Liseberg: General Discussion

Has anyone who’s been recently clocked how much a Liseberg bunny is and what sizes they come in? Asking for a chimp…

Was just there the other day but I didn't look at the price of the bunnys. However I do know that the bunny ears were 79 Krona (£5.90) as I bought my daughter a pair and she wore them throughout the whole trip. The fluffy bunny purses they sell are also really nice.
 
Anyone been to Liseberg recently with EP pass (or any other freebie pass), can you get entry sorted with an EP pass at the hotel entrance side of the park? Or would you have to walk round to the main entrance? Or is this something even the hotel could do? We are staying on site.

it’s been many years since I last went and that was way before they had a hotel.

Though I got burned and literally just got free entrance and they made me pay 520sek for wristband which certainly isn't the intension of the offer just to warn
 
Just returned from Liseberg and it’s my favourite international park so far (I’ve only done 4 so not much of a sample I know).

Loved the place, the rides were great, the bunnies are cute, the size of the candyfloss was good value, the food was tasty, twinkly lights everywhere, absolutely loved it, I was in Alix Heaven. Balder is the best thing there, closely followed by helix and I found uppswingert scary in a very good way. Oh and the company was ok I guess @Poisson @Leigh 😁

The only fly in the otherwise perfect ointment was Helix queue closing so early - I know they do this, but we just timed it wrong unfortunately and it was a shame.

Would go back tomorrow if funds allowed. 10/10.
 
I seem to recall their polyp being run on a Chernobyl cycle. "Not great, not terrible." So only time will tell.
 
Sorry to briefly hijack this thread with trip planning questions…

But we are planning to go to Liseberg this Spring, and the only dates that work for us are over Easter weekend (April 18 - 20). Can anyone offer any insight into how busy it may be? I tend to avoid visiting parks on public holidays, but not sure how big a deal Easter is in Sweden!

We will only spend one day on park - do you think the Saturday is a safer bet than Easter Sunday itself?
 
Just had a quick look at the crowd calendars on QueueTimes.com for you and it seems the park hasn't opened for Easter weekend before, at least not in the last 8 years which is as far as those calendars go back. Easter's pretty late this year which probably explains why their opening weekend coincides with a public holiday.

On a hunch, I'd expect it to be very busy - my last visit to Liseberg was the final weekend of the summer season (a 'normal' though unseasonably warm September weekend) and it was pretty packed. You can do reasonably well at Liseberg making use of the free virtual queuing service but on busy days those slots are hard to get especially for larger groups. Being in the heart of the city it seems a lot of the locals just flock there to hang out and try to win giant chocolate bars, so the park will probably be at capacity. It's a bit of an unknown with no historic data available, but it feels like a gamble to me.

From what I've heard you might do better to visit in the summer holidays, as a lot of the locals leave the cities and head out to their summer residences in the countryside.
