At the nature reserve Silverfallet-Karlsfors, an impressive waterfall pours down over the rocks. The falls are most popular in the spring when the water level is at its highest. The area is rich in rare flora and perfect for a Sunday outing. You can also see remains from the biggest alum operation in Skaraborg, which was abandoned in 1856.

Space Center Houston, the official visitor center for NASA’s Johnson Space Center, brings the excitement of space exploration to life with interactive exhibits, real spacecraft, and hands-on experiences. Get up close with a moon rock, see spacesuits worn by astronauts, and explore the history of human spaceflight through engaging films and artifacts. Don’t miss the tram tour—it takes you behind the scenes to Mission Control, where NASA guided Apollo missions and still oversees the International Space Station. You’ll also stop by the Astronaut Training Facility and Rocket Park, home to a massive Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful ever built.

Set within the Sea Garden, Detski Kat has been keeping children entertained since 2002. With 28 attractions covering everything from rides and inflatables to games and activities, it caters to a fairly wide age range, though toddlers and younger children tend to get the most out of it. Safety is taken seriously, with staff trained accordingly and the park certified to international standards. For parents, there is a pleasant upside: the surrounding greenery and relative quiet make it an easy place to linger over a coffee while the children burn off energy. Prices are reasonable, it runs year-round, and the Sea Garden setting means you are never just staring at tarmac and fencing. If you are travelling with small children, it is one of the more straightforward wins the city has to offer.
