Avoid This Disaster Dressed Up as a Theme Park

Where to begin with Furuviksbadet? Perhaps with the promised discount that magically vanished at the entrance, like the rest of their customer service. Or maybe with the €9 (yes, nine euros) broken lockers for valuables—because nothing says “family fun” like paying premium prices to play Russian roulette with your belongings.

Now, let’s talk staffing. Or rather, the complete absence of it. Want a soda by the pool? Get ready to stand in a 45-minute queue while watching one exhausted teenager juggle ten tasks. Two of the park’s restaurants were closed without explanation, leaving the rest so overflowing with desperate, sunburned visitors that finding a seat required either brute force or a miracle.

The ride system? Oh, it’s brilliant—if you enjoy chaos. They boast an “express line” called Jetline, which in practice is just as slow as the regular queue, only with a fancier name. Efficiency, clearly, is not a concept they’ve encountered.

And just to spice things up, nearly half the staff spoke neither Swedish nor English. A multilingual experience, I suppose, though mainly in the language of confusion and shrugs.

Furuviksbadet isn’t just a letdown—it’s a full-blown insult. A festering, overcrowded, underdelivering cash-grab pretending to be a theme park. Even if entry were free (it’s not—it’s criminally overpriced), I’d still advise you to run far, far away. If you’re craving fun, try Leksands Sommarland or Gröna Lund—you know, places that aren’t complete dumpster fires.

To sum up: Furuviksbadet is a sweaty, broken-down, language-barrier-filled nightmare. Steer clear unless you enjoy being overcharged to suffer.

I'm actually glad I didn't read the reviews here before booking our tickets to Furuvik, if I had, we might have skipped it, and that would have been a real shame. Honestly, I don’t understand the negative reviews at all.

I visited with my 4 year old daughter, and we had an amazing time. The park was clean, beautiful, and full of thoughtful details for kids. The rides were great, and there were no lines at all (we went on a weekday). We enjoyed the theater, saw lots of animals, rode almost all rides, and spent plenty of time in nature. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience for us.

Sure, the food could be cheaper, but that’s pretty much standard for any amusement park.

In my opinion, Furuvik is far better than Gröna Lund. You don’t need overpriced single tickets for rides that are over in seconds. We arrived at 11 and didn’t leave until 8 in the evening, it was definitely worth the money. Also, every staff member we interacted with was kind and helpful.

All in all, a fantastic day. We’d absolutely go back.

Wow what a huge disappointment! We do NOT recommend. Stay clear and save your money.

Summary:

1. Incredibly boring rides. Moat of the attractions are slow and boring, but they still have 120-140 cm lower limit. That means that most kids under 7-8 can not ride most of it. I mean, minimum 120 cm to drive the slowest, most boring radiocars you have ever seen. Why? We have visited parks all over Europe, and they all allow smaller kids in those.

2. We saw almost no animals.. do they even have any? Really boring. I'd say scam.

3. The rides that actually have 140 cm lower limit are slow and boring except 2 rides wich actually are a bit fun. But that's not enough to justify the entrance price.
4. Swimming area. Old. Worn out. Really dirty water. 24 degrees Celcius water. Kids had blue lips after 10 minutes.

3.

A place to visit if you really hate animals. Shoot first and think later seems to be this park’s motto .they are Killing animals and defending the action over and over again in opposite to what every chimpanzee zoologist are saying and that with a complete lack of some kind of responsiveness and empathy
