The 19 best things to do with kids in Vasteras

Anundshög is a monumental burial mound dating back to the Iron Age (~500–700 CE) located in Västerås, Sweden. It stands 9 meters tall and 64 meters wide—believed to be the resting place of a powerful chieftain or king.

Anundshög (also Anundshögen and Anunds hög) is a tumulus near Västerås in Västmanland, the largest in Sweden. It has a diameter of 60 metres (200 ft) and is about 9 metres (30 ft) high. Assessments of the era of the mound vary between the Bronze Age and the late Iron Age. A fireplace under it has been dated by radiocarbon dating to sometime between AD 210 and 540. Some historians have associated the mound with the legendary King Anund, while others regard this as speculative. It is purported also that the name is taken from the large runestone at the site, (Vs 13) the central stone in a row of 15 alongside the mound, re-erected in the 1960s and apparently marking out the route of the Eriksgata. At the foot of the mound are 2 large stone ships placed end to end, 51 metres (167 ft) and 54 metres (177 ft) long. The site was a thing-place and the ship settings may be associated with this function.

Neat area to walk around with informational plaques in Swedish and English. Awesome view of the stones from the top of the mound.

This place is an archaeological site for doing research activities.This place consists of people who were burried more than 1000 years ago.On April 30th,2022 there was a festival conducted here.We went to see the programme here. Overall this is a nice place to take good amount of photography. There were 2 small hills near to the stones.Children were playing on the hills. As a tourist ,you can witness the stones being beautifully placed in the shape of 8 when you see the view from the hill top. There is a small café near to this place.

One more place out of my list. The place deserves a bit more love but overall it was really amazing being there.

Always a good stop off with the kids for exploring the mounds, some play and a snack. There is a well stocked play area and the open grass spaces and picnic tables allow for keeping an eye on the kids while having a sit down. The mounds themselves are great and the view from the top of the biggest mound is recommended. This place is not weather dependent and I think equally fantastic in winter as in summer (although somewhat more limited in activities) keep an eye out for events such as valborg.

beautiful archaeological site (burial mounds), just outside Vasteras.

Cool place but tends to be way to crowded. Sometimes so that you wonder how many are actually allowed inside at the same time. Ques can be long but move relatively fast. The biggest negative is that they don't allow you to bring your own food. The food they serve is not great but not bad either, but it would be nice to be able to choose between theirs and your own.

I have a 9-year old and a 6-year old. They loved it and went on all the slides except the single rubber ring one (despite seeing some small kids do it, I went on it and thought it was pretty terrifying!). The kids loved the whirlpool at the end of the ground floor pool too. Will definitely be back!

Exciting architecture, really something outstanding. Of course it can become a bit crowded, but obviously this is not the place where you go for a relaxing swim. Water and ambient temperature were fine, personnel friendly and attentive. The one big nuisance is the parking space: It is operated by a shady company which issues instructions only in Swedish, requires you to install an app, register with a lot of personal details and pay by credit card. And while you're going through all of this, they sneak up to your car and give you a 500 SEK fine for 5 minutes! This really spoils the whole experience. 😞

This place has potential, but there are several issues. Not all rides were open and visits are limited to fixed time slots, even though you pay the full price. The promise of cheaper online tickets is misleading, as in reality you pay extra when buying at the counter. The pool designs is questionable, with ''hidden'' steps that make slipping and injuries likely. It’s very slippery overall, so slippers are a must. While it's nicer than some other places, it still feels pretty expensive. Worth if you're staying for the spa.

Absolutely recommend. You have everything your heart desires. From fun slides,to baby pools and a special section apecial for adults with a bar and calm environment. And for the price you get a lot. We had a whole day of fun there.

I have to give an honest review. This place gives the impression that it's some sort of cool adventure waterpark....it is not. It's a swimming pool with a few slides. Some of the "attractions" were shut down (The Double Racer and the Aqua Cinema). The "Wall" in the beginning had so many grips missing it was impossible to actually climb it to be able to enjoy it. They didn't have enough tubes so people were standing around at the bottom waiting. I even saw some adults trying to take tubes from children. The lines are long and they close down certain slides during certain times which makes no sense, which causes even longer lines. They only have TWO VR headsets at a time for the "underwater experience" which is insane considering how many people are there. The VR for the slides is "ok" but its very outdated, it reminded me of when VR first came out not to mention you have to pay to even use the headsets every time you use them! For the price it's SUPER overpriced it's not fair that we were charged full price for a park that wasn't fully functional. The only thing that was actually cool was the Boomerang, altho ride with caution, I slammed my backside and legs on it.

