The Paradise Playground
Welcome to The Paradise playground with sculptures you can play on! It's open all year around and is free of charge.
In the summer, this is where the castle warden has her vegetable patch. Here you can explore nature and learn more about what was cultivated at Skokloster in former times. You can also potter about, ride a hobby-horse and much more besides! The activities are free of charge.
Child-friendly exhibitions
On the ground floor we present Dreams of Skokloster – Between Battlefield and Starry Sky. Discover the castle’s gleaming swords and treasures or view one of the world’s best-known paintings, Vertumnus. What fruits can you find in the portrait?
Family tours
Join us in the magnificent state apartments! We will look for fire-breathing dragons, take a look into the enormous banqueting hall, which was never fully completed, and discover Wrangel’s armoury, where you can see swords and armour.
Family tours are available during the summer and autumn holidays. Tickets can be bought the same day at the castle entrance. Children aged 18 and under free of charge in company with an adult. SEK 170 for adults.
Audio guide (available in Swedish only)
What was it like growing up in a big castle in the 17th century? Accompany Juliana Wrangel through the castle’s finest rooms, where she lives with her mother, father and all her brothers and sisters.
Tour the castle’s state apartments on your own with our audioguide for children. Scan the QR-code in the museum entrance, plug in your headphones, and dive into history!
The audio guide is free of charge. We recommend it for children aged 6 years and up.
Castle safari for children
Can you find the animals hidden in the wall coverings, the pictures, the furniture or the ceiling? When the Wrangel family lived in the castle in the 17th century, they were surrounded by animals. There were dogs, horses, birds and monkeys – even a bear!
The castle safari is available to purchase in the shop on the ground floor.
Price: SEK 40
