Enjoy one of Scandinavia’s most exciting experiences! Nestled in the beautiful countryside, covering 1.5 square kilometres (370 acres), Kolmården Wildlife Park is among the most popular tourist attractions in the Nordic countries.
Home to 600 animals from all over the world, Kolmården offers activities for the entire family. In the Dolphin Show “Life”, an international hit, dolphins leap from the water into the hearts of the audience. Board the Safari gondola, the only one of its kind in the world, to quietly glide close above lions and giraffes. Come face to face with big cats in Tiger World, and watch enthralled as raptors swoop overhead in the Birds of Prey Show “Wings”.
Wildfire - the greatest wooden rollercoaster in the world is located in Marine World. With three inversions, a top speed of over 110 km/h, a drop angle of 83 degrees and 12 airtime moments this ride is a real game changer!
Here you can also meet Bamse – the world’s strongest bear – and his friends in a magical world of their own.

Very cozy old town to walk around in or take the little sightseeing train from the harbour around the city. Göta Canal runs through Söderköping and you can stay here and look at the locks or take a trip with one of the tour boats. The town is well preserved with its medieval street network and the city has an old wooden architecture. By the harbour, Ramunderberget with its cliffs attracts climbers from all over the region. On the mountain there is also a well-visited lookout tower.
