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.

Eskilstuna Folkets Park opened on 3 July 1898, one of Sweden's first folk parks, and hosted both the founding of Folkparkernas Centralorganisation and the premiere of folkpark theatre. Animals were added in the early 1950s, and an entrance fee was charged from 1954: 50 öre for adults, 25 for children. By 1956 the zoo held around 200 animals, elephants among them. In the 1980s it specialised in feline carnivores.

The site opened on 3 July 1898 as Eskilstuna Folkets Park, one of Sweden's first people's parks, and hosted the founding of the Folkparkernas Centralorganisation and the premiere of folkpark theatre. The big stage has featured ABBA, Carola, Darin and Kent, and theatre plays run each high season.

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.

Among the zoo's rarer residents are the giant otter, the fossa and the clouded leopard, species that no other Swedish zoo keeps. The feline collection grew from the 1980s, when Parken Zoo began specialising in carnivores. In 2013 a clouded leopard got out of its enclosure and killed three deer.
