fun
fair
that includes rides such as the pirate-ship cruise, Captain Sabretooth's Treasure Trove
and enchanted houses.
Kardamomme By
(Cardamom Town) is a fantasy village based on
the children's stories of Thorbjørn Egner. There's a
water park
with heated pools and wa-

zoo
itself.
It houses a large number of species, including red pandas, a crocodile house, lions and
tigers and an African savannah filled with giraffe, zebra and others. For non-Norwegians,
the highlight is the Nordisk Vilmark (Northern Wilderness), where visitors are transported
through the habitat of moose, wolves, lynx and wolverines on elevated boardwalks.
