Published November 22, 2023 / Updated September 11, 2026
There’s no such thing as bad weather... Especially not in Örebro. The list of fun indoor activities is both long and wonderful. Check out these tips and plan something fun with friends and family.

Lots of activities at Pitchers

At Pitchers, you’ll find a wide variety of activities suitable for all ages. Options include bowling, a golf simulator, pool, darts, karaoke, arcade games, “On Air,” and shuffleboard. Why not challenge the whole family to a triathlon and finish off with a burger or something else delicious from the menu?

How about a game of boules?

Bring your family and friends for a game of boules in the French-inspired setting at Boulebar. Perhaps followed by a dinner in the style of a southern French bistro?

Bowling is always a hit

The number one family favorite is, of course, bowling. In Örebro, you can go bowling at Pitcher’s and Classic Bowl.

A brain-teaser in an escape room

An exciting adventure filled with mysteries, puzzles, ciphers, and secret codes. At Fagerlinds Tid (located in the Makeri building), you’ll get to challenge yourselves, work as a team, and race against the clock. Will you make it out before time runs out?

Indoor go-karting

Step on the gas! At Gokart by Jympyard, you can challenge each other in electric go-karts. We have go-karts suitable for both children and adults.

Relax at Gustavsvik

Great food, refreshing cocktails, and a relaxing atmosphere. At Gustavsvik’s relaxation area, you’ll find a lounge, a hot tub, a steam room, a dry sauna, and a bar to enjoy. It brightens up even the grayest of days.

PLEASE NOTE! Lost City, the fitness pool, and the relaxation area will be closed for renovations from September 1 through early 2027. The campground, cabins, and gym will remain open as usual.

Jumpyard Trampoline Park

Jumpyard is a large trampoline park with challenges for everyone. In addition to trampolines, there’s rock climbing, go-karts, SkyRider, a ninja course, Wipe Out, and tons of other fun activities. You’re guaranteed to work up a sweat here.

Climbing is fun and challenging for all ages.

Indoor Climbing

At Örebro Klättergym and Tegelbruket, there are climbing walls for all ages and skill levels. Here you’ll find walls for both bouldering (where you climb without ropes or other equipment) and rope climbing.

Adventure Water Park in a Jungle Setting

A water-filled adventure awaits at Lost City in Gustavsvik. Swim among ruins, palm trees, waterfalls, lagoons, wave pools, and swimming pools. Be sure to try out some of Sweden’s longest water slides.

PLEASE NOTE! Lost City, the fitness pool, and the relaxation area will be closed for renovations from September 1 through early 2027. The campground, cabins, and gym will remain open as usual.

Museums for curious people of all ages
