The easiest way by public transport to Slottsskogen, one of the most popular parks of Gothenburg, is to take a tram or bus to Linnéplatsen. The open entrance, just beside the stop, has no gate and is widely accessible to everyone from all directions. Symbolically, a large sculpture called “Community” welcomes visitors to the multi-purpose meeting place for everyone. On a sunny day, the large green fields at the entrance is perfect for picnickers and other leisure activities and outdoor games. A common sight by the Community sculpture, every Saturday at 1 – 2 p.m. is the Gothenburg Falun Gong practitioners performing their exercises. Throughout the year, different music, sports and cultural events take place in the park. Otherwise, the park boasts a zoo opened throughout the day and all year round and a special children’s zoo opened daily between 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., apart from its unique gardens and vegetations in the extensive natural landscape.

A beautiful park in the center of Gothenberg (or Göteborg in Swedish). In the past the area used to be the King's hunting area. Today a lovely area for recreation. Perfect for family with kids but also for any one looking for peace of mind or outdoors activity. The park has some nice walking trails and an outdoor gym. It has even an an area which can be described as a little zoo with penguins, seal, moos, deers, etc.. Additionally there are few play grounds for kids (one of which has a light exhibition at dark which allows kids to keep on playing at the dark hours of winter). There are few coffee shops and dining posdibilities. The entrance to the park is free. Deffently worth a visit if you are in the area. It is located at a good proximity to the natural history museum.

A great place to visit for a day out as a solo traveller as I was, or for groups of friends or families. There is something for everyone here. The park is very big, so plenty of things to see and walks to be done. I was aware there were animals at the park but was pleasantly surprised to find seals, penguins, (you can get super close to these) also moose and other general farm animals. There are wide open areas for picnics, volleyball courts and cafes dotted around to stop for food and drinks. The landscape is a mix of planned nature and natural nature and is a lovely place to see.

Next to the park is the Naturhistorik museum. A huge collection of animals, shells, rocks (even meteorite), insects and fossils. You can eat here and the museum shop is an incredible place to find some treasures for your home. The museum isn't he perfect place to make a great trip with kids because it is within a few minutes walk from the minigolf area in front of the park. The entry is free. If your kids aren't tired after this, you can take a walk through the park (eat ice cream and see a lot of animals).

Perhaps the greatest and the best park in mid-west sweden, it has all the things you need in a big city park, plenty of space, activities both for couples, singles, parents, families, kids, foreigners. Bathrooms costs around 5SEK and soap and water is included in that price(good to know). You have plenty of restaurants/cafeterias to chose from. There is a mini zoo in the middle of the park you can visit. If you play Pokémon Go you have plenty to do, gyms, pokestops and plenty of pokemons around the park.

Slottsskogen, which translates to castle forest or castle park, is the central park in Gothenburg. Spread over 156 hector it has a lake, several areas for picnic, a mini golf course, running and cycling parks, children zoo and a bigger zoo having many animals and birds that can survive in cold weather in the nordics. It also has a couple of cafeterias as well. Apart from the zoo it also has a quite recently built children play area. Needless to say slottsskogen is usually a big hit with children.
