The 36 best things to do with kids in Uppsala

Oldest and the most important cathedral in Sweden with a lot of history and it is absolutely huge with 119 meters twin spires dominating the skyline. Graves of great Swedish scientists Linnaeus and Celsius as well as Swedish kings and Queens decorate the floor, vestibules and chapels. The altar, stained glass windows and pulpit are all interesting. At the entrance to the cathedral there is an excellent presentation of the whole history of this cathedral in a chronological fashion as well as a detailed map of various graves, shrines etc. There are lots of Rune stones in the church yard as well. We were in the cathedral while the Sunday mass was going on. We attended the service although it was in Swedish. Magdalene college Oxford choir was visiting and their singing and organ music was ethereal. This place is a must on any visit to Uppsala.

Beautiful cathedral in Uppsala. Not too many tourist come inside. Beautiful architectuur. What make unique also is inside the cathedral have corner for children to play. It’s interesting and make the children quite for a while because busy playing bicks here. One of the must places to visit in Uppsala.

Uppsala Cathedral is truly beautiful. It’s stunning on the outside and peaceful on the inside. You can enter for free, which is great because it gives you the chance to take your time, sit for a while, and just enjoy the calm atmosphere. The architecture is impressive, full of history and detail. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Uppsala.

Visiting Uppsala Cathedral was a truly awe-inspiring experience. The grandeur of the Gothic architecture, with its soaring spires and intricate details, immediately captures your attention. Inside, the atmosphere is both majestic and peaceful, filled with beautiful stained glass windows and impressive medieval art. The cathedral’s history is palpable, from royal tombs to centuries-old craftsmanship. It’s a perfect spot for history buffs, architecture lovers, and anyone looking for a serene place to reflect. A must-see when in Uppsala!

Had the opportunity to perform at the cathedral. The leadership and staff were friendly and welcoming. The structure is beautiful. Definitely worth a visit!

This is a major landmark of Uppsala — a cathedral full of enchantment, power, and beauty. Once inside, you can truly feel a sense of peace and spirituality. Every corner of the place is stunning.

Beautiful place with small treasury museum. Make sure to check concerts' schedule, you can't visit 30 min before the concert starts.

it is literally OK kind of place. nothing great. like city is very cool and calm. nice people but literally very dead kind of place. nothing special kind of castle. we walked down from railway station. and surprisingly we like walking to the street of city was more fun then visiting inside of castle. there was a cafeteria and having nice coffee, cakes and noodles options. other than we didn't enjoy much. but yes it was a good and pleasant experience travelling from stockholm to uppsala by train. in fact, there are nice church and other place where my kids enjoyed.

Uppsala Castle is an imposing landmark with a rich history, offering great views over the city. While the exterior is impressive, the inside is not as grand as one might expect from a castle of this scale. There are some exhibitions inside, but the real highlight is walking around the grounds and enjoying the panoramic scenery. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Uppsala, especially for history enthusiasts. If you’re interested in Swedish history, the museum inside might be worth checking out, but the castle itself is more about its historical significance than lavish interiors.

An interesting building with 3 different museums while two of them are free. There are parking lots outside and very convenient. The building is on a hill and there are old canons outside. A coffee shop is inside the art museum. In overall it is a great view and nice to get some bits of informations through the museums.

One of the best views in Uppsala since it‘s also on of the highest points of the city. Highly recommend this spot during sunsets. 🌅

Striking castle with a multitude of museums and historical features. Enjoyed roaming the courtyard and visiting the castle ruins museum.

Uppsala Castle (Uppsala Slott) is a striking Renaissance-era fortress perched on a hill overlooking the city. Built in the 16th century, it played a key role in Swedish history, including dramatic events like the Sture Murders. Today, the castle houses art exhibitions, museums, and the office of the County Governor. The panoramic view from the castle grounds is spectacular, offering a clear vista of Uppsala Cathedral and the surrounding city. Its pink façade and historic halls create a unique blend of power and elegance. Uppsala Slott is a captivating destination for history lovers and a cultural gem worth exploring.

The castle it self is nothing special from the outside. On the other hand there's a terrific panorama view.

A good place to relax with kids of all ages, but teenagers will be a little sad, because the slides are under repair and there is only one pool with paths and diving boards. The other outdoor pools are shallow. There is a nice area for the smallest children, it's great that smoking is not allowed on the territory, but it's better to take food and drinks with you, there is a small cafe with burgers, hotdogs and mini pizzas, delicious pancakes with jam. And ice cream. A nice field for recreation, in good weather there are many people and plenty of sun loungers. There is little shade or shelter, so you need to have sunscreen.

Take your own padlocks AND a 10 SEK coin! The premises are old, but the swimming pools and showers themselves are good. The place is a bit crowded for what it offers and we adults missed the regular pool which was strangely warm and either booked or occupied with parents with babies.

I wanted to go for a swim, but when I arrived the pool was completely occupied with school classes, senior sports groups, and other visitors. There was no chance to get into the water. The outdoor area was closed, another indoor section was under construction, and the "hot pool" was fully booked. So I ended up with nowhere to swim, changed back into my clothes, and went home. Some information about this at the entrance would have been really helpful.

Great place! The showers are good and you can manage the temperature. The swimming pool is clean and there's usually space to swim alone; I train for a triathlon. The restaurant has a yummy vegetarian hamburger for 89 sek, as today 28/feb-24. The personnel is kind and smile to customers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Could improve? Yes, the personnel could guide customers if they're in the wrong line: fast, medley or motion.

