Easter holiday

Easter holiday at Nordens Ark

Exciting days for the whole family at Nordens Ark!

Welcome to us during the Easter break!

On April 12th we open the park for the season and of course we have exciting programs in the park with the animals throughout the Easter break.

We are also opening the doors to our newly renovated amphibian department on the upper floor of the Wetland House - The Amphibian Ark! More information about the opening will be coming soon.

You can find the program with the animals in the park - day by day - further down the page.

Drawing workshop at Nordens Ark April 12

Come and draw frogs, toads and maybe an iguana together with illustrator Mattias Olsson.

A 3-hour exciting drawing course at Nordens Ark for children and teeanagers over 10 years old, where we first go out and look at the motifs before it's time to create artwork!

Discover the park on your own

The Explorer Backpack

Discover the park on your own with the help of our explorer backpack. You can rent the backpack in our entrance during the park visit.

In the backpack you will find the log book - where there are tasks to be solved in the park, you can keep the book as a memory of the visit to Nordens Ark. In addition to the log book, there are also binoculars, a magnifying glass and a compass to help you solve the tasks.

The backpack costs SEK 50 to rent and you can have more children on the backpack where everyone gets their own log book.
The backpack is best suited for children aged 5-13 years (with a little help from an adult for the smaller children).
