Liseberg

Liseberg AB operates Liseberg amusement park, in the centre of Gothenburg. The amusement park opened during Gothenburg's 300th anniversary exhibition in 1923, and has been owned by the City of Gothenburg ever since. Today, the amusement park has 40 rides and attractions, as well as games, games of fortune, music stages, a dance floor, indoor arenas and a large number of restaurants and cafés - all set in green parkland. There is accommodation close to the amusement park, comprising a hotel, cabins, camping and bed & breakfast. The accommodation facilities are open all year round, as is the Rondo show venue. The amusement park has three seasons: the summer season, which runs from April to mid-October; the Halloween season, when the park is open for a week during the autumn break; and Christmas at Liseberg, which starts in mid-November and continues until New Year. Liseberg is also open for conferences and corporate events all year round. Liseberg takes great pride in ensuring that the park offers something for all its guests. For the youngest of all there is Rabbit Land, full of wonderful rides that make you a little dizzy, and for older kids and brave adults there are Liseberg's challenging world-class rides, such as Helix, Balder, AtmosFear and Mechanica. Liseberg also organises many concert s, and during summer there is a wide selection of daily performances, from popular Gothenburg bands on the Taubescenen stage, to international stars on the Stora Scenen stage - all included in the admission price. Polketten dance floor also offers the opportunity to dance or take dancing lessons almost every day of the week. The traditional Scandinavian pleasure garden from which Liseberg grew is lovingly preserved in the gardens and planted areas, with exuberant flower beds surrounding green spaces that are perfect for a picnic. The wide range of entertainment, cosy cafés and high-quality restaurants combine to create a setting that also appeals to guests who are not fans of fast rides. Liseberg is a wholly owned subsidiary of Göteborg Stadshus AB, which is directly owned by the City of Gothenburg. The company has about 380 full-time employees and 2,400 seasonal employees and has got annual sales of approximately SEK 1.1 billion.