This review is only of the swimming hall. It's a bit run down in the locker rooms and showers but the actual swimming hall is brightly lit and nice. Lots of space for swimming and if you don't go during peak hours it's surprisingly calm. Would definitely recommend having a swim if you don't mind the rustic look.

The place is bit worn, but will supposedly be renovated this summer (2025). My kids (5 and 3) loved it though, and didn't care at all about the wear. There was a waterslide that was perfect for them (even better than in Täby). Towards the afternoon, more teens arrived. Their games were a bit too intensive close to my kids, but again my kids didn't seem to mind. Good water pressure and temperature in the showers and fountains. Really friendly staff. Plenty of attentive guards by the water.

My husband was running a marathon in Uppsala. So I took my 3 children here. We were quickly disappointed to find out the water adventure component was closed for maintenance on August 16th, 2025. When I had looked at their English website, there was no mention of a closure. However, when I looked at the Swedish website, the announcement was there. But we were already at the pool after an Uber ride from our hotel. For a Saturday, I’d expect many families to visit the pool. Not at all on this day. It was not busy. We still paid to experience a Swedish pool. We liked the indoor family pool. The water was warm enough. My 3 year old daughter loved it. To access the outdoor pool, however, you have to walk past the Olympic sized laned pool. The outdoor pool is NOT heated. It was windy that day. My 2 older boys are the adventurous type and wanted to brave the cold pool and my toddler was not interested. As I tried to take my daughter back to the indoor pool, a lifeguard with good English stopped me. He was helpful and yet NOT helpful at the same time. Turned out I had to watch all 3 of my kids -as a parent, I can’t be at 2 places. My boys even wanted to try the middle of the Olympic pool. We asked the lifeguard as he seemed interested in knowing what we were doing. In his words, technically no, you can’t swim there but there is no one. So I let my boys swim there. As I got my daughter settle at a table with chairs nearby, the same lifeguard approached my boys who are now in the pool. As I went back to my boys, the lifeguard left. My boys explained that the lifeguard said that they can’t swim there because of the scuba diver who was at the bottom of the pool. So we were all back at the indoor kids’ pool, passing the empty adventure pool. What a tease! We were only there for about an hour before we left. I see plenty of signs around this place printed in Swedish and English. Since the English is included already, please update the English website too!

So Cozy, impressed by the artist artworks and high art standard in the other gallery. Nice coffee and brownies. Welcomed environment. You can also sit there and paint. 🎨❤️

A truly vibrant and complete gallery of Bror Hjorth's work, a very satisfying visit even for those who know nothing about him, with lovely welcoming and knowledgeable staff, just remember to put shoe covers on! Strongly recommended

Great beautiful art and very knowledgeable and pleasant staff.

I've been there plenty of times now, and I always loved it. The last time was yesterday, with my baby son for the children's tour. The people working there are super friendly. While we waited for the tour to start, I had fika while the super nice women working at the front desk "talked" to my son. The tour was nice, thank you, Maria!

To move around in the artist's house, atelier and see so many of the works up close is a treat. Great staff adds to the experience and for an art museum it's very family friendly.

A local for expositions and also the house of the artist with its work. The staff is very nice. Recomend the visit.

I visited this museum for the Museums Night and I really enjoyed it. It’s a small and cozy place. :)

Before you buy your ticket, go to the info stand in the corner on the left (inside). (See photo) There are QR codes to YouTube explainers of the history, paper maps of the area, information about the summer program, among other things. Great museum for children, with interactive displays and a dress-up corner. It’s a fairly small museum. I got around all the exhibits in under an hour. It would take a lot longer with children. Prices (2024) in photos. Gift shop has some beautiful things.

This is a very historic and important place for Viking history. It’s a great place to get outside for a bit and enjoy nature and go for a hike. I rode a Ryde scooter out here from Uppsala and it only took about 15 minutes. Perhaps read up on the place in Wikipedia or elsewhere before you go to gain appreciation for the site. Free entry to walking trails. I did not go in the museum. Oh…and you can hike and ride bikes on trails around the mounds which is fun.

This was the worst museum I have ever seen. I expected a lot from Gamla Uppsala Museum, but It was and orribile experience. Basically I paid 150SEK ti read things I could have find on internet. 90% of objects in the museum are replica, so they are not the original, and are also very bad. Rocks with runes are made in plastic and lots of description are just in Swedish language. There are also lots of objects not well cared for (e.g. in a Cup behind the glass there was a dead fly). I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO GO THERE, JUST SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE INFORMATION ON INTERNET!!!

Caught one of the tours. Have lots of good information and answered a ton of questions from my kids. The parking lot is just before the Google directions to the site but an easy walk from the museum parking lot.

Here you can know the values of old history and the livelihood of the people from the Sweden. There is a spot where you can meet the people explaining the old ways and also very polite to interact with. It was a lovely experience.

Great museum, fascinating history of the area. English language translation on nearly everything

Extremely disappointing. You can see everything in under 5 minutes — and that’s being generous. It barely qualifies as a museum; there’s almost nothing to look at. Just a few displays, minimal information, and no real effort to make the experience engaging or educational. Definitely not worth the price — it should be free considering how little is there. Save your time and money, this place is a complete letdown.

Great exhibition! We saw silver bible, Andrew Celsius’ original workbooks, 1600s Issac newton book and many more great exhibits. All for free. Thank you!

Very nice library with an exquisite exhibition with ancient manuscripts.

