Summer isn’t over yet at Stockholm’s oldest amusement park. It’s hanging on stubbornly until 11 September, when Hooja takes to the Main Stage and sees out the season in suitably forest-rave fashion. But then, then it’s autumn. And autumn at Grönan means one thing: pumpkins, blood and more demons than is really reasonable.
On 9 October at 16.00, the gates open for Halloween at Gröna Lund, and this year’s list of new additions is a long one. The haunted house Sekten is back in an upgraded form – “Sekten – demonernas återkomst” – and the fire show has been joined by lasers and smoke. Three fire performers, moving lights and an expression described as rave-inspired.
For those with children in tow, there are calmer surroundings. At the Lilla Området, Gnuttdisco awaits, along with a brand-new children’s show in which the Gnutts’ arch-enemy, the Gnutt eater, makes their first appearance. And for a fika break: candied apples and a ghost waffle, essentially a spooky ice cream served in a cone.
Halloween runs on weekends, throughout the autumn half-term and for an extra weekend in November, with the final day on 8 November. Tickets cost from SEK 465 for adults and children aged nine and over, and SEK 365 for younger children, and include unlimited access to both rides and haunted houses.
(And for those already looking ahead to next summer at Grönan: on 22 June 2027, Take That will take to the Main Stage – the first act booked for next year’s Grönan Live.)
