Images of the Tropikariet zoo in Helsingborg, Sweden
We visited the Tropikariet zoo and aquarium in March of 2018 and found it an absolutely must visit place in Helsingborg. We loved seeing the animals up closed and learning about them, we loved the aquariums with fish that we could touch, we loved the fact that kids can run around, crawl and climb in special zones. We also found the hot dogs in the cafe to be delicious :)

Photos of the Yoump trampoline park in Helsingborg, Southern Sweden
We visited the Yoump trampoline park in Helsingborg in March 2018. The park limits the time a visitor may spend on trampolines, by creating "jumping sessions". This is good way to manage crowds and there are always staff present in the park, insuring the rules are followed. The special lights come on for a portion of the session and create a festive atmosphere. There is a cafe and a small gift shop on the premises. Birthday parties can be organized at the park.
