Dalsland Moose Ranch – Entry & Feeding Experience

Did you know that the mighty moose is the largest species of deer? And how does cliamte change affect the moose? Learn interesting facts and experience this wonderful creature up close at Dalslands Moose Ranch. The park is located in a natural 10-hectar forest and in the middle of Dalsland's quiet nature, which makes the activity perfect for nature lovers. Bring your children so they can share in the unique experience of watching the "king of the forest" being fed.

Witness the park's 10 young moose live in a natural environment.  

The animal keeper knows best when and what to feed the animals and guides you through the experience. The moose enter the feeding area from their big forest when they are hungry, and are then served twigs, branches or snacks for up to 40 minutes by the guides! This is the best time to get really close to them and make your kids understand how to observe and respect wild animals. 

Get your camera out and capture this golden moment from the feeding session, but make sure you don't disturb the animals while doing so. When the moose are well fed, they retreat to rest a bit. When they are lying on the grass they can digest the food, so at this time it is recommended that you leave them alone and watch from a distance over the fence.

• Experience feeding friendly animals and learn more about their diet, natural behavior and biology.
• Enjoy our small "Fact Forest" and "Kids Forest" area 
• Stroll through the park on public trails and around the nearby forest.
• The feeding duration is 30 to 40 minutes and happens in the presence of a guide or keeper.

Dogs are not allowed in the park or close to the house as they will scare the moose away into the forest.

Feedings are at specific times and when the moose have eaten they will lay down and digest their food. They can still be seen when entering the moose park but they will most likely not get up and come close to the fence before they are hungry again.

The guide will mainly speak in English depending on the group.

Visitors are not allowed to feed random snacks or food to the animals. The feeding area is wheelchair accessible.
