Gröna Lund

There are so many memories associated with this place, from going to concerts or going with friends. Riding everything over and over again. It’s a fairly small amusement park but it has some cool rides. Like free fall (never again!) or other roller coasters.
The main thing I like with this park however is not the rides, it is the atmosphere. It is such a nice place to just walk around, enjoy some food, a drink, popcorn and just take in the view from the dock. You can go here by boat from slussen, or by trolley. Either way it is simple to get to.
One big plus for me is that the entrance fee is separate from the fee of riding everything. Yes, you DO have a choice in the matter (unlike Busch Gardens). I don’t like rides so for me it makes sense paying the entrance fee and then I’m happy with that. So you get the other choices of what you want to do inside. You can pick from a wristband that will let you ride everything over and over, or you can even buy coupons and pay for maybe one or two rides.
There are some rides that — in my opinion — are missed. Like the giant viking boat that goes upside down, and others too for that matter. But new generations need new things. My favorite will always be disco jet (not it’s name anymore …), the fun house is always fun.
If you’re visiting Stockholm during summer this is a place to see. Doesn’t matter whether you are in to rides or not, I’d say go. It’s worth it.

There’s no summer in Stockholm without a visit to Gröna Lund! The views are amazing and there’s so much more to it than just an amusement park.
I always recommend to buy the season card which allows entrance any day of the week during the whole summer, including all the music concerts, only for 240kr! Wether you seek the adrenaline rush or just want to sit in the sun and enjoy an ice cream, Gröna Lund delivers.
The city views are fabulous and make sure to take the ferry boat, either to or from the park. Nothing more feels like summer than the warm breeze of the sea :)

It was a fun day. My kids loved it. There is a lot to see and a lot of rides. Lines were not bad. (I checked the website and went on a day that was flagged to be less people). I have 2 little ones so we did the coupon booklet since we wouldn’t be able to ride all the rides. We repeated our favorite rides also. Cost was expensive as you paid an entrance fee for everyone and than the cost of the coupon booklet (you can do unlimited rides with a bracelet). We packed lunch which was nice and there is plenty of sitting everywhere. Bottom line: We definitely had a fun day!

Sweden — ahhh — Sweden. This is the life. Grona Lund is on the island that also has of so many great parks and museums and things to do for kids that you can’t help but make an entire day of it.
Gruna Lund is and old park — — –and so it has quite a few «old’» rides — like a love canal. But it is wonderful and honest and fun. Bring your little children. They will prove it to you. Then eat. Gruna Lund has lots of great places to chow down.

I had not been to a amusement park for ages ! Nevertheless, I had an awesome time there.
To be honest the waiting times were not as bad either, the max I waited was 15 min.
The park itself has it’s own charm but it’s pretty old and does lack some new entertainment, besides that, it’s really fun for all ages !
Overall its fun, it’s situated at a really excellent area, it was just pure fun !

This review is mainly for tourists or foreigners who visit Stockholm and would like to go to an amusement park. I would personally not recommend going to Gröna Lund if you do not have children with you.
Firstly, the amusement park is nothing special since it does not have as many fun attractions as parks in other bigger countries. I guess a lot of people woult see the Stockholm theme park as a fair more than anything else. It is beautiful and all but might disappoint you if you are looking for bigger crazy rides and other attraction. Secondly, it is very expensive to go there, and it is not worth queuing for the rides that they do have available. But if you do, buy the unlimited wriste band, it is by far the most valuable one and can be used for everything escept the ghost house. Last but not least, the food at Gröna Lund is extremely expensive and is not really worth it either. But as a theme park should have, they have chorizos, cotton candy, hot dog, popcorn and every other imaginable theme park candy.
Unfortunately I can’t see what is so special about Gröna Lund except that it is an amusement park that is over a century old. Stockholm has so many more fun attractions that are worth seeing that Gröna Lund becomes dull in comparison.

Einfach Super, nur eben nicht billig aber absolut einen Besuch Wert!