The gallery may be small at this library, but there is lots to see! There are three very big interactive screens to analyze the documents on display. Best of all, it has the most affordable gift shop in Uppsala—maybe in Sweden! So many awesome posters and paper products available, as well as some more high end items like trays, Umbrellas, etc

One of my favourite public libraries. It’s a beautiful and functional library. There are big lockers for your outdoor stuff, lots of study areas, lovely displays, public loos and an amazing gift shop. It’s a really brilliant space. The cafe is great for students and lots of people being their own food and eat in the cafe area.

Public library with a small museum housing ancient books - definitely worth visiting

Beautiful place to be, lovely gift shop and exhibition too

Peaceful quite elegant building with so many reading rooms and cafe as well

I visited Biotopia with my teacher and classmates and had a great time! The exhibitions were interesting and a fun way to learn Swedish and about Swedish nature. A very nice and educational trip!

It's a small museum dedicated to local landscapes, plants and animals. You can find here the ecosystems of forests, seaside, bog, tundra etc. Everything is made with love to the nature! The entrance is free. You won't spend too much time here but Biotopia definitely worth to visit. There's also a children's corner and a library

An interesting place to learn about wildlife for both adults and children. In the second floor they have exhibits depicting different types of ecosystem in Sweden and Upplands in particular. There are a lot of activities organized for children in the first floor, also an aquarium depicting aquatic life in Fyris river. This museum is free to visit.

Mostly local children go here but I think it's also a nice place for tourists. It's free and you can learn about animals in Sweden.

Not so big but definitely worth the visit, quick way to see Swedish wildlife. The people that were working there were welcoming and nice as well.

I never visited the old biological museum. But I really love the makeover into Biotopia. All signage is in Swedish, but there’s interactive screens with seating at every exhibit so you can better understand the animals in each ecosystem diorama. It’s a quick museum to get through, with a lovely little gift shop. I appreciate the big parking lot with car charging ports built into the fencing.

Love to spend my time here. 100% I would like to suggest this place to my friends. It is a good place to learn and watch how Sweden's (especially Uppsala) ecosystem occurs. There are also explanations in English, which really help non-Swedish speakers to understand the dioramas.

It’s a nice museum. I expected to see more about Uppsala history. The were so kind and respectful. They keep the objects so perfectly and the podcasts related to objects was truly amazing and great idea. Also, there wasn’t just in Swedish language, I listened in English so easily

A well-arranged and educational museum. We had a good time in exploring history of Uppsala University. Personally, it was a great opportunity to visit the anatomical theatre, which I only read in my textbooks of medicine history back then.

The museum is quite mediocre. The only interesting hall contains old scientific apparels and mechanisms. The art gallery is poor. But the biggest disappointment was the anatomical theater which is just... a theater where you can find nothing at all. And the entrance fee is expensive. Better don't waste your time and money here

Another sightseeing stop in Uppsala is the Gustavianum museum. It is located across from the cathedral so it is easy to find. It cost 50 SEK to get in but you get access to the guided tour as well, they do one in Swedish and a highlight tour in English. Note that It is closed on Mondays. The museum has artefacts from around the world but the focus is on local history. The medical theatre is a beautiful piece of work. On a rainy day you could easily spend half a day here but if you only take a browse through it will take you about an hour.

Was an interesting exhibition, with very different times. Also a lot of informations about everything.

We happened to have arrived at the museum right before the guided tour, which is very informative.

Awesome museum inside of Uppsala University. Exhibition includes arts, coin collection, Viking culture artefacts. Unfortunately the Egypt section was closed was renovation during my visit but a lovely experience regardless

Wonderful place! A fantastic gallery with classic sculptures, an amazing space where you can breath the culture of an extraordinary Country!

Be careful with UUHO they are scamming students. Rent from heimstaden directly cost 4200 while the current rent is 5200 (March 2025) . Also the rooms are not maintained and deposit is also scammed out for the maintenance. Basically you become cash cow if if take room from UUHO uppsala housing .

I am a PhD student in Analytical Chemistry at Uppsala University and I feel responsible to share my experience, especially for international students considering pursuing a PhD here. Let me be clear: I believe Uppsala is an excellent university overall, with a strong international reputation and many brilliant people. But what I’ve experienced within my department has been deeply disappointing and harmful. I was well on track to finish my PhD, with one published paper, another fully drafted, and a third based on completed data, and I already had 75% of the data needed for a fourth paper. But instead of being supported to complete the degree, I was pushed to do a licentiate thesis under pressure, with unrealistic deadlines and without proper support. In the Organic Chemistry section of the department, students typically get up to two years to prepare and defend their licentiate thesis. In Analytical Chemistry, it’s standard to have at least one year just to analyze data and write a manuscript. But I was given only four months to analyze data, write and submit a manuscript, attend courses, teach undergraduate labs, and prepare and defend a licentiate thesis, all at once. This wasn’t just unfair, it was impossible to manage and shows how unevenly students are treated depending on who they are and where they’re from. I was also denied lab access, research software, and consistent supervision. The department claims I can still finish, but in reality, I only have access to my university email. Key meetings about my future were held in Swedish, despite the fact that I don’t speak the language and that all prior communication was in English. Requests for support or fairness were met with silence, excuses, or shifting explanations.

One of the oldest university of Sweden 🇸🇪. The buildings are scattered in different locations of the city. Students around the world come here to polish their skills. Skype was developed by IT graduates of Uppsala University.

Oldest uni in the nordics. Beautiful campus. I feel fortunate to have studied here.

