Description
Slottsskogen is a 137 hectares large park located in central Gothenburg. When Gothenburg was founded in the 17th century, the area of Slottsskogen was a forest that belonged to (the old) Älvsborg Fortress. In the 1880s the city had grown to the vicinity of the forest, and the merchant August Kobb took initiative to create the city park, which has the character of an English garden with lawns and trees.
Slottsskogen contains Barnens Zoo and Djurgårdarna, an animal park with farm animals, elk, deer and other Swedish animals and birds. Feeding time at the seal pond is 14:00 daily. And there is a Swedish heritage area with small cottages from different counties, a playground for softball, Frisbee golf and so forth.
