History: From idea to Scandinavia’s largest water park
Skara Sommarland was founded in 1984 by Bert Karlsson but has had different owners for the past 20 years. Today, the park is part of Parks and Resorts Scandinavia, which also owns Kolmården Zoo, Gröna Lund, and Furuvik. The park has put Skara on the map, and many of our guests refer to the water park simply as “Skara”. Common questions we receive include: When does Skara open? What does it cost to enter Skara? and How do I find Skara? These questions typically refer to the amusement park, not the town itself.
