In-Depth Information
This place is a real family attraction, and many activities are specifically
designed for children. Both kids and adults will be fascinated watching some of
Norway's most skilled glass blowers practice their art at the Glass Hut. Kids can
blow their own glass or dye their own candles here.
Note:
The pre-Christmas
scene is particularly active here, so plan on crowds that time of year.
Other highlights include a visit to “Honey House” to enjoy a freshly baked
confection, or a trip to the Factory Shop to browse for bargains. Children can
also play in a house designed for them, watch a tinsmith at work in the Pewter
Workshop, or take rides on the gentle horses in the park out back during the
summer.
On the main square of the glassworks is the Hadeland Glassworks Art Gallery,
opened in 1997, with an exhibition of the works of 50 internationally known
artists.
Admission is free, and the glassworks can be visited Monday to Friday 10am
to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 4pm, and Sunday 11am to 5pm. To reach Jevnaker,
motorists can follow E16 toward Hønefoss, then Route 241 into Jevnaker.
