Gothenburg · With kids

A large amusement park open roughly late April to October, then again for the Christmas market. Headline coasters need 130 cm; smaller children have their own quarter.

Seven floors including a walk-through rainforest with monkeys and a shark tank. Warm, humid and genuinely absorbing for four to twelve.

Boats from Saltholmen to Styrsö and Brännö run on ordinary transit tickets. The islands ban cars, so children can roam between swimming rocks.

A large, imaginative free playground inside Slottsskogen with water play in summer, next to the free animal enclosures. Toddlers to about ten.

Go on a weekday, arrive at opening, and check ride height limits before building expectations. Trams 2, 4 and 5 all stop at Korsvägen.
