close at hand if you start from Klippan. Swimming is one of the easiest and most appreciated things when looking for what to do in Skåne with children.
Exciting science for rainy days
If the weather fails, there are exciting indoor activities. The Vattenhallen Science Center in Lund lets children experiment and discover science in a playful way. Malmö Museer offers everything from an aquarium to real submarines and airplanes at Teknikens och Sjöfartens hus. These are educational excursions that entertain curious minds of all ages.