This is a great University with top professors. My Time in Uppsala was full of sucess and fun too. It is a top university for every one.

I'm a student of masters in Global health in uppsala university and it's great to be here

Overall a great experience, worth trying! Keep in mind there are a lot of tourists and the train schedule is a little confusing at first.

Late review(June 2019): The star of this line, museum is the 'Nummer 5 Thor', the largest engine on this route. The routes is also quite long(30+ km) but we opted/forced to return from Marielund. At this station, there is a cafe but it was quite crowded. The best thing was that the engine was oiled a bit, water was refilled and the was reversed. Owing to aplenty space, this is a good spot for railfans. I would definitely revisit,it would be good to find out if things have changed.

Highly recommended for train enthusiasts and everyone else! Lovely helpful staff, various types of locomotives (steam, diesel, electric) & carriages (open/closed, wooden/padded benches), beautiful landscape.

It is very nostalgic and beautiful! You should definitely see the inside of the trains as well. It feels like as if you are in an old movie:-)

Very good railway, couldn’t ask for better.

Great experience! My recommendations!

Ok

A must-visit in Uppsala, especially because they are only open from May to September! Some of the succulents and Mediterranean trees from Linneanum were brought to the orangery yard to get much needed sun in the summer. Make sure to get the guided tour to learn more about the organization of the plants, and Linnaeus' life and work (please check their website for schedule) The garden itself is very pretty in the summer, and the three ponds simulating river, lake, and marshlands are the highlight of the garden. Ticket to Linneträdgården includes visit to Museum and Linnes Hammarby, which is worth to visit as well.

Having lived in the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus is a milestone figure in biological sciences. The venue hosts his house and a reconstructed botanical garden which he originated. In the house there is a small display on his research and family life + visitors can join a guided tour through the garden. Even though both the exhibition and the garden are rather compact, it is a pleasant, tranquil place not so generic to find in every tourist city. Uppsala in general may nicely serve as a one day trip from Stockholm: together with Gamla Uppsala, the old cathedral and the renowned university.

Beautiful garden even if it is the end of summer (27/08/2018) and most plants are already dying back. Very well explained and presented. The house/museum itself is a little gem. Take advantage of the free audio guide. Even if sometimes the explanations might seem long, they increase the knowledge and understanding of Linnaeus and his family, the period during which they lived and his discoveries and studies as well as the importance of his classification for modern science and every day botany.

Small but rich, of completeness and history!

Linnaeus Garden is a very special place. It is part of the rich history of Carl Von Linné and houses very many of the plants he researched in his lifetime. You can learn a lot about the plants and his life in this garden. Take one of the guided tours and enjoy the views. Recommended to visit in summer time when most of the plants are in bloom. It's also good yo visit Linnés hammarby. Which is the place where he lived just outside Uppsala.

A wonderful place to visit in Uppsala city, Sweden. We have had a guided tour to the garden and to the old building as well, where you will discover great stories about "Anders Celsius" the man behind the "Celsius" temperature scale of today. Indeed, it was everlasting moment.

Only for those interested and already familiar with the work of Linnaeus. Otherwise it's the least interesting garden I've visited in Sweden.

One of the most interesting interactive art exhibits I've been to. The 6 exhibits each with its own unique theme is ideal for all age groups. The algorithm in the forest exhibit detected the shapes very well to tranfigure them into animals. Same for city lights exhibit. Great fun. The butterfly exhibit could be a bit more interactive, in the sense that changing colors without controlling anything else seems like wasted potential. But the whole experience was calming and zen like.

Nice setup! I might have expected a little more from the AI interpretation of our drawings in 2025 – or put in my 9-year old's words: "I drew a PERFECT airplane, but it become a CAR!" , but in overall it was a nice experience. Worth a visit.

The exhibition is really nice and worth visiting. However, the City part was not working properly. The Ai was not fully repeating brush movements and as a result we got very weird cars and planes.

Super neat! We did the interactive art exhibit. There are five pieces that rotate every six minutes and they are all beautiful. Be prepared to take your shoes off though.

The Cube of Art exhibition was a bit of a surprise experience to be honest. Initially I had thought we would be moving from cube to cube, but it was only in one single room "Cube" and the exhibitions kept changing. The kids loved each exhibition and I really enjoyed how interactive it was. A bit of a different experience than the usual museum. I definitely think it's worth a visit. Only downside is that I felt it was too overpriced for what you actually experience.

A worth-to-go exhibitions. Super interactive and fun. We enjoyed drawing a lot of stuff.

It made me get seperated from the outer world. Calmed me. A good experience. But still some errors in the presentation asthe lack of enough data which I hope will improve in time. 🙏🏻

Another excellent museum is the contemporary art museum at the castle, Uppsala konstmuseum. They have an excellent collection together with a temporary exhibitions and it is free. They share a coffee shop with the castle with a good selection of food and drinks. Take the elevator to the fourth floor and walk down for the best experience.

The Uppsala Art Museum is a nice place to visit if you’re interested in contemporary and modern art. It’s not very big, but the exhibitions are well-curated and offer a good mix of local and international artists. The museum is located inside Uppsala Castle, so you also get to explore a bit of history while visiting. The staff is friendly, and the entry is free, which makes it a great stop if you’re in the area. While the collection is not the most extensive, it’s worth checking out if you enjoy art.

a decent place to understand the art from Northern Europe artists. free to charge for the first three floors. some artworks takes time to digest and understand the message. got quite a bit stairs.

