Gothenburg with children and teenagers: 21 tips about things to do
#1. Liseberg
We have half of the family on the west coast and regularly return. Although we go at regular intervals, it is still the “classics” that attract. In other words, it doesn’t matter how often we visit Liseberg, this amusement park is apparently never boring. It doesn’t matter how wild carousels my children go, I always want to end the day with a nice turn Labergshjulet. Perfect combination with a view of the entire city, a great pace and an opportunity to collect the family to talk today’s adventure.
Good to think for your visit to Liseberg:
- Pre -Purchse Entry and Pass! It’s cheaper to buy Entrance + Ride Pass online instead of blushing it on the site.
- Bring Picnick: It’s okay to bring your own lunch bag (although no barbecue feed). Water stations are also distributed in the park, for example in the Rabbit Country.
- Download the Liseberg app To see the queue times in real time, among other things.
- Don’t forget That Liseberg is also open during the autumn holidays/Halloween and during Christmas!
#2. Universe
Universe is another given family classic to visit in Gothenburg. This well -known place can almost be described as a science center where animals, aquariums and science are mixed and packaged in the best way.

#3. Slottsskogeen
Does Sletttsskogen need a further explanation? This is the own small backyard of the Burgers of Gothenburg, the open living room and a meeting place – perfect for walking, playing, dates, walks, parties and most things that can be done outside. If you have children in the company, you have to pass the seals, penguins and children’s dune. For the game there is no better place than “obligation” – the nicest (and largest) playground in Gothenburg. A duty will be organized again on August 29 after an extensive renovation.

#4. Gothenburg Natural History Museum
I will continue with the given tips and quickly continue to natural history in Slottsskogen. This museum can call itself the oldest in Gothenburg. The biggest celebrity in the museum is probably the Malmska electionsThe world’s only “mounted blue whale”. During the late 19th century, this celebrity choice swam for a dense country and got stuck to a cut in Askimviken. The choices weighed around 25 tons (in the dimensions of Gothenburg it is as much as a tram) and was eventually brought to the museum where you could go into the interior of the whale to drink coffee. After an extensive renovation, the elections were eventually placed in the whale chamber where it is now found.

#5. Maritime Museum Aquarium
When our children were a little younger, she liked to hang around in the Maritime Museum Aquarium. This museum reopened at the end of 2022 after four years of extensive renovation and reconstruction. An important change is the new Building Underground aquarium where there are different aquariums, the largest of them contains 400,000 liters of water. ! The Maritime Museum Aquarium was nominated in 2024 for this year’s museum.

De Heide is a small paradise for everyone who likes to move …

#9. Maritiman
For anyone who wants to learn more about shipping in Gothenburg (the DNA of the entire city is there!) MARITIMAN must be noted – The floating cultural heritage of Gothenburg.

Right next to Götaplatsen at the top of the Avenue, the city library is ready behind Poseidon. I will never stop chatting about the excellence of our municipal library – so even during the trip! Nice place to look past and browse books a bit in books, enjoy the peace and take a small break in the enchanted world of the books.

#12. Jump Yard Trampoline Park
Almost every time we visit the city, at least one visit is planned for a playing country together with the pear cousin of children who lives in the neighborhood. After trying a whole series of activity parks over the years, the children think so Jumpyard in Kungbacka Is the best so far with the motivation “Large, many obstacle courses and many things you can jump from.” There is also a cable car that costs a little extra to go. According to the nine -year -Dold this is both scary and very fun.

#13. Action park
If you have adrenaline who wins children and young people who love skateboards and kickbikes, Action Park is an obvious choice in Gothenburg. For action athletes, an arena (at least) is just as well -known as Ullevi – and the fact is that the park is located between Ullevi and Scandinavium. Think of 2000 square meters of concrete in different designs, think of pits, falls, jumps and obstacles. A dream for all adventurers (and watching a nightmare for nervous adults, believe me!).

#14. Gothenburg Botanical Garden
Here my husband went to school trips when he was small. The area is fun, the atmosphere is fun and the excursion conditions for families very good.

#15. Askimsnadet in Gothenburg
Askimsbadet in Gothenburg is the seaside resort that my husband has spent a lot of his summer vacation. It is shallow and there are also large green spaces that are good for playing. The more than 260 meter long pier is of course also worth mentioning!
#16. Bio in Gothenburg (Filmstaden Bergakungen)
There are numerous cinemas in Gothenburg, our personal favorite is in the middle of Central Gothenburg. Film city Bergakunden Make us rarely disappointed!

#18. Prison Island Gothenburg
This is our best tip for families with children of mixed ages. This place (which exists in different places in Sweden) is a variant of the “prisoners on the fort”. Or as Prison Island writes on the website:“When Femkamp meets Escape Rooms”. Very nice and very smart! There are various arrangements to choose from during our premiere visit that we will stay 1.5 hours, which feels reasonably good. The price tag for our family of two adults and three children/young people lands in SEK 1300.

Tips about family -friendly accommodation in and outside Gothenburg
Liseberg Grand Curiosa Hotel (Adlink): An obvious choice for families with children who want direct access to Liseberg! Here you also have within walking distance cinema, heath and Avenue.
Gothia Towers (Adlink): Bra Alternative to Curios, a stone’s throw from the main entrance of Lisberg. The hotel is adapted to children in every possible way. On the input floor there are play rooms and children adapted to children (and all children receive a small gift at Check -in). Otherwise the view is probably the big draw of the hotel – if you take the glass lift, a cool panoramic view of Gothenburg awaits!
Nääs -factories (Adlink): Our family loves Nääs factories, a short drive outside of Gothenburg.
Scandic opalen (Adlink): The hotel of Scandic is known as family friendly. All children up to 12 years old live here for free.