I like Gröna Lund, but perhaps more for nostalgic reasons than because it’s a great spot. If you really like riding roller coasters and such, you’ll be disappointed with this place. They have two great ones: «Fritt Fall», which drops you from a height of 80 meters — make sure you choose the «tilt» option where you sit on bike seats instead of chairs and where it tilts forward before dropping you, and Extreme, which is a short but intense roller coaster. There are a bunch okay rides, but it’s 100 SEK (~15 USD) just to get in to the park and then you have to pay for the rides (or get an unlimited ride pass which is fun if you’re a kid — adults get bored fast).
Some rides, like Extreme, are twisting and turning so much that you can’t have anything in your pockets (unless you can zip them up). This means you have to put your stuff in a locker, unfortunately a lot of lockers were broken last I visited and there are not many to begin with. They also cost you 10 SEK and you must have coins.
Food is not good here. It’s on par with airport food, both quality wise and price wise.
One disappointing thing about coming here for a fun night is if they have a concert. The acts are pretty big (Whitesnake was there the night I visited, and Lady Gaga has made a gig here) but a lot of the rides close down during the concert so if your’e not into music you’ll be disappointed.
It’s a good place to kill one or two hours, but it’s not an amusement park by international standards.

Okay, so it’s no 6 Flags or Disneyland… but it’s not claiming to be either…
This old «theme park» of sorts has loads of charm and history.
There’s fun for all ages here, from about 5 years +
The big drop rides are actually extremely high and quite the adrenaline rush if that’s what you’re looking for. The roller coasters are easy enough that almost anyone can ride them, but they have just enough loops and turns to make them a bit exciting.
The games are fun for all the kids and of course the huge sticks of Cotton Candy, the super sized icee drinks and all the great carnival snacks are always a huge hit!
I guess it feels more like an American «fair» than an actual theme park, but that’s just fine for me — I love it all just the same
PS: buy the unlimited wristbands — better value!

Pendant la visite en bateau autour des îles de Stockholm, j’ai aperçu des gens assis dans une nacelle monter en haut d’une tour de 80 mètres et chuter d’un seul coup ! Quelle horreur ! Ah bah en fait, c’est tout simplement la plus haute chute libre d’Europe qui siège dans ce parc d’attractions. Peut être la plus sensationnelle des attractions mais je n’ai pas tenté l’expérience, j’ai préféré les montagnes russes déjà bien sympas ou encore le train fantôme qui est assez bien fait.
Le plan distribué à l’entrée est assez mal fait alors j’ai demandé à l’accueil un peu d’aide pour savoir quel numéro indiquait quelle attraction…
Côté financier, on paye l’entrée dans le parc puis des tickets ou alors un pass illimité en plus de l’entrée. Les attractions coûtent entre 1 et 3 tickets (1 ticket = 2 €).
Je mets 5 étoiles pour la vue imprenable sur Stockholm lorsque l’on est tout en haut des montagnes russes. Seulement quelques dixièmes de secondes pour en profiter car le sol s’invite très rapidement dans votre champs de vision ^^

Really cool carnival. Nice attractions, I definitely recommend the carousels of different kinds.

Grona Lund– it is no monster theme park by any means– but it has charm, and it has age, and its a great place to get a thrill. This place has been around since 1883, and has been doing strong since.
I haven’t been in ages, and I am sure it has made a few changes/​additions, but I am sure the premise remains the same.
They have many different admission options, but I remember choosing the unlimited ride option wristband for like $ 25US– I could ride whatever, whenever.
The park is on the same island as Skansen, and is on the waterfront– has beautiful views of the park, and surrounding water.
They have many rides, and I heard they added a wooden roller coaster. Don’t expect Six Flags thrills or the world’s largest, but you do have a great time. I remember doing the free fall at night and seeing a beautiful Stockholm lit up at night.
Hell, I even had a blast in the fun house– I think the only one I have really been in! Crazy mirrors, crazy legs, slides, booby traps– the whole 9– I almost felt like I was on the set of Goonies!
This is a great place to spend the afternoon if this is your kind of thing, it doesn;t get too hectic… And apparently they play a lot of concerts here too (apparently Bob Marley liked to play here a lot, as he played for 32K fans back in ’80 here!).
I hope to see you again some day, Grona Lund!

