Stockholms Tivoli

Stockholms Tivoli, Amusement park on Djurgården Island, Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholms Tivoli was an amusement park at Djurgårdsslätten on Södra Djurgården, opened in 1850 and bought by Skansen in 1901. Its grounds ran from where Skansen's main entrance now stands, up over the hill to today's Solliden and the Galejan area, then called Öfvre Tivoli. It held carousels, slides, theatres, bowling alleys, restaurants and a menagerie of exotic animals.

Stockholms Tivoli opened on 5 August 1850 on land at Djurgårdsslätten, after plans shaped in the 1840s with folklorist Nils Månsson Mandelgren. It burned down on 21 August, sixteen days after opening, was rebuilt, and grew popular in the early 1880s. Skansen bought the park in 1901, and its area became lower Solliden.

The dance floor was among Stockholm's first public ones; public dancing was banned until the late 1880s, but legal on the enclosed, ticketed site as a private gathering. Kristallsalongen, directed by Anna Hoffman-Uddgren, hosted Stockholm's first film screening on 21 July 1896.

The former park area lies between Skansen's main entrance and the Sollidsporten gate on Södra Djurgården. The site is now part of Skansen, so access follows the museum's opening arrangements. The ground rises toward Solliden, and the pond by Skansen's escalator marks where the Kristallsalongen theatre once stood.

Stockholms Tivoli burned down on 21 August 1850, only 16 days after opening on 5 August, and was rebuilt. Its menagerie held two Asian elephants, Sheriff and Kongo, and animals supplied by Carl Hagenbeck of Hamburg. In 1897 King Chulalongkorn of Siam gave Oscar II an elephant.