We visited Kokpunkten, but were very disappointed with the lack of communication. Nowhere on the start webpage, during the booking process, or upon arrival were we informed that one of the waterslide — the main reason for our visit — was out of service. Even at check-in and at the entrance, there was no information about this. As a result, only one slide remained available for our daughter and her friend. We raised our concerns at the time, but were not offered any discount or compensation. Staff took our phone number and email and said we would be contacted regarding compensation. It has now been two months, and we have still not heard back. This has been very poorly handled.

This castle is very old, from the beginning, in 12th century, only an administrative and prison building. Early on the Swedish kings established here. As the north hills of Västerås were found to be very mineral rich, it became the shipping harbour of ore, and the castle expanded to a squared castle like building. But to be honest, not very interesting.

Old and well preserved.

I was here with my company for a Christmas Dinner. The food was okay, but the place it self was not anything special. Maybe it was because of the way they had the tables setup for the buffet.

Such a nice place. Architecture is beautiful and you should taste the food of the restaurant as well. Really nice experience eating there! Pretty good prices!

This used to be the place to be. Then we realized that maybe people wasn't worth more just because they were born from a certain bloodline.

Want to know something about the swedish king who was poisoned by arsenic in his pea soup? This is where it happened!

Nice historic environment, but the lunch did not impress.

Good place for a walk around into traditional Swedish lifestyle. They've preserved some of the farmer equipment from old times. It has a free entry. There's also a word museum reciting forgotten Swedish words. You can witness live cattle like different types of goats, rabbits, duck, goose and horses.

Absolutely fantastic playground and facilities from old Sweden showing farms and heritage

I enjoyed walking around the place reading Swedish lifestyle and culture and easily spent around 2hours

Entry was free. Note that almost all the houses are open only on summer time.

Vallby Open Air Museum is an open-air museum in Västerås. The museum is located at Skerikesvägen 2 near the E18 about two kilometers north of the center of Västerås. The museum began construction in 1921 and is currently run by the city of Västerås. The museum shows environments from both the city and the countryside, the oldest of which is from the 17th century. Within the area there are preserved wooden and stone houses from the city and the country, endangered farm animals, cultivations of cultural and ornamental plants and crafts. Today, Vallby Open Air Museum is one of Sweden's largest open-air museums with around 40 buildings.

In general it’s casual place and okay to visit if you want to take a stroll and see some history and animals but It’s overrated place on Google Maps considering all the reviews and stars ⭐️. Keep your expectations accordingly.

Leo's Lekland is a popular indoor play center for children, offering a wide range of fun activities, including slides, trampolines, and climbing structures. With its safe and engaging environment, it's a favorite destination for family outings and birthday parties.

An awesome indoor place for kids to play, especially during winter when the entire country is covered in snow. A great place for parents to chill, too.

Perfect place for celebrating children birthdays. The installations are really good for kinds enjoyment. I hope the staff improves because they make you feel they are in a hurry.

Good place to drain energy for kids. There is a lot to do. I suggest to come in the morning on weekdays it can be quite busy

The place is good for kids, but the staff is very unfriendly and slow. The food area was extremely dirty, tables weren't clean, you cant wear shoes, so I kept stepping on food leftovers. When I mentioned it to the staff, they grumpily said they clean up when it's dirty, but it was clearly dirty at that moment.

Very good place for kids to play and have fun. Good and safe , parents can do watch them playing and can also participate with them...Nice place to have coffee and gossip too..kids and parents couldn't get bored there. But the ticket are getting costly day by day.

This place just keeps getting worse and worse. It's worn, dirty, and often overcrowded. Nothing is being renewed, and many attractions are falling into disrepair. For instance, the ball cannons no longer have any balls, and torn balls are scattered on the ground. The slides don't slide, and you can see how old and worn everything has become. However, Leos continue to happily charge SEK 250 without considering updating anything.

