Furuviksparken is a multi-purpose destination situated on the Baltic coast that integrates a zoological park, an amusement park, and a seasonal water park. The zoo focuses on primates, including chimpanzees and orangutans, and is involved in international conservation breeding programs.

The on-site water park features multiple pools and slides, typically operating during the warmer months. The grounds also host a concert stage that frequently features notable Swedish and international musical acts throughout the summer season.
