The Kulturmagasinet consists of four old harbour warehouses in the Stone City of Sundsvall, which were glazed over in 1986 to form today's cultural centre. It houses Sundsvall city library, Sundsvall Museum, a café, the Medelpad Archive and much more. It offers culture for everyone, with special activities aimed at children throughout the year.

Galtström is located at what once was Medelpad's first, largest and last ironworks, along the coast south of Sundsvall. A visit to Galtström is like a journey through time. In the wonderful environment you can feel the wing beat of history, ride a steam train, wander in nature, or take a dip in the sea from cliffs and sandy beaches. The site includes a restaurant, a playground, fascinating ruins, and is very child-friendly. SCA, which owns and manages the ironworks, offers guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer.

Located in Maksimir Park, the Zagreb Zoo can provide a day full of fun for the whole family. It is home to more than 2,000 animals from all over the world, including leopards, chimpanzees, pandas, and camels.

Created through the valiant efforts of community volunteers, Desert Awareness Park is 26 acres of educational and outstanding natural wealth. There are self-guided tours through the Park to allow for exploration of the land’s desert plants and flowers. Significant changes can be seen through the seasons: autumn brings lush leaves, winter brings flowers, seeds, and berries, and spring brings a bounty of cacti with delightfully colored flowers. Ramadas and barbecues enable visitors to enjoy lunch in the outdoors, and there’s a playground for the kids.