What sets Uppsala Art Museum apart is its location in a former 17th-century palace, known as Uppsala Castle. The museum is housed in the northern wing of the castle, which adds a touch of grandeur and historical charm to the entire experience. The museum's collection is focused on modern and contemporary art, with a wide range of works that encompass various mediums, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations. Would not say this place is for everyone's taste but the entry was free. Would have enjoyed more classical art and paintings! Also the cafeteria downstairs is very nice for "fika"!

Compact museum in the historical interior.

I went there to see the castle. I was not attentive to the exhibition but enjoyed a fairly priced coffee with a carrot cake, the exhibition had an free entrance. What I did not like was these protruding lamps in face height. If you faceplant in one of those , I imagine you could very easily get hurt in your eye. To me it seemed like glass that could get shattered and wound the eyeball. I might be wrong though.

Such a wonderful art museum with a great mixture between traditional and contemporary art pieces. Really accessible for wheelchair users. I enjoyed seeing the paintings by Swedish artists.

Nice museum that is divided into two buildings. The exhibits are well preserved, interesting and photo-friendly. When I was there it was not so much people there. You will have to walk up some stairs to fully enjoy the experience.

Nice way to spend an inexpensive afternoon! Friendly staff.

Mostly very interesting!

I expected much more from the museum. It Is not so big and they do not specify which objects are real and which are reptoduction. The reception Is very friendly and lockers are free to use.

A good place with kids, to learn about paleontology and the story of ancient living creatures on earth.

Small museum on Uppsala University campus.Easily accessible by bus, which is great. You can also walk from central station Uppsala, but it takes about 25 minutes in a good pace. Cheap entry of 50 sek. The museum is pretty small, the docent was great and enthusiastic and helpful. You can easily be done in well under an hour, and that is if you are taking your time at each display. What the museum could have done better is the markings and explanation at each display, would be useful to have name, age, era consistently on each. Also, perhaps indicate if it is real or a reproduction. All in all, a good stop for the fossil interested folks. For the same entry fee one can access 2 other museums on campus.

Some awesome fossils and mineral samples, if you love earth and natural science, this is a nice place to visit

Very cute garden, entry is free only if you wanna look to the glasshouse thats 60 SEK ..they have amazing big water lilies...

Amazing 😻 İ spend 2 hours and didn’t want to leave the park

The anatomy theater at Gustavianum is quite remarkable place to visit. It makes one feel like in a movie. Besides, there are other things to see on the floors of the buildings, including art, and archeological items.

Incredibly beautiful botanical garden. Thank you Uppsala city for keeping it free. Loved all sections. Looks like an art masterpiece!

Beautiful gardens! Properly labeled with botanic names and origins. And very well maintained. I could see that staff take a lot of care… The colours were fantastic! So many flowers and bushes and autumn colours. I saw so many different flowers for the first time ever. The glasshouse looked great too though I couldn’t go inside as it was closed, being a Monday. I had a great time walking around in the kitchen garden and the Baroque garden and other areas 😀

A shitty botanical garden, supposedly my backpack is too big, I should put it in a locker that is way too small. It is a 20 liter backpack and every almost normal guest on this day, carries three jackets around with him. The very friendly, helpful employee, said. "I told them that the backpack was too big before they bought the ticket." "this is a museum" a very helpful support. Also the employee's suggestion to divide my things into two lockers makes no sense if the base frame of the backpack is too big. If a botanical garden is a museum, then you should also describe it on your homepage and also the regulation with backpacks. I have now waited 2 hours to go to this botanical garden to be rejected with this form because of my backpack. So since I paid the 60 SEK at the machine, a refund is also not possible. The outdoor area is very nice, inside I paid I was not allowed to see.

Beautiful gardens of Uppsala linnean gardens. Walking here in the summer is a true bliss for the soul. Lovely personnel who always know everything that's going on and we're to find the plants you are looking for. Great place to observe the interesting plants of sweden (outside) and from abroad in the greenhouse. In the orangerie there are s broad collection of cactai year around and a big storage area for sensitive plants in the winter (example Carl von Linnés private Laurus nobilis ( bay leaves trees) Visiting the gardens in the winter is a great experience since you can get the treatment of bright lights and tropical climate in the greenhouse. Well worth a visit! Constructions going on 2023-2024 but nothing that is affecting visitors.

A really great collection of tropical plants and some orchids. If you are lucky you could catch a glimpse of the South American poison frogs. They are very small, so you need sharp eyes! The rainforest section is, simply, awesome. A must visit if you are interested in plants.

A must-visit when you go to Uppsala. Beautiful greenhouse with the lotus pond as the highlight. As someone who comes from tropical country, the temperature and humidity feels like home, and it's so nice to see a lot of familiar plants. They also have smaller fish ponds and frogs. A delightful place.

It is trully one of the best Sweden’s greenhouse with so many exotical plants! Worth to visit! And the price is so low, just 50sek/5€/5$. The only thing is that the opening hours can be longer, especially weekends.

An amazing little greenhouse with a great variety of plants and biotopes. Linnaeus would be proud! Friendly staff that are happy to answer questions and offer guided tours throughout the year. Definitely worth a visit if you're into plants, like cute little tree frogs or need somewhere to shelter from the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter!

Such a great place to know about tropical ecosystems and the collection is very exciting! Absolutely love the warmth and humidity, feels like home ❤️

A little piece of tropical paradise to escape to during the long, grey winter. It would be even better if I knew anything about the hundreds of plants growing in there. Free entry for UU students and staff.

