Djurgården island packs a warship, a zoo, a funfair and Astrid Lindgren into one tram ride.
Junibacken story train
A story train through Astrid Lindgren's books plus a full-size Villa Villekulla to climb over. Aimed at two to eight; older siblings will be bored.
Skansen open-air museum
An open-air museum and Nordic zoo on the hill — wolves, bears, lynx and a working historic town. Half a day minimum, largely outdoors.
Gröna Lund
A cramped, charming waterfront funfair open roughly late April to September. Rides are priced separately from entry and height limits are strict.
Vasa Museum
A warship that sank in 1628 and was raised almost intact, lit dramatically in a dark hall. Impressive from about five; the short film helps.
Prams and free travel
Adults pushing a pram board SL buses through the middle door and travel free, and children under seven ride free with a paying adult.