Nach Gröna Lund reist man am schönsten mit der Fähre ab Slussen an. Schon von weitem sieht man das Kettenkarusell und hört das Kreischen und Lachen übers Wasser hallen.
Gröna Lund ist bereits über 100 Jahre alt und viele der Attraktionen sind herrlich nostalgisch. Aber auch die neusten Achterbahnen wie das «Insane» lassen in Sachen «Tschüß, Magen/​Hirn!» keine Wünsche offen. Hier findet sich außerdem das Petterson & Findus-​Land ebenso wie eine große Tanzfläche mit tausenden von Glühlämpchen und Livemusik. Für Verliebte bei Sonnenuntergang eine echte «Smultonställe».
Der Eintritt für Gröna Lund beträgt mittlerweile 90 Kronen.

Sehr schöné Freizeitspark und die Personl sind freundlich und hilfsbreit. Viele Kinder haben ganz doll Spass und viel Lachen.

Gröna Lund is one of Swedens best and oldest amusement parks. Located in the heart of Stockholm it cant be a better place to visit in the summer. There is something for every age.

Ein wirklich sehr schöner Freizeitpark in traumhafter Lage direkt am Wasser mit dem schon beschriebenen tollen Ausblick auf die verschiedenen anderen Inseln von Stockholm.
Ich muss allerdings noch verfeinern, dass das Gröna Lund 2x kostet: 1x den eigentlichen Eintrittspreis, also dass man überhaupt hinein darf: 70SEK. Und hinzu kommen dann noch die Fahrten, entweder einzeln (relativ teuer) oder den Tagespass für 280SEK. Ich denke, die Preise sind schon typisch skandinavisch gehoben, wenn ich dieses Geld zB mit dem HansaPark an der Ostsee vergleiche, wo ich für 24EUR reinkomme.
Aber der Park liegt wie gesagt traumhaft, ist nicht soo groß, aber sehr schön angelegt.
Ganz besonders toll fand ich die Glücksspiele, wo man riesige Schokoladen gewinnen konnte, zB 2KG Toblerone, Mars Delight, Twix etc.
Sah echt witzig aus, ist aber wie gesagt ein Glücksspiel und man weiß ja, wie groß Chancen bei so was sind. ;-)

mein allerstes erlebnis in gröna lund war eigentlich gar nicht mal das schönste. als kleines kind war ich natürlich begeistert von den ganzen attraktionen. schiffsschaukel hier, kettenkarussel da, achterbahn und über werden süßigkeiten und naschwerk verkauft. ein traum für einen 11jährigen :)
aber wie das so ist als kind, man kennt keine grenzen. nach der x-​ten runde schiffsschaukel (mit überschlag) wurde mir derart schlecht, dass die ganzen leckereien leider nicht in mir haben bleiben wollen!
inzwischen bin ich älter, besonnener: D
deswegen konnte ich bei meinem letzten besuch in gröna lund auch maß halten mit den fahrgestellen. so ein bischen wird man aber wieder kind, hat ganz große augen, und will eigentlich alles auf einmal machen. viele neue attraktionen sind seit meinem letzten besuch hinzugekommen, denn auch wenn gröna lund ein historischer freizeitpark ist (also schon ziemlich alt), geht er mit der zeit, und muss dem immer größeren schnelligkeitsdrang der besucher gerecht werden.
der vorteil an der ganzen sache ist, man zahlt einmal eintritt. die fahrgestelle sind dann alle umsonst. der eintritt ist (vergleicht man ihn mal mit deutschen äquivalenten wie dem phantasialand) verhältnismäßig gering. vielleicht sind die gebotenen attraktionen auch nicht ganz so rasant wie in vergleichbaren anlagen, dafür ist dies ein absolut atmosphärischer freizeitpark im herzen stockholms. tags– wie nachtsüber ist eine wunderschöné aussicht auf gamla stan, öster– und södermalm gewährleistet. erreichen kann man den park via bus oder straßenbahn von der nordseite oder über die fähre von süden her.