A lovely greenhouse, definitely worth the visit.

Nice old house. Can only be viewed by guided tours. There is a nice cafe at the entrance and in good weather you can enjoy sitting in the garden while enjoying coffee and cake.

It is very easy to book a guided tour from their website. Guided tour in English is available once per day at 12.30. The guided tour is perhaps my favorite part of the visit: very interesting facts about the life and works of Linnaeus! Since we visit in early spring not much of the plants has blossomed so it is better to visit in late spring or in summer. Still had a very refreshing walk in the naturreservat around it. The staffs are very helpful as well.

An absolute must-see in Uppsala. If you pay to enter the Linnaeus Garden in the city itself, entry here is free, and vice-versa. The price of a ticket is great value, as both places are not only fascinating, but also incredibly beautiful- utterly breathtaking. You either need to take the bus, a car, or cycle to get here, as there's a bit of a trek, but the countryside is very pleasant and the place is definitely worth it. I have seldom been anywhere so gorgeous! The grounds are utterly charming, with a great little cafe-gift shop as well. Staff are lovely. The house itself is fascinating, and very well-preserved. It helps you get to know the famous botanist and his family rather well. Our English language tour was expertly conducted, and is probably one of the best guided tours I've ever been on. I'm definitely coming back! Tack så mycket!

If you have time when visiting Uppsala in Sweden, try to squeeze in a visit to the Linnaeus' Hammarby located a few minutes from town. Unlike the botanical gardens in town this museum has preserved both the 18th century buildings and the gardens and the park which gives a unique insight to Linnaeus and his work. Well worth a visit

A wonderful place to visit. The oldest building is from the 1500's and the main house is kept as it was when Linnea lived there in the 1700's. The gardens are beautiful.

Beautiful and nicely preserved site. Worth a visit not only if you are interested in biology but also if you are curious about the life at the time. Beware though that the house itself is very kid-unfriendly and the staff is quite unwelcoming. Nothing extraordinary compared to other parts of the world but if you already got spoiled by kid-friendly Sweden, this may come as an unpleasant surprise.

Very nice grounds, and old buildings. Visited on sunny day so enjoyed sitting out for a drink.

A spacious and cozy cafeteria with a wide selection of cakes, as well as a variety of food options. Although I didn’t try the food, the desserts were absolutely delicious. If you’re visiting with a large group, this is definitely a place to consider. The extensive menu ensures there’s something for everyone, and the generous space means you’ll easily find room for your party.

I spent half day in Uppsala, it's quiet and not much tourists. Before I went back Stockholm, I had an afternoon tea there. The cafe inside was doing renovation, but still opened for business. There were a few groups of ladies having small talk. I am sorry that I don't speak Swedish, I spoke English and used body language to order. The staff understood me haha, they didn't speak English (I am not complaining). Overall it was a great experience.

I used to buy cakes occasionally here two years ago and they tasted good. However, today I bought a passionfruit cake for take away when revisiting the city…then found a fly (alive) on the cake in the takeaway box……Things do happen sometimes, so I was trying to tolerate - until the waitress did not apologize or explain or say anything. Instead she only threw away the one with fly, getting another piece of cake from the same plate where there was fly, and gave to me in silence. She also didn’t ask me whether do I want the same kind of cake since there was fly on the plate…Food hygiene needs improvement, and the service needs even more to be improved. Very disappointing experience and will try to avoid purchasing there.

Service ruined the experience. The café itself is nice but despite being the only customers we had to stand and wait for 10 minutes while the barista fiddled with something behind the counter and didn't acknowledge us. When we finally got to order she could only remember one item at a time and so had to go fetch it and add garnish and stuff while we stood and waited just to name the next item. We ordered things that needed to be grilled and everything. She barely said a word throughout the interaction besides asking if we wanted "ice cream or whipped cream" with our desserts without mentioning it's not included.

Love their cheese cake. Good place to have fika with your loved ones

We were 4 people who had a salad and we thought the food was bad (too salty bad ingredients) also the wait time was so long and they got the order confused. Atmosphere is very nice though and i really like the renovation and the free citrus water is very nice.

Super wide variety of cheesecakes. By far the best cheesecake I have eaten in Uppsala, but nothing special. Be careful when you pick a cake because some cakes didn’t look fresh. Hot chocolate was big portion, but just average quality.

I love this place , people are friendly and there is alot of games to play , one of my favourite bars in Uppsala ,good security too and friendly staff members everytime I come to Uppsala i got straight here, loads of fun with friends and new people !

Nice sports bar where you can also play Dartsee and shuffleboard

Great staff, amazing place to hang out. Definitely best place in town!

Top 3 I'm see in Sweden 💪👍

Since this is the only place of its kind in uppsala there's really not much comparison, but the place is unnecessarily expensive and the food is really underwhealming. If you go skip the food it's really not worth the 150sek you'll pay. The place doesn't even have free wifi for crying out loud, I guess they wanted me to pay for it as well. Being so cheap really hurts the reputation of the bar. Go only if you really want to do pool or shuffleboard, otherwise go to an actual bar/restaurant.

Great experience, fantastic sportsbar to chill and relax, lot of gaming opportunities and nice atmosphere,

A very classy nice restaurant, warm welcoming, followed by an excellent service, juicy house burger with homemade sauce was excellent (!). No word to say that it was awesome. Mike's Pizza menu can be another suprise for every one with prizes and test. The service always with a smile and very patient with clients. Meanwhile same time, People can enjoy different live sports in this restaurant, this is best sports bar in Uppsala for those who can enjoy all the moments with friends. Conclusion, if you have the opportunity to go eat there, do not hesitate !

