– Location: Gamla Uppsala, Uppsala (Sweden)

## What you can see at Disagården

The museum description highlights three core “anchors” for a visit:
– Historic buildings (presented as part of an open-air museum environment).
– Traditional animal breeds.
– A garden with vegetables and herbs.

Because the site is seasonal and programming varies, the most reliable approach is to treat Disagården as a “walk-through historical farm environment” with optional timed interpretation (guided tours + open-house periods) rather than a conventional indoor museum you can experience the same way year-round.

## Opening season and hours (flag: seasonal + can change)

Disagården’s English visitor page states:
– Open daily June–August, 10:00–17:00.
– Open also for schools in May and September.
– “If the gates are open you are welcome to wander around the area.”

The Swedish site’s status message also notes the museum is closed for the season and says: “Välkommen tillbaka 1 juni 2026!” (Welcome back 1 June 2026).

Outdated-data flag: opening dates/hours and “season status” are inherently time-sensitive. Use the official Disagården page as the source of truth right before you go.

## Guided tours and “open house” times

According to the official Disagården visitor page, scheduled interpretation is structured like this:

### Weekdays
– Guided tour in Swedish: 13:00 (family-oriented) and 14:00
– Open house: 15:00–16:00 (in one of the farmsteads or the soldier’s cottage)

### Weekends
– Guided tour in Swedish: 13:00 (family-oriented), except special programs
– Guided tour in English: 14:00
– Open house: 13:00–16:00 (farmsteads + soldier’s cottage)

(Independent travel guides also mention free guided tours and tour timing, but the official page above is the best-cited reference for planning.) Planet

## Admission (what’s stated publicly)

Destination Uppsala lists free admission (Fri entré) for Disagården. Uppsala
As with hours, prices can change—so it’s still smart to verify close to your visit.

## Getting there: address + public transport

The Disagården visitor page lists:
– Address: Ärnavägen 24, Gamla Uppsala
– Buses: 2, 110, and 115 to Gamla Uppsala/Kungshögarna, then walk toward the church and follow signs to Disagården.

This “walk from Gamla Uppsala/Kungshögarna” routing lines up with the way the area is presented for visitors—Disagården is positioned as part of a cluster around Gamla Uppsala’s major historic landscape. Planet

## Combine Disagården with Gamla Uppsala’s Royal Mounds and museum

If you’re making the trip north of central Uppsala, it’s efficient to plan Disagården alongside Gamla Uppsala’s Royal Mounds and Gamla Uppsala Museum:
– Upplandsmuseet describes Gamla Uppsala Museum as located by the Royal Mounds, built in the 6th century AD, and explains they’re believed to be burial monuments of the ruling elite in the late Iron Age.
– Destination Uppsala explicitly frames Disagården as near the burial mounds, and positions Gamla Uppsala as a key day-trip area with the mounds, church, and museum. Uppsala
– Lonely Planet also describes reaching Disagården by following signs from the grave mounds at Gamla Uppsala. Planet

That pairing matters because it lets you cover two different time layers in one outing:
– Iron Age monumental landscape (Royal Mounds + museum interpretation)
– Late-1800s rural life in Uppland (Disagården)

## Seasonal events (flag: date-specific)

Destination Uppsala describes Disagården as hosting summer activities such as Midsummer celebrations, haymaking, traditional dance evenings, and harvest days. Uppsala
The museum also posts event pages—for example, a Midsummer preparations event dated 19 June 2025 (with details about decorating/raising the midsummer pole).

Outdated-data flag: event schedules are inherently temporary; rely on the current calendar on the official site when timing a visit around a specific program.

## Inclusivity and practical planning notes (kept strictly factual)
– The official page explicitly offers an English guided tour on weekends at 14:00 during the open season.
– For families, the 13:00 Swedish tour is described as family-oriented (weekday + weekend schedules).
