Children's activities in The Paradise Playground

Welcome to our historical play area, we call this lush spot next to the castle "Paradiset". Here, you can explore nature and learn more about what was once cultivated at Skokloster. You can also play in the pavilion and ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The park is open every day, all year round, but in the summer the museum's educational staff is there during museum opening hours to engage the kids.
