Adventure or relaxing family days?

In Skara, you’ll find everything from action-packed experiences at Skara Sommarland to more relaxed family activities, like a cultural walk with Birger the Owl from the Book Adventure. Whether you’re ready for big adventures or prefer quality time at a slower pace, there’s something here for everyone.

Adventure mini golf

Play adventure golf on a grand scale! At Skara Konsthotell, you can perfect your putting skills on a gently rolling course surrounded by water, greenery, and Kinnekulle stone.

Skara Sommarland

Four million litres of water fun, an amusement park, and go-karting – Sommarland is a place for children and adults who never want the fun to end. Want to stay and splash for days? There’s also a campsite with cabins and pitches for motorhomes, caravans, and tents.

Bokäventyret - The book adventure

Visit the old library in Skara and explore Sweden’s first interactive exhibition about the history of books and writing. The whole family can join the Book Adventure through play and creative stations – from runestones and the art of printing to children’s and young adult literature through the ages.

Varnhem - a family friendly historic sight

In Varnhem, you’ll find a monastery church, monastery ruins, and a protective structure over Sweden’s oldest church – and learn all about the lives of the monks who lived here. There are also shorter walking trails suitable for families who want to explore nature in an easy and enjoyable way.