We went during winter.This park is present in a small mountain.You ll get a good view of vasteras city from the top of the mountain.Although the steps and the slopes were quite slippery,we managed to reach the mountain.This is an ideal place to have snow skiing at beginner level.A good place to have walking,spending time with family too.

Beautiful park in the central of Västerås, there is a minigolf field and u can also buy ice cream there, its a big pace with much things to look at, such as animals in the pond, midsommarstång, and you can also read on a bunch of stones, I recommend that you go here if u want to take a break and relax, it's also a very popular place to play "Pokemon GO" on

There is something for everyone, activities ranging from taking a walk around to enjoy the nature, children being able to play in the playground, playing a round of mini golf, to finally a fika in the cafe. Djäkneberget is a must vist during the summer months.

A beautiful place to walk and reflect on the beauties of life.

No midsommar fest here thus year, very dissatisfied with Västerås stan

Park was made with interesting concept, looks beautifull and makes specific atmosphere. The hills has great view for city panorama. I really likes this place

Midsummer & national day of Sweden + new year celebrations are celebrated in this park with full of energy and enthusiasm 🤩.

This small ski hill is perfect for beginners, first time skiers or kids. I learned how to Snowboard at this place. There is one small green slope for kids. From the top of the hill there is a little longer green, a blue and two red. The slopes is not that long. So if you are a good experienced skier, this is not for you. The staff is very friendly and supportive. You can all the ski & snowboard gear for a very fair price. The equipment is good.

Great place for beginners! Affordable, fun and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

The definitive ski location in västerås, getting better every passing year!

Central skiing facility. Ski rental. 2 lifts. Child friendly.

Good place for teaching kids to ski

Lovely small ski "mountain"

There's something for everyone

Laser-tag or escape rooms, fun for all

Good place for some hours of fun and competition!!

Really fun and challenging! Enough rooms that keep you occupied for 3 hours. Both physical and mental challenges. Some rooms are very difficult, so don't think it's child's play! A group of 3 people is best. The air can be a bit thick in some rooms. Overall an awesome experience!

The cells were hard, at least the ones we did. The lazer tag was very fun, a little bit exhausting if you are a middle aged man as I am. But we all had a blast.

Much fun, friendly advice: if you are taking the ticket for only 2 hours be fast from the beginning!

Fun place. Very physical. Nice staff. Good for groups, but 3 per team is best.

it's like an arcade for everyone. the levels are really challenging and time simply flies in there.

We were staying at camper stallplats gasthamn and the Community around the Wake park had an 'open day' for newcomers. Very friendly and dedicated people! Had a very good time wakeboarding under their supervision. Big thank you!

Good quality

(Translated by Google) Absolutely magical set. Very good hang and an excellent cable car with many good obstacles. (Original) Helt magiskt ställ. Mycket bra häng och en utmärkt kabelbanan med många bra hinder.

(Translated by Google) Nice people on site who helped a total beginner to try it out. After just a 10-minute ride, I could both stand on and turn the board. (Original) Schysst folk på plats som hjälpte en total nybörjare att prova på. Efter bara ett 10 minuter åk kunde jag både stå på och vända med brädan.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic. If you don't have a boat or a large lake, this is perfect for those who enjoy water sports. (Original) Fantástico. Quem não tem uma lancha e ou não tem um lago muito grande, atende perfeitamente pra quem pratica esportes aquáticos.

(Translated by Google) Nice pitch for mobile homes close to the centre. (Original) Trevlig ställplats för husbilar nära centrum.

(Translated by Google) Wonderfully located on Lögarens stråket. Cool cable park with obstacles, both for young and old. Cool to just sit on the sidelines and watch all the talented beginners style and trick!!! (Original) Underbart belägen vid Lögarens stråket. Häftig cabel park med hinder, både för gammal som ung. Coolt att bara sitta på sidan av o se alla duktiga som nybörjare styla o trixa!!!

Nice walk with a good selection of plants to look at, even if I were there rather late in September.

This is a quaint garden populated with a good variety of herbaceous plants, a few trees, and way too much grass. The garden is reasonably kept, but the seating areas trend to attract the irresponsible, or are otherwise decorated with litter. Nonetheless, worth a quick visit if you are in the vicinity during the right seasons and want some eye candy.

