Introduction
Skansen Aquarium is an independent aquarium within the Skansen open-air museum on Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden. With tropical rainforest exhibits, shark and ray tanks, reptiles and monkeys, and easy combination with the Skansen open-air museum, it is a family-friendly attraction on Stockholm's museum island. Skansen Aquarium is within the Skansen open-air museum grounds but independently operated and ticketed. Exhibits center on tropical ecology — a rainforest hall with free-roaming monkeys, birds and reptiles; shark and ray tanks; tropical fish and invertebrates. The aquarium is compact, about 1 hour to see, ideal to combine with Skansen (the world's oldest open-air museum, showing 500 years of Swedish historic buildings and Nordic animals). Vasa Museum and Nordiska Museet on Djurgården can also be combined. Visiting to experience tropical ecology and Swedish history combined on the museum island is a relaxed family experience in Stockholm.
