In the summer, Slottsskogen park is filled with sunbathers and coffee-drinking locals. There is a pool with seals, and you can watch them being fed at 2p. At Barnens Zoo the children can learn to play with animals in a respectful way. Refresh yourself at one of the several cafés. For the young children there is playground Plikta. Slottskogen is located next to Linnéplatsen, not very far from Gothenburg's city centre. Tram 1 and 2 go to Linnéplatsen, or you can take tram 7 to Botaniska Trädgården.