Ok

It is the end of winter/beginning of spring with a few flowering bulbs beginning to bloom

Nice little walking place in the city of Vasteras.

(Translated by Google) So disappointed, the first thing I encountered was a bed of common marigold, I don't know if there was more in that bed - continued further into the garden thinking it was probably a one-off - no, the same thing in almost all flower beds - can you really call this a botanical garden????? (Original) Så besviken, det första jag mötte mig var en bädd med kvickrot, ced det mer skulle finnas i den bädden vet jag inte - fortsatte vidare in i trädgården tänkte att det var säkert en engångsföreteelse- nej samma sak i nästan alla rabatter - kan man verkligen kalla detta för en botanisk trädgård ?????

(Translated by Google) Almost no plants on the signs are left, everything is completely wild and overgrown with other things. No one has looked after the garden for years. Nice place if you are not there to look at the plants that should have been there. (Original) Nästan inga växter på skyltarna finns kvar allt är fullständigt vildvuxet och överväxt av annat. Ingen kan ha skött om trädgården på flera år. Trevlig plats om du inte är där för att titta på växterna som skulle varit där.

(Translated by Google) Nice and cozy medieval church that has been preserved very well. It can get crowded in the church, but gives a cozy atmosphere. (Original) Fin och mysig medeltida kyrka som bevarats väldigt bra. Det kan bli trångt i kyrkan men ger en gemytlig stämning.

(Translated by Google) Nice old church dating from the 12th century. On Tuesdays, the cafe by the church is open. (Original) Fin gammal kyrka med anor från 1100-talet. På tisdagar är cafét vid kyrkan öppet.

(Translated by Google) One of Sweden's oldest churches. Located fantastically cozy in the middle of the field between Tillberga and Hökåsen. There is also interesting history about Gustav Vasa and the Church's bells. Worth going and having a picnic at! (Original) En av sveriges äldsta kyrkor. Ligger fantastiskt mysigt mitt på åkern mellan Tillberga och Hökåsen. Finns även intressant historia om Gustav Vasa och Kyrkans klockor. Värt att åka o ha picknick vid!

(Translated by Google) Really nice and cozy church to celebrate mass in. The priest was also very good and had a good sermon. (Original) Riktigt fin och mysig kyrka att ha fira mässa i. Även prästen var väldigt bra och hade en bra predikan.

(Translated by Google) Medieval church located in a very beautiful place, well worth a visit, just to wander around and feel the beat of time. (Original) Medeltida kyrka som ligger på en väldigt vacker plats, väl värd ett besök, bara att vandra runt och känna tidens vingslag.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful place and a nice church. visited a grave site. (Original) Det är en vacker plats och en fin kyrka.besökte en gravplats.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church and very nice interior (Original) Vacker kyrka och mycket fin interiör

The entrance is small. But it is big on the inside. And there are many options and things to choose from. It is so big that we got lost. The decorations are very nicely done. When you walk into one of them it is like going into someone's house. They have even hung up drawings by childern. The beds are very comfortable.

IKEA is well known all around the world for all house hold things.This chain in Erikslund is present inside Erikslund shopping center in Vásteras.It is present both in ground floor and first floor.The place is so wide and large.There are more possibilities for getting lost in the middle.😂 The categories for every items were properly arranged.You could also get ideas for setting any room from here. The cost for furniture ,decors,and kitchen utensils were normal.But some items like bathroom accessories were little bit higher.But you can find many options and varieties so that you can choose your best option. The customer service was good.There will be a screen in the shopping cart.It will show information of the items on that place wherever we pull the cart.It works based upon the location. There is a service center and shops for getting food items.The cost for the food items were literally cheap.I thought of eating every time here whenever I visit IKEA.

It's a really great IKEA 👍 Even come here sometimes just for the ice cream cones. Really great place to drink a coffee and eat a snack. The stores in the mall it's inside are also great. The parking lot smells like trash and cigarettes though. Cheap place also.

your standard IKEA. Good thing is that it's inside a shopping mall, which means that you can do other things, too. Tip: Park in the garage below. Short way and protected from the elements.

One of the main central IKEA in Sweden you can find more than you expected.

should you feel the need for household items and other stuff nothing can beat the prices and quality of Ikea. I would definitely recommend Ikea.

