Yesterday, during our trip, my friend, two children, and I had the pleasure, or rather the displeasure, of visiting Grona Lund Park in Stockholm. At the park entrance, security checked us, just like all the other visitors, and calmly let us through to continue our fun. I should mention that I am a photographer, and as usual, I had a backpack with me, which contained two lenses and water for my child. I showed all of this to security at the entrance, after which I was allowed in without any issues, just like many other people with similar bags. While strolling through the amusement park, we decided to eat at the Fish & Chips café, where there was quite a long queue. We ordered our food and stood waiting for it. At that moment, an older man with a beard approached us, who turned out to be a security employee from within the park. In a rude manner, he demanded that I immediately leave my backpack in the storage located outside the park, as, according to Swedish law, I was not allowed to walk around the park with it. I explained that we and our children were hungry and had to wait for our order, which was already nearly ready. Despite this, the man continued to rudely hover over us, as if we were some sort of criminals. For me, this situation was extremely humiliating, especially considering that other people with backpacks, bags, and strollers were passing by, and no one said anything to them. I decided, without waiting, to leave and put my backpack in the locker, leaving my friend with the children to wait for our order. By the time I reached the locker, my friend called me and said that the man was still standing by her, demanding that she also leave her small bag outside the park. I should clarify that my friend only had a small waist bag with her documents, which she wore around her waist. My friend, along with our orders and the children, was also escorted out of the park like a criminal by the security guard to the locker. I must emphasize again: we are law-abiding citizens who violated nothing, simply standing with our daughters waiting for our lunch, and this situation and attitude were extremely humiliating for us, ruining our mood for the rest of the day. I give one star solely for the presence of attractions at Grona Lund, but such behavior from the staff completely negates all the positive emotions from our visit.

I do not recommend it.
