Parken Zoo, Zoo and amusement park in Eskilstuna, Sweden
Parken Zoo is a combined zoo and amusement park in Eskilstuna featuring animal enclosures, fairground rides, water attractions, and on-site accommodation. The facility integrates all these elements across its grounds so visitors can spend multiple days enjoying different activities without leaving the park.
The park began as a traditional animal exhibition and gradually expanded to include rides and resort amenities over time. This transformation reflects how the location evolved to serve broader entertainment needs for families in the region.
The facility functions as an InfoPoint for Eskilstuna, providing visitors with detailed information about local attractions and regional activities.
The park is accessible by public bus with stops nearby, and visitors can also reach it by bicycle using dedicated cycling paths from central Eskilstuna. Planning a full day or overnight stay works well given the variety of activities available across the grounds.
The park houses animal species found nowhere else in Sweden, giving visitors rare opportunities to observe wildlife from distant continents. This concentration of exotic animals in one location means people can experience animals they would otherwise need to travel far to encounter.
