Dyreparken

Kristiansand Dyrepark is the number one tourist attraction in Norway, attracting close to 1 million visitors each year. It consists of more than 150 different animal species, entertainment, shows, amusement park as well as a seperate water park called Badelandet.

Reviewed By phillipka - Kristiansand, Norway

Kristiansand Zoo is more than a regular zoo: There's an amusement park and a water fun park, as well. Great care is taken to make sure that the animals have plenty of space, and that's good for the animals. Sometimes it´s not so good for the visitors, as the animals tend to find shelter away from sight of the visitors. My son found the tigers and the cheetahs to be the most exciting, but the rain forest is also always interesting. I would recommend spending two days here, if you have the time.

Tromso Mini Zoo

Reviewed By asbhansen - Oslo, Norway

A very cozy and quiet mini zoo, where animals seemed happy and relaxed and walked up to the people if they wanted to rather than the people crowding the animals. The staff seemed to really care for the animals. This is a place I would love to visit again!

Elgtun

Welcome to Elgtun! Close encounters of the third kind! Norway`s first park with tame moose. There is a big difference between an moose you can see in zoos and moose who have lived close to people and been hand fed since they were born. The difference lies primarily in the fact that our moose are safe for us. Just wait until you meet them yourself- It is pure magic!

Reviewed By LisaSordal - Kristiansand, Norway

Lovely place with an interesting museum nearby, they really let you get close to the moose. The animals are friendly and impressive and the area is beautiful. I would recommend exploring more of the Setesdal Valley while you're there and make a day of it.

Atlantic Sea Park

Atlanterhavsparken Aalesund - The Norwegian Aquarium, is a showcase for life along the Norwegian coast and the Atlantic. Facing the ocean, the rich fishing grounds and the deep Norwegian fjords, the visitors can observe, experience and learn about life at sea – the natural way.

Reviewed By nomadeElin

At the very end of the road, facing the big ocean, lies an archetonic gem that completely agrees with the surrounding nature. The aquarium welcomes us with an open hospitality, however the building itself is almost hidden so that you are certain not to miss the astonishing view of the horizon of the North Sea. Inside we are met with tanks that goes from the floor to the ceiling, making the experience something like walking under water. Every detail is taken care of. Still, what we remember the most, beyond every local made fish cake in the café that tasted heavenily homemade and beyond the guide giving the penguins or the cods food, sharing their knowledge with an agreeable smile and a humorous angle, was the local charmer of the whole area. A seal that really wanted our attention and when he got it, he played with us like the window between us never existed. I am completely certain that he'll remember us as well.

The Lofoten Aquarium

At the aquarium you can learn about the Lofoten cod - or Skrei: Skrei is the name of the east Atlantic cod that migrate from the Barents Sea to Lofoten every winter to spawn. Check out the skrei aquarium room when visiting us. Within our tanks, you can also study most other species of fish, crustaceans and marine animals found in the waters around Lofoten. One of the highlights of your visit will be feeding the seals and otters, who live in outdoor pools near the Aquarium entrance. The Lofoten Aquarium additionally features photo- and art-exhibitions and films, a souvenir shop, and a cafe where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and excellent views.

So many sea animals to see with explanation and interactive activities. The experience with seals and otters was so special and unforgettable.
