Children under the age of 13 must visit Skansen accompanied by an adult. If you are 13 years or older, you are welcome to enter without an adult companion. As Skansen is a large area with both animals and historic environments, as well as major events, we recommend that young people between the ages of 13 and 15 also visit us together with an adult to ensure the safest and best possible experience. Please note that specific age restrictions may apply to concerts and evening events.
