Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingFor a quieter visit, choose a weekday morning, especially outside the summer high season; summer weekends and event evenings can be busier. Skansen generally opens at 10:00, with longer hours in summer, shorter hours in early autumn, and the shortest opening schedule on low-season weekdays.
EntranceUse the Main Entrance on Djurgårdsslätten 49 for the easiest public-transport arrival; tram 7 and bus 67 stop outside, and the entrance has a lift for wheelchairs and pushchairs, although steep paths and an escalator continue uphill. Entrance map: Main Entrance = front of Skansen facing Djurgårdsvägen; Hazelius Gate = Hazeliusporten 2 at the bottom of a steep hill, with a seasonal funicular; Solliden Entrance = Sollidsbacken 9 for taxis, mobility services and limited disabled parking. Entry fees must be paid when entering via Solliden, and Skansen’s entrances are cashless.
PriceThe official listing shown here is 35 EUR for "Bergbanan (Funicular) - uppfärd och nedfärd". Partner listings show 177.85 SEK for "Stockholm: The Skansen Aquarium Entry Ticket" and 244.54 SEK for "Stockholm: Skansen Open-Air Museum Admission Ticket"; because the products and currencies differ, check the final checkout total and inclusions before buying.
DiscountsChildren aged 0–15 enter Skansen free, but each child must have a complimentary ticket booked before the visit; add it when purchasing an adult, student or senior ticket, or arrange it at the entrance. Discounted admission is available for students and seniors, who should bring valid proof of eligibility. Children under 13 must visit Skansen with an adult. Asylum seekers can enter free by presenting an LMA card or a UT card showing protection status for mass displacement.

Planning your visit

Skansen is the world's oldest open-air museum and a living history museum founded by Artur Hazelius in 1891 on Djurgården. Its 190 historic buildings include traditional farmsteads, workshops and gardens that show Swedish folk traditions, while Nordic animals and a Sámi camp add cultural and wildlife context. Lill-Skansen and the Baltic Sea Science Center are included with general admission.

A Skansen entrance ticket covers the park for the day, but the admission ticket price varies by season. Seasonal highlights include Midsummer celebrations and the Skansen Christmas Market. At Stockholm Glassworks, a glassblowing workshop lets visitors watch skilled glassblowers demonstrate the craft; hands-on sessions are bookable and last 1–3.5 hours.

For deeper context, a guided historical tour explains selected buildings and farmsteads, while the Skansen audio guide offers three mobile walking tours lasting about 1 or 2 hours, with no app download required. An annual pass suits repeat visitors and provides admission for 12 months from the first visit, with priority access at the main entrance.

Skansen opening hours change by season: summer hours are typically 10:00–18:00, while winter weekdays can close at 15:00. Tram 7 to Skansen stops at the Skansen tram stop and has space for wheelchairs and pushchairs; the Djurgården ferry, line 82, stops at Allmänna Gränd, about 400 metres away. Wheelchair accessibility is available across key areas, including the aquarium, and the Solliden Entrance supports mobility drop-offs.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • The official product is titled "Bergbanan (Funicular) - uppfärd och nedfärd"; confirm that it includes park admission before buying, because the funicular ride is a separate add-on from standard Skansen entry.
  • The "Stockholm: The Skansen Aquarium Entry Ticket" covers the aquarium only; a separate Skansen admission ticket is needed for the open-air museum and its included areas.
  • Children aged 0–15 enter Skansen free, but each child still needs a complimentary ticket booked before arrival or obtained at the entrance.
  • Buying at the entrance can mean a slower admission process than using the pre-purchase entrance; advance tickets do not necessarily remove any checks or queues at the entrance.
  • Storage lockers at the main entrance cost extra, and Skansen’s entrances and shops are cash-free, so bring a card or mobile payment method.
  • Skansen is a large, hilly park with steep slopes, cobbled sections and long distances; visitors with wheelchairs or mobility scooters should not rely on the funicular during an evacuation.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Can I use a mobile ticket at Skansen, and do these tickets require a time slot?

The ticket details shown for these entry products do not state a timed-entry requirement, so they should not be treated as reserved time slots. Keep the mobile ticket ready for scanning and follow any instructions displayed at checkout.

Can I cancel my Skansen ticket or get a refund?

Cancellation and refund terms are not stated in the ticket details shown here. Check the seller’s final checkout conditions before paying, especially if your plans may change.

Should I buy from the official seller or a partner seller?

Choose the official seller when you want the most direct purchase route and clear access to Skansen’s own ticket information. A partner can be useful when its available product suits your plans, but check the final total, inclusions and conditions before booking.

Are bags checked at Skansen, and are lockers available?

The ticket details do not promise faster entry or a way around any security or admission checks. Lockers are available at the Main Entrance, with payment by card or mobile QR code; Skansen also has several wheelchair-accessible entrances.

What happens if I arrive late for my Skansen visit?

Because the ticket details shown here do not specify a timed entry slot, they do not state a separate late-arrival policy. If your checkout confirmation gives a required arrival time, follow that seller’s instructions; otherwise, present the ticket at an open entrance.

Do children and other free or reduced visitors need tickets for Skansen?

Children aged 0–15 have free admission, and a complimentary child ticket can be added when purchasing an adult, student or senior ticket. Students need valid student identification, while carers accompanying a paying visitor can enter free with valid certification.

Is the Skansen Aquarium included in the main entry ticket?

No. The Skansen Aquarium requires a separate ticket in addition to Skansen admission, while the Baltic Sea Science Center and Lill-Skansen are included in the entry ticket.
