Audio Guide of Frösö Zoo

Frösö Zoo is open from May to September from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and in winter with reduced hours; I recommend checking the official website for exact dates. To get there, cross the bridge from Östersund to the island of Frösön, which is only a 10-minute drive away, or take local bus number 1. More info at www.frosozoo.se.

Adult admission costs around 150 SEK, children aged 3-15 pay 80 SEK, and it is free for children under 3; families can get a 350 SEK package. There are discounts for groups and holders of the Jämtland card. Buy your tickets online at the official website to avoid queues.

It is recommended to allow at least 2-3 hours to see all the animals and exhibits without rushing. If you want to take part in guided activities or feeding sessions, plan for about 4 hours. It is a compact zoo, ideal for a relaxed morning or afternoon visit.

Founded in 1951, Frösö Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in Sweden and focuses on the conservation of native northern European and exotic species, while promoting environmental education. Located on the island of Frösön, rich in Viking history, it combines nature and culture to highlight the biodiversity of Jämtland. Visit it to understand its role in protecting local wolves and bears.

Summer, from June to August, is ideal when the animals are most active and the weather is sunny for enjoying the outdoors. Choose early morning (around 10:00 AM) to avoid crowds and see the feedings. In winter, nighttime visits with lights are magical, but dress warmly.

Yes, most of the paths and main areas are wheelchair accessible, and there are ramps at the key exhibits; free wheelchairs are available at the entrance. Contact +46 63 12 65 00 for special arrangements or more details. The terrain is mostly flat, making it easy to get around.

Nearby, explore Lake Storsjön for boat rides or Jamtli Museum, a 15-minute drive away, which showcases Sami and Viking history. Do not miss central Östersund with its wooden architecture and local markets. For more ideas, visit www.ostersund.se.
