Meet the locals: The Andersson family

Our day: The Andersson family

The Andersson family: Fredrik, Jenny, Gustav 13, Svea 11. Live in: Sparsör The Andersson family enjoys being out in nature and takes adventures as often as they can. Jenny and Fredrik run Glasögonmäster on Allégatan in Borås, where they offer a large selection of sunglasses and sport sunglasses for active families who enjoy cycling, skiing and running. Join this active family on a fun-filled Saturday of activities and excursions!

10:30 am Coffee stop

After breakfast, we head into town for Café Viskan’s delicious take-away coffee. Then we take a stroll through beautiful Stadsparken. In winter, it also has a fantastic ice-skating rink. After that, we drop by Simple Café by Knalleporten, where the kids choose some tasty snacks to take with us.

11:30 am Skateboarding

We head to Borås Skatehall, which is located at Armbågavägen 7. You can hire boards and scooters here and you can borrow helmets for free.

1:00 pm Lunch break

Gustav and Svea get to choose our lunch restaurant, and it’s Tugg or Hell’s Burger – they love hamburgers! But the whole family also loves the Vietnamese restaurant Qui at Hötorget. We recommend the beef salad with glass noodles!

2:00 pm Time in nature

With food in our bellies, we’re ready for an adventure! We hop into the car and drive the quick stretch up to Rya Åsar. The big nature reserve is perfect for short and long hikes, and because the area is hilly, sometimes a short hike can still be a great challenge! We usually park by Björbostugan, but there is also more parking further up the hill. Then we walk up to check out the beautiful view at Ramshulan. It’s also a lovely place to stay and make some food. We have an outdoor kitchen and the kids’ favourite is when we make pancakes. We parents fry up a delicious blend of ground beef and cabbage, or we make a nice, hot goulash soup.

4:30 pm Multisport

On the way home to Sparsör, we stop off at the Knektås multisport park, which is located nearby. It’s truly the perfect place for families with kids! We have our mountain bikes with us and we take a ride on the nice trails. Afterwards, Gustav works on his balance on the pump track.

Tip! Here you can also play padle at their outside courts.

7:00 pm Digital tapas

After a quick stop at home to shower and change, we head back into town. We go to Pinchos, where you order and pay via their app. This is a fantastic place for kids and the concept, where you order lots of small plates, is fun for kids and adults alike. We order a great combination of fish tacos, burgers, mushroom risotto and sweet potato chips. We finish with a Daim brownie with whipped cream and everyone is satisfied.
