Audio Guide of Uppsala Museum of Evolution and Zoology

The museum, located at Norbyvägen 16 in Uppsala (the Kåbo area), is generally open Tuesday to Sunday from 12:00 to 16:00. I recommend checking for holiday changes directly on its official website before you go.

Adult admission usually costs around 60 SEK, but entry is completely free for children and young people up to age 18, as well as for Uppsala University students and staff. Keep in mind that it is a cash-free museum; they only accept cards.

To explore the Zoology section and the impressive Paleontology hall at a relaxed pace, I suggest setting aside between 60 and 90 minutes. It is a content-rich museum, ideal for an enriching visit without being exhausting.

This place houses Scandinavia’s largest collection of authentic dinosaur skeletons and zoological specimens dating back to the 17th century. It is a historic pillar of Uppsala University and a scientific landmark in northern Europe.

The best option is to go on a weekday right at opening time (12:00), when the atmosphere is calmer. Weekends and Swedish school holidays usually bring more families and children.

Yes, the Zoology building is equipped with ramps and elevators to make access easier for wheelchairs and strollers. You can check specific accessibility details on the Uppsala University website.

You are located right next to the beautiful Uppsala Botanical Garden, perfect for a walk after the museum. In addition, the imposing Uppsala Cathedral and the Castle are within pleasant walking distance.

Start with the dinosaur hall, which is the most visually striking part, and make sure your phone is charged. To understand the story behind each bone without missing anything, using a good audio guide is the best investment for your visit.
