Fun activities in Stockholm

Build-A-Bear Workshop grows in Sweden, giving families even more chances to create their own furry friends. Alongside its shop-in-shop locations at XS Leksaker in Mall of Scandinavia and Täby Centrum, Build-A-Bear has now opened its first standalone flagship store – right in the heart of Stockholm’s Gallerian. Here, visitors of all ages are invited on a playful, imaginative journey where they can build their own stuffed animal and experience the magical heart ceremony – from choosing a favorite character to adding sound effects, tiny outfits, and personal touches that make each bear one of a kind.

The collection includes both timeless favorites and exclusive designs inspired by Swedish culture. Throughout the year, new themed releases arrive – from Halloween and Christmas to Valentine’s Day – so there’s always something new to discover. Build-A-Bear Workshop is more than just a store. It’s a place for joy, creativity, and shared memories – a place where every visit ends with a new friend to take home. Because at its heart, Build-A-Bear has always been about one thing: bringing a little more heart to life.

100% action guaranteed as you can see, so get ready for a super fun adventure. And getting here is easy – you can go here by bus, subway, tram, and car.

Sweden’s amazing capital has much beauty to offer, and among the most magical is the Stockholm archipelago with its 30,000 islands. Exploring the archipelago is a great activity in Stockholm, whether you’re looking for a cozy day trip or a multi-day island hopping. With sun and swimming mixed with nature experiences and pier hangouts (and perhaps kayaking?), it can’t be anything but a success.

The easiest and quickest way to reach the archipelago is to visit Fjäderholmarna, Stockholm’s closest archipelago island. The boat ride from the city center takes only 30 minutes and offers a fantastic view of the town and the water. When you arrive, there are many things to see and do. Stroll through the archipelago environment, check out picturesque buildings, shop for fine crafts, relax on sunny rocks, and take a swim at the island’s beaches. If you get hungry, there are several good restaurants and cafés.

The facility has 13 exciting escape rooms and VR experiences. How about escaping from the Russian mafia, traveling through time, going on an adventure in the jungle, or experiencing a thrilling hunt in a horror-filled Horror Escape? Several of the experiences are also adapted for teenagers or children so that everyone can join in the fun. Whether you’re organizing a bachelorette party, bachelor party, birthday celebration, kid’s birthday party, or team building, Questrooms is guaranteed to be a hit.

Few activities give you the same summer feelings as mini-golf. Grabbing the club, putting up the golf ball, and challenging friends or family to an exciting tournament. And if you want to play mini golf in Stockholm, you should go to Golfbaren, the city’s most versatile venues, founded by a former world champion in golf. There are five facilities around the Stockholm area where you can play mini golf on high-quality courses, both outdoors and indoors.

The three outdoor facilities are open from May to September and are real summer oases. Aspudden and Kristineberg are among the city’s most classic miniature golf courses, dating back to the 1950s, and in Nacka Strand, you can play with a view of the Stockholm archipelago as a backdrop. All facilities also offer good food, and drink and ice cream in connection with the courses. If you experience a craving for mini golf even during the winter months, Golfbaren also has two indoor facilities in Vasastan and Sundbyberg. In addition to great courses, there are also restaurants and bars – perfect for warming up before the match or for a chat after the winner has been crowned. In short, you get the complete mini-golf experience here.

In addition to ghost walks (see starting points on the website), Stockholm Ghost Walk also offers the show Spirit of the Glass (in Swedish). It’s a show that mixes illusion, storytelling, psychological manipulation, and misdirection – where the audience also participates in the events. Thrilling is an understatement. So if you’re looking for activities in Stockholm with lots of both creepiness and entertainment, few can match Stockholm Ghost Walk.

Äventyrsbanan is a perfect activity for individuals, companies (popular for team building and kickoffs), associations, and school classes who want to do something different, have fun, and socialize in one of the city’s finest forests. What’s more, you can combine the activity with a meal or a party – there are several barbecue areas for picnics (and you can even hire your own chef). And if you want to finish in the best way, end the experience with the cozy wood-fired sauna, scenically located by a lake.

At Inferno Online you can play virtually all popular games available on the market. Players of all ages are welcome, and the environment is calm and comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. It’s a nice and social way to LAN. The facilities are open seven days a week from morning to late evening (book in advance or drop in) and during the weekends they also organize “night gibs” where you can play all night. And for children’s birthday parties, Inferno Online is a safe bet. A complete gaming experience with food, drinks, and games will easily make the kids happy.