Excellent park with things that kept all kids 1,7 & 9, busy. They loved the sand box, climbing area, swings etc. A little cafe near by provided an excellent spot for ice-cream and the toilets were close by and clean. Lots to do and keep the kids occupied

An absolutely picturesque park. Beautiful walk among flowers and tall trees, plentiful trails, ample seating. Highly recommend a visit here if you enjoy seeing beautiful scenery.

Nice city park for a walk!

Beautiful park which looks, feels, and smells absolutely great during summer time. Perfect for picnicking, dog walking, and just chilling while taking in the sights and fragrances of blooming flowers. I visited the park both in winter and summer, and the transformation is insane. Just don't go into one of the toilets 🚻. There's no water to flush and....I guess you get the rest.

Sweden is generally a beautiful place. But this park was very nice. In fact nice enough for my cousin to get wed 😍

If you ever get a chance go here it is beautiful

Really beautiful and well maintained park. Nice paths for walking, charming environment with colourful flowers and some statuses. The area was very clean. It's a treasure in the center of Uppsala city! I would recommend it for a walk or just go there and relax!

Exceptional place! So many amazing things to do! Great kind helpful staff, always with a smile!

I have read some of the other reviews, and so I will include a disclaimer here that this review is from the perspective of a tourist. My son was very excited to come here for the day. The staff were very friendly, and the place is huge with so many different activities. My son absolutely loved it. We came in the early afternoon on a weekday in June, so it was not very busy. We stayed right until closing at 7pm. I will note that adults do not get to participate, which is unfortunate (for me; though I'll admit in hindsight I am unsure whether I really couldn't participate or if I simply misunderstood that "parents are free" to mean I couldn't 🤔). But otherwise was a great experience.

The place is placed away from the centre, but that's to be expected... Saving coats, but still isn't cheap. Inside one one finds a lot of fun, but not much variety.

Great place! My son enjoyed it and myself included! Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Although it’s an adventure and sport area for kids, however it’s amazing that adults and senior people are also allowed to play and enjoy side by side with their children. Had a lot of fun and unforgettable experience in Turbo sports and Adventure Uppsala Sweden. 🇸🇪

Sad to say this, but the place was amazing and well priced before JumpYard bought it. Every single price has gone up more than 100%. And nothing has been improved. The staff seems less happy too so I guess they get no part of the new revenue. After having spent countless weekends here before the shift in ownership, I am guessing this is the last one.

Horrible party experience that spoiled the birthday day for my son. 1. They request kids who come to birthday party to arrive 20 minutes before it starts. In those 20 minutes the kids get to watch others play but sit still and not enter the place. 2. The only way I could get the party host was to demand that she appears at the reception. It was 1 minute before the official start and the staff did nothing aside from claiming that we should wait. 3. The guard dis not let one of the guests who arrived late in and was rude. Showing the armband that we had left for the guest did help but neither the reception staff nor the party host helped. 4. The same guard was rude to me when I entered the unstaffed reception area to take a band-aid for an injured kid. He refused to provide the band-aid immediately, to say his name and only claimed that I must wait for someone to appear at the reception and ask for a band-aid. The reception is unstuffed over long periods, the place is cash free. The only thing I could have stolen from there were the socks. So that unnamed rude guard was protecting the socks at the expense of an injured kid. If their overall attitude towards safety is in line with this, I believe it is simply dangerous. 5. They don’t have enough climbing equipment, which is a minor issue of course in the light of all the rest. 6. Finally there are no customer service contact details and the booking confirmation is sent from a noreply address

I love this mall as it has most of the things I usually and regularly shop for. The grocery is huge! Not a lot of restaurants. The mall is well maintained.

Awesome shopping center that have famous brands. Clothes, shoes, and daily usage items are available in ICA located inside the shopping mall. There is also a small food court having delicious foods.

A wide variety of personal wear, groceries, gold, cosmetics, shoes, kitchenware, food courts, forex, keysmith services, and all your daily essentials—offered in a beautiful and relaxing environment.

Place changed last years and it's unrecognizable to those remembering it from just few years back. I just to live close by and been there regularly, but since we moved... Now it seems to me as the most modern and well kept place/shopping mall I have seen in Sweden (does not mean I checked all, but seen all in Uppsala anyway). One can find there almost any store one might need and it's pretty pretty too. Negative I would say that it is to spread out for two locations and without a car it's very uncomfortable to move about.

What an amazing mall and do many interesting shops. Of course the children clothes were so cute. Had a Cafe Latte at Expresso👍🤗

The amount of activities you can get to do in one area is unbelievable. From bowling to karaoke to boardgames movies you mention and they have it. They have great bars and nice unique Swedish beverages. They serve with a smile and a very welcoming people. I had a great evening in that place with my friend.

Very nice place with good services and almost u find everything u need. Recommended for family and kids. There are places to charge your phone and relax. Very nice Espresso café on second floor.

The place is nice and offers a lot to play, but it’s incredibly dirty and you have practically to boil your clothes once you are back home. Some fotos below

Nice place for indoor kids activities, but the place was not clean at all,...

Place is surely big enough to contain hundreds of happy kids running around, but as many adults with pain in their wallets. Price of 229kr per child and additional 29 per adult and that's without a locker 🛅 for another 20 is outrageous I would say! This kind of fun should not cost almost 3hundreds. Otherwise it's a nice place. At least stuff was friendly (mainly upptill 25y). However one more thing comes to mind... Confusion about opening 🪟 hours! They say closing time is 19 o'clock daily, however above the entrance is clearly stated 20, so...?!