Easy to find what you needed and very helpful all stuffs

Strongly don’t recommend this hotel!!!!. I have booked new house for two days for Christmas and when we came we were very sad and came back home. Because according to the photos we should stay in new house , but provided house was rather old and completely another from what we have booked online. We have paid 2300 sek and we have not staid there any minute , about this I have informed their call centre. They have not paid me any sek back, our Christmas was distroyd. We came from Stockholm and was able to come back same time.

Don’t bother staying here unless you’re looking for: Filthy algar beach water, poor service, dogs barking all day long, drunken quartels in the middle of the night, glass bottles dumpedd on the path, a laundry room booked for days but standing empty, Showers badly in need of repair. This has been our favourite spot but this year seems to suffer from poor management. Not even a sign informing the public of the water conditions…we checked out several days before our planned stay and they refused to refund our money for the days we didn’t use (buy paid for in sdvance!)

We stayed for one night in a tent. The camping is located right next to the lake which is nice but it is a little far away from the city center. Unfortunately the bathroom and shower where not very clean but they worked fine though.

Good stop over location, but same as with most first camps it is pricey for what it is. Pitches were water logged, so much so we helped someone else get into their pitch as their car couldn't. Facilities clean and tidy and the family shower with a kids bath is really helpful. Will stay again it's just a shame it's so expensive for a stopover site

We have rent a 5 people cabin for 3 people. In one word...dirty.They gave us the key without any shared check-up of the cabin.The mattress were full of human and animal hairs I should done the vacuum on them.The kitchen was full of oily stuff de have to clean everything we used before. Then the bathroom was moldy. Finally we paid 70 kr for the washing machine and the dryer and we went away with humid laundry. We booked for 3 nights and fled after 2.

We really enjoyed our stay. Cabin was basic but had all we needed. You must visit the restaurant on site - the kenab tallrik was the best I've tasted with amazing sauces. Close to Västerås - buses run every 30 minutes from the train station. They have their own access to a beautiful lake with lots of surrounding grass. Even though we went for Midsummer and it was very busy, it was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Place is huge and seems to be pretty good for caravans. The mobil homes are really dirty (the beds are close to beeing disgusting). After telling the stuff, they came and cleaned one of the rooms again. Later that evening we found more dirt, stains and hair on the other mattresses as well. No recommendation.

Very limited selection of items to choose. Nice view over the lake though.

The food is all right but the view is great

Nice view...to bad it was closed and they didnt adjust the information here...

(Translated by Google) Hello! Very unpleasant experience was followed by an elderly gentleman tinkering with something in the flower bed at the cafe today, Monday the 8th, right down to my caravan in the parking lot. and started accusing me of things then asked me how long I had been in the parking lot and said something about the municipality, well thanks we know all the rules around this. I don't think he has anything to do with it. He also said that the cafe and the toilet are private land.. We paint inside the caravan He also asked about that, which he also really has nothing to do with.. again there we have sense and etiquette. He was also very rude. Sad as we won't be coming back to the cafe again don't want to run into this man again. I got up and asked if the toilet was public only and this gentleman didn't like it. We stand there sometimes for fishing and shop at the cafe sometimes. He was clear in saying that they were only for guests, but we are guests at the cafe sometimes, I only asked if the toilet was public as it says so on the door of the toilet. So really, is the toilet public as it says? Is it private land? (Original) Hej! Mycket obehaglig upplevelse blev förföljd av en äldre herre som pysslade med nånting i rabatten vid cafeet idag måndag den 8:e, ända ner till min husvagn på parkeringen. och började anklaga mig för saker sen frågade ut mig hur länge jag stått på parkeringen och drog nånting om kommunen, jo tack vi har koll på alla regler häromkring. Tycker inte han har med det att göra. Han sa även att cafét och toaletten är privat mark.. Vi målar inne i husvagnen Han frågade även om det, vilket han heller igentligen inte har med att göra.. återigen där har vi koll på vett och etikett. Han va väldigt otrevlig dessutom. Tråkigt då vi inte kommer att komma tillbaka till caféet igen vill inte stöta på denna man igen. Jag var upp och frågade om toaletten va offentlig enbart och det gillades väll inte av denna herre. Vi står där ibland för fiske och handlar på cafét ibland. Han va tydlig med att säga att de enbart var till gäster men vi är ju gäster till cafét ibland,jag frågade enbart om toan var offentlig då det står så på dörren på toaletten. Så vad gäller igentligen, är toaletten offentlig som det står? Är det privat mark?

