    The funfair area

    When you bought your ticket, you had the option to book a time to visit Tivolilandet. You have free access to all the rides in the funfair for four hours after your booked starting time.

    When you arrive at the park, you’ll be given a wristband for the rides. The colour of the wristband will show whether you have chosen an afternoon visit or a morning visit. With the wristband, you can go in and out of Tivolilandet as much as you want during your time slot.

    Accommodation

    What rules apply to advance booking for guests who have booked accommodation?

    This year we’ve introduced many exciting new features at Skara Sommarland. These include the option of booking the express queue for our new ride Snake, booking a morning or afternoon visit to Tivolilandet, and booking your entrance time.

    If you’ve booked accommodation, you don’t need to book a half day visit to our funfair in advance. Instead, you can choose when you arrive at the entrance whether you want to visit Tivolilandet in the morning or the afternoon. You don’t need to book an entrance time to the park. Instead, you simply enter the park when you want through the campsite entrance on the day or days when you are visiting. In addition, you won’t have the option of booking the express queue for Snake. But don’t worry – you’re still free to use the ordinary queue and go on Snake all day long!

    You’ll receive a confirmation email after booking your accommodation. You can view your accommodation booking on My Pages at www.sommarland.se

    Guests with disabilities must bring certification of their disability and display it at the entrance. The certificate should include your name and a brief description of your special needs.

If you have difficulty getting into and out of a ride, you may remain on the ride until it starts up again (for a maximum of three consecutive times). The personal attendant/assistant should help the disabled guest to get into and out of the ride. Some rides (e.g. Gruvbanan, Spinner and Vikingen) have steps or uneven surfaces.
