Grona Lund, Stockholm

Grona Lund, Stockholm (Sweden)

Grona Lund or colloquially Gronan is an amusement park in Stockholm Sweden. Located on the seaward side of Djurgarden Island it is relatively small compared to other amusement parks mainly because of its central location which limits expansion. The 3.8-ha amusement park has over 30 attractions and is a popular venue for concerts in the summer. It was founded in 1883 by James Schultheiss. The parks location is unique in the sense that most of the buildings are old residential and commercial structures from the 19th century. The buildings were not built for the park instead the park was built around the buildings. The park has three different entertainment venues Dansbanan Grona Lundsteatern and Stora Scenen.
