Slottsskogens Djurpark

Slottsskogen Djurpark is a free-admission wildlife park set within Slottsskogen, one of Gothenburg's largest and most beloved urban parks in western Sweden. Home to Sweden's oldest zoo, the park offers year-round wildlife encounters including a colony of 34 penguins participating in an international breeding programme for endangered species. Families can enjoy pony rides, a children's zoo featuring domestic animals such as goats, sheep, and rabbits, and hands-on petting areas. The park is enriched by ongoing conservation and research projects, including a bat study conducted in partnership with the University of Gothenburg, aquatic habitat restoration, and improved wildlife spaces throughout the grounds. Picnic areas, walking trails, and playgrounds make Slottsskogen Djurpark an ideal all-day outing for families. Its central city location, combined with free entry and a genuine commitment to education and conservation, makes it one of Gothenburg's most cherished attractions.
