20 July 2011 – A fun-filled day with the family!
It wasn’t actually my first time to visit the Furuvik Zoo and Amusement Park in Gävle. I was there in August of 2010 however, I somehow skipped publishing a post about that great day here on my blog. [I wonder why…]
So, anyhoo… as planned, the gang [I, Bebe, Mama Lena, Anders, Micke, Louise, Julia and a friend, Denise, Emma and a friend, Stig and Magnhild] met at Furuvik’s parking area at past 10 in the morning, paid the parking tickets [35 Swedish crowns for the entire day] and made our way to the entrance gate. T’was not that far though. If I guessed it right, it was 30-40 meters away from where the cars were stationed. Not bad, ‘eh?
Admissions:
Adult: 195 Swedish crowns [SEK] per person [+/-30USD, +/-1,300Php]
Children from 3-12 years old: 165SEK [+/-25USD, +/-1,100Php]
Children below 3 years old: free
Amusement ride fees:
Ride pass [Unlimited rides] 195SEK per person [+/-30USD, +/-1,300Php]
Children below 3 years old: Free but must be accompanied by a paying adult

My 2010 and 2011 Furuvik experiences have been excellent! We’re planning to visit it every year. I can’t wait to get back there in 2012! Oh yeah!

I'm so glad to get on, Maxi..for awhile, for some reason, I wasn't able to download your blog. Couldn't figure out why but, at last, here you are on my computer and what a fun post. I just love all the pictures! Seems like this Furuvik Zoo and Amusement Park is a wonderful spot for children of ALL ages! The animal shots are great and I loved that you included many of you having fun. My favorite, of course, is that very scrumptious looking ice cream cone! It was huge.
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by and sharing some love! You're lovely!
