The Best Zoos in Stockholm

How this list is ordered: by how complete our listing is — how much we hold on opening hours, ticket prices, accreditation, photographs, animals and facilities. It is a measure of our own coverage, not a judgement of the venue. We hold no visitor scores or conservation assessments, so “best” here means every zoo in Stockholm that qualifies for the list, fullest entry first.

Listed alphabetically

  1. Skansen

    Zoo in Stockholm

    As of 2024 about 140 Scandinavian buildings stand on the site, the oldest of them Vastveitloftet, which dates from the 1300s. The name is taken from a redoubt that Karl XIV Johan had built as a playground for his son, Oscar I.

  2. Aspuddsparken

    Zoo in Stockholm

    The site stands on Blommensbergsvägen in the Hägersten-Älvsjö district and ranks among the largest staffed play parks with animals in the city.

Our ranking methodology

This is not a ranking. The 2 venues above are listed alphabetically by name, the same order used throughout this site. We do not collect visitor reviews, star ratings, ticket-sales figures or a conservation-impact score, so none of those exist here to rank by — “best” in this page’s title means every venue that qualifies for this list, not first-to-last by quality. If we ever add a data source robust enough to support an honest ranking, this note and the order above will change together.
