Skansen Aquarium

Skansen Aquarium is a facility in Djurgarden, Stockholm, that houses fish tanks, monkey enclosures, crocodile pools, and bird aviaries under one roof. The spaces are designed to reflect the natural habitats of the animals on display.

This place was established in 1978 and has undergone several expansions since its opening. Over the decades, it grew from a simple aquarium into a diverse complex showcasing multiple animal habitats and environments.

The facility serves as a learning space where visitors discover marine life and tropical animals from different parts of the world. It demonstrates the diversity of life in warm waters and jungle environments.

You need a separate ticket, which is not included in the Skansen park admission. There are guided tours available and specific times when you can interact with certain animals.

One special feature is the regular times when visitors can touch and get close to selected animal species like smaller reptiles. These interactive experiences happen several times a week and offer a more direct connection with the animals.