(Translated by Google) Quiet and nice location, good coffee with nice sandwiches, dog friendly. (Original) Lugnt och fint läge, gott kaffe med fina mackor, hundvänligt.

(Translated by Google) Super cozy farm with 3 cottages, was secluded and perfect for us. The cabin was a good size with 2 bedrooms. Spacious room with kitchen and table, sofa. Fresh showers and toilets right next door. Beautiful view from the cafe over Lake Mälaren. And close to a small bath with beach and jetty. The staff were so nice and welcoming. (Original) Supermysig gård med 3 stugor, var avskilt och perfekt för oss. Stugan var lagom stor med 2 sovrum. Rymligt rum med kök och bord, soffa. Fräscha duschar och toaletter precis bredvid. Härlig utsikt från caféet över Mälaren. Och nära litet bad med strand och brygga. Personalen var så trevlig och välkomnande.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly good and nice calming view, probably the best in town. The younger staff have now received training in how it should be done and they have also made a new investment in the form of a pump thermos, instead of the table jugs they used to cool the coffee in before. The short season is the only downside, but it's all the better once it gets going. (Original) Otroligt bra och trevligt rogivande utsikt, sannolikt stans bästa. Den yngre personalen har nu fått utbildning i hur det ska gå till och man har även gjort en nyinvestering i form av en pumptermos, istället för bordskannorna man kylde ner kaffet i tidigare. Den korta säsongen är den enda nackdelen, men det är desto bättre när den igång.

Sure!

Nice, but small zoo, features nordic animals and farm animals. Small zoo for the children and featuring also for example lemurs, snakes and other. Restaurant is quite OK and there is a large playing ground for the children. Worth to visit but a long drive from Stockholm

We LOVE this place! All the staff is extremely pleasant and knowledgeable! If you have a kid they won’t want to leave. Highly recommend this place. We’ll be going back again soon. You need to go check this place out!! Keep up the good work all! Aloha 🤙

Impressive Rise of the Dinosaurs show with amazing display of snakes, lizard, buzzard and scary dinosaurs. Beautiful zoo with other animals outside including pony rides, horses, camels, wild boars and reindeer. Brunch available also!

What I like about this place is that they have so big space for animals to wander around. Also their waffles are handmade and tasty!

Perfect small zoo for a family visit with a lot activities for both kids and adults.

VERY family friendly! It is a zoo, BUT, it's also like a family zoo. It sounds weird, but it's perfect! There is a schedule so something happens every hour, your kids will love it. Our 4-yo did. Spent the entire day there! Food is affordable and suits everyone.

Nice place to stop by. Would've liked a larger indoor park this time of year.

The place is nice, I was there on weekend (Saturday) around 4pm and unfortunately the ice cream shop was closed. Can anyone please mention days and timings for ice cream shop?

Nice place. Tasty food, a bit pricey. No alcohol served.

Quirky and different place, lots of old ships and reconstructions of viking-age ships. Not sure how true to history the ships are (thinking of the largest one, the cogg). Unfortunately the information signs are bleached by the sun and are hard to read. They do their own ice cream, Very tasty but also pricey. The staff might have had a bad day when we were there - seemed annoyed to have guests they had to serve. Not a single smile, just a bad attitude. I guess it would be possible to swim from the pier, but this isn't the place you go for a swim. They do rent out cayaks and have fun activities like archery for a fee.

Delicious home made ice cream!

A great place for family and friends. 1) Free car parking 2)No entry free 3) You can freely go inside the sailing ship 4) Wonderful scenary 5) You can very well spent minimum 1 hour 6) You can walk inside woods nearby 7) Very tasty icecream shop available (One scoup cone icecream for 45 SEK) 8) Wondeful lake view 9) Bring food and you get enough place to have it Visited on 22 May 2022(Sunday) with wife and kid.

Incredible ships and it gives a whole new experience to see them floating in the water. Friendly staff that love to talk about their ships and work. Very friendly and playful dog by the smith as well.

Not so much to do, ship was cool.
