Plan your school visit

The Linnaean Gardens are a perfect excursion for anyone wishing to learn more about nature and are part of Uppsala's history. We have shows for all ages, from children in preschool to young people in lower and upper-secondary school.

Gardens in three locations

The Linnaeus Garden with the Linnaeus Museum lie in central Uppsala, just north of the library. The Botanical Garden is directly west of Uppsala Castle. Linnaeus' Hammarby is in the parish of Danmark, about 15 km southeast of Uppsala.

Booking a school activity

Let our education officers take your school class or preschool group on a guided tour of our gardens and glasshouses, our historic environments, or around Linnaeus’s homes and gardens. You can also book an activity session for your school in the Botanical Garden, the Linnaeus Garden, the Linnaeus Museum or at Linnaeus’ Hammarby.

A guided tour takes about 45 minutes. To get the most out of the tour the group should not exceed 20 students. For planting and other activities, the group size should not exceed 12 children.

Please, always book your visit in advance.