I’m not exactly sure where to start, this place is a joke to put mildly! I came here with my family, utterly shocked at the lack of cleanliness and lackadaisical attitude of the staff, very disappointed! I found yoghurt spilt on the floor near the dinosaur slide as well as the cannon ball area and spilt drinks near the corridor path leading to the front reception - I notified the staff twice and what did they do? Nothing! Not only is it not clean but it’s a safety hazard as anyone could easily slip and hurt themselves. Will definitely not be revisiting, waste of money! To top it off, they advertise that the place closes at 8pm (on google as well as the large sign plastered outside the entrance, yet they shut at 7pm, when questioned about this we were told they haven’t had a chance to change the sign?!).

The place is not clean, really disgusting. Dirt, chunks of dust everywhere, crumbs of foam rubber as well as used band aids. You can see this everywhere and every time you visit. I have been there for several kids parties and the place is superdirty even when you are there when they open. The garbage bins are superfull. The hallway is chaotic and the floor moist from the people going in. The party hosts just bring the food to the party room no assistance or service, even though some really seem to try to be nice. The last time the carousels were gone, so they just block the area poorly so most of the kids didn't understand it was blocked. They also charge adults which is ridiculous.

Plastic play Park with inside carousel (magic tree with a little laser gun to shoot OR an up and down spinning ride), little bicycles, slides, climbing, ball pits, etc. Basic boring food with no nutrition or taste that took 30-45 minutes before pick up. Kids love and parents can endure, but would be wonderful if we could buy fruit, juice, tea, and other more natural food. Salad was nothing fulfilling or tasteful. Give usgoodfood and we stay longer and spend more. Overall, an option on a dark November day in Uppsala which has very few attractions for its citizens. Kids had a great time! Finally found the bumper cars on the top floor.

They wrote you can leave the child alone leave contact details but when I asked for it they make excuses .

Mashallah the most beautiful mosque in Upssala very beautiful location in heart of Uppsala

Place to worship in uppsala very nice masjid

Very beautiful Masjid. Heart of Centre.

Big & spacious mosque, with high ceiling

It was a very beautiful most with beautiful community. May Allah bless them all.

Come in and pray!

The place that I want to visit oftentimes. It's spacious. The staff and jamaah are nice and warm. They provide drinking water. It has clean environment outside and inside. Just a lovely place!

I was surprised to learn about it on Instagram for the first time. It’s next to the Botanical Garden and it’s placed across two buildings. The entrance for adults is 70sek. It needs a revamp due to not presentations or translations (maybe a bit more interactive?), but the actual taxidermy and general exhibits those were quite interesting!

This is the utmost place where you can learn by seeing about plants and animals

Amazing experience. They have a T-Rex and a pentaceratops (which I didn't know that existed)

With a generic connection of taxidermied animals of varying quality (most seem done around 1880 or so), it's about what you'd expect. The first floor of exhibits of local and worldwide fauna are alright, if a bit dusty. The sparse second floor displays are particularly sad, most of them pale, unrecognizable lumps of flesh floating in jars. But that said, 50 kr gets you onto both the museum of evolution and the dinosaur/mineral exhibits down the road, so it's really alright for the price if you know what to expect-- especially for a small museum. If badly taxidermied animals make you chuckle, you'll probably have a great time!

Worlds most discreet museum? Lived in uppsala for 10 years and visited Botaniska trädgården dozens of times but only found out about this museum when I missclicked on Google maps. O.o

The collections are large, and the information provided is good but often short, so it's a bit of just going on and on looking at a never-ending number of taxidermised animals and old bones. The collections are so diverse, though, that it keeps interest piqued for nearly the entire visit. Don't miss that there are two buildings to visit!

A nice sized museum with a lot of interesting taxidermy and fossils. It would be interesting to see a bit more information posted about some of the exhibits, but it was a fun place to go. I really appreciate that it's free for UU students!

As far as wilderness trails go, this is a pretty mediocre place, with just a few short trails meandering through forest. As a picnic spot, or bird watching locale it's much better! There are two fireplaces with grill equipment and firewood, as well as a lovely view of the small, reed-filled pond where quite a few species of ducks can be found during the summers.

Nice place to walk outside the city

Beautiful, great for families and pets

Peaceful and pretty.

A nice place for the people living in and around the Uppsala area. There are some animals like cows, sheep and goats so it is very nice for the kids. There is plenty of parking.

The best bathing area near Uppsala. You can grill, rent paddle boat or canno. Walk in the forrest. Also toilets, changing rooms, restaurant, hire rooms.

Quite crowded, but the campsite was quite ok

Vildmarkesleden trail was lovely. Some parts quite hilly and muddy but views are wonderful. Not too advanced.

There are a parking lot available in the front of the area, then the animals on the way to the main recreational area nearby to the water. There are designated spots for BBQ, if you are lucky u can get one. There are wc and tap drink water nearby the water were the WC. Restaurants are closed du Covid19. Sweming and fishing are in the front, hiking trails on the back of the water areas. Take hand sop and toilet papers because there is nothing there.

We walked around the lake Ramsen, 4.5 km, very nice path (Vildmarksled on the map of Fjällnora) leading through diverse terrain.

Favourite in the area. Can be a bit too busy but you can find quieter spots. Great for renting boats and canoes.
