Frösö Zoo

Frösö Zoo, Animal park on Frösön island, Sweden.

Frösö Zoo is a 42-hectare animal facility on Frösön island housing around 700 animals from approximately 50 different species. The park features naturally designed enclosures for tigers, lions, dwarf crocodiles, lemurs, and moose, along with a large tropical house containing reptiles and primates.

The facility opened in 1960 when Åke Netterström founded it to become one of northern Sweden's largest animal collections. Over the decades it grew with a particular focus on tropical carnivores and became a major regional attraction.

The zoo was created and owned by Åke Netterström, who ran it on Frösön until operations shut down in 2019 after attempts to sell it failed. Within the animal park area there was also a circus and a family amusement park called Tivoli Trollehatt, so a visit combined animals with fairground rides.

The zoo closed permanently in 2019, so there are no visiting hours or entrance to plan around; the owner announced the closure after failing to sell the facility and the animals were to be relocated. The site lies on Frösön, about 3 km from Östersund, and covered some 42 hectares. What remains is the former park area rather than a working zoo.

Frösö Zoo also contained a circus and a family amusement park, Tivoli Trollehatt, within its grounds. Owner Åke Netterström tried to sell the zoo before it closed in 2019, and reports said the animals would be relocated. The site covered about 42 hectares on Frösön, 3 km from Östersund.
