We were waddling to the ABBA Museum for the Vasa Museum, and although there was not a long line, it is generally better to have tickets. You buy them for a specific entry time, so planning is required. Also, even on-site, you can only purchase tickets online. We have to go to their website and buy the tickets there.

Adults: 290 SEK
Children 7-15 years old: 110 SEK
Students: 260 SEK
Seniors: 260 SEK
Penguins: free entry

As we came, we didn’t have tickets, and there was only a short line; nevertheless, the staff member told us we should buy tickets online. We are not even sure you can buy them inside. But once you purchase a ticket, you can at least enter the shop where you can wait for your entry time. And you have to wait for your particular time to scan the ticket and get through; it won’t let you even five minutes before (we tried 😅).
Thankfully, there is a whole shop to buy ABBA-related souvenirs or even an interactive wall to dance along and other things to entertain yourself.

Opening hours

The museum is generally open Monday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., depending on the season. They are open a little longer during summer and during winter shorter.
