The family went to Kolmården, Stockholm’s safari last weekend. I think it could be 3 times the size of the Singapore Zoological Gardens but with perhaps fewer animals The entry ticket also costs 3 times more!!! The zoo is closed during winter time as some of the animals go into hibernation.
The animals just have more space to roam around. It was a great experience as we saw many Scandinavian animals (elk, reindeer, antelopes, deers) gorillas, the big brown bear plus the usual suspects. They used to allow cars to go around the safari but now replaced it with a cable car that allows visitors to come up close and personal with the animals. Plus many playgrounds for children to burn more energy.
Definitely worth the one hour drive out into the country side. The great thing about the zoo, from a Singaporean’s viewpoint, was that I actually spent 7 hours out there and not perspire at all. But having said that, I really miss the Singapore Zoo and am really really proud of it! Nichlas thinks that many zoos in the world are really trying to replicate our Singapore Zoological Gardens.
Kolmården definitely deserves a 5 stars rating!

Wonderful to see nature – greens & animals – living today. At this rate of your sightseeing, you will probably see more of Sweden in a year than Swedes do in a lifetime! Keep it up 🙂
