HOUSE OF SANTA CLAUS (TREGAARDEN'S JULEHUS)
Read moreAt the end of the last century, this region was the "Barbizon School" of Norwegian painters such as Christian Krogh and Fritz Thaulow. On the square in Torget Tregaardens Julehus, you'll find Santa's house. The traditions of this pagan holiday are deeply rooted in northern countries. Santa's house sells Christmas tree decorations all year round on December 25, and has its own post office. But you know the story, don't you?
ROYAL PARK (KONGEPARKEN)
Read moreThis park is inspired by the theme of Gulliver and his journey to the land of the Lilliputians. There is also a bumper car circuit called the Le Mans Circuit. In Jaeren's miniature farm in the park, children can play in the hay. Children can also visit a replica of a chocolate factory and try their hand at making chocolate - and so can parents! There are also cafeterias where you can eat. This park adapts to the changing seasons and celebrates holidays like Halloween and Christmas. A park for the whole family.
POLARIA
Read moreA concept that's part museum, part study center and part theme park, opened in 1998. The architecture is appealing, in the shape of a block of ice, and the attractions - mainly adorable seals - are well designed to bring visitors closer to the wildlife of extreme cold. Seal feeding at 3 p.m. in summer and at 12.30 p.m. from September1. A great place for the whole family to discover the underwater fauna and flora of the waters of the Far North. You can sponsor the seals to improve their daily lives...
AMUSEMENT PARK HUNDERFOSSEN
Read moreThe main attraction is a large 14 m troll, sitting on the cave in which the tales and legends of Norway are presented. Filmed versions of the tales are shown continuously in the cinema. In the Trollsalen restaurant, these giants from the Norwegian imagination support the ceiling like a monstrous Atlas. More real and close to our modern concerns, the model of a drilling platform shows how oil is extracted in the North Sea.
MAGIC ICE
Read moreSince 2003, Lofoten has had its own ice palace. But here, the play on reflections and lights has nothing to do with Versailles. It is about sculptures of boats, animals, everything that makes the regional culture, but especially the Icebar in ice! An icy and unique universe which is worth the detour, if only to appreciate the talent of the ice sculptors! Fairy-like. It is also a bar, and you will certainly not often have the opportunity to enjoy a cocktail in such a setting. An extraordinary place not to be missed!
BØ SOMMARLAND
Read moreIt's a kind of Aqualand with a large pool and a 26-meter slide, as well as other water games. We recommend the flowrider, a large artificial surfing wave, to experience an amazing, powerful pleasure usually reserved for those who live on the edge of capricious waves. On a slightly drier terrain: ponies, playgrounds, reconstructions of Norwegian alpine pastures. Prices a little cheaper by buying the ticket directly from their web page. A great activity with friends or family.
TUSENFRYD AMUSEMENT PARK
Read moreIn a green setting, this large park offers many attractions, such as roller coasters, a space shot and carousels, as well as cafeterias, kiosks and stores. Reconstructed western movie sets. It is particularly popular with locals. Theme nights like Halloween for example. All kinds of water games to get sprayed, small cars, a ride surrounded by trolls, a great carousel, a tree house...
