With gorgeous fjords and jaw-dropping scenery, there really is no reason to stay inside when you’re in Norway– even in the height of winter! You can even stay in glass igloo hotels in Norway for a memorable getaway! There’s so much to do and so much to see that it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the choices laid out in front of you. It’s one of the reasons why amusement and theme parks are such a huge deal in Norway. These places are one-stop destinations that offer tons of fun and excitement whether you’re out alone, with the entire family, or with your friends. As you make your way through Norway for your trip, don’t forget to check out the top theme parks and amusement parks in Norway.
1. Tusenfryd
One option located near enough Oslo is Tusenfryd. It first opened in 1988 and continues to be one of the favourite amusement parks in Norway. To guide visitors, Tusenfryd has a unique scaling system so you know if the ride or attraction you’re going on is too boring or too intense for your liking. Most of kid-friendly ones are under the “soft” category, while older kids will probably have more fun with rides tagged “moderate.” As for those that are rated “intense,” we have the SkyCoaster, the SpaceShot, the SuperSplash, the Nightmare attraction, the SpinSpider and, of course, the ThunderCoaster.

2. Hunderfossen Family Park
Step into the land of fairytales at Hunderfossen Family Park in the Lillehammer province. Similar to Disney parks, at the very heart of Hunderfossen is a castle that looks like it jumped straight out of Norwegian fairy and folk tales. There are over 60 attractions here, ranging from family-friendly rides such as R/C cars to those that are right up the adults’ alley, such as the Il Tempo Extra Gigante coaster. There’s also a host of seasonal offerings. Summer means outdoor concerts, high ropes courses, and water slides, while during the winter you get to go kick-sledging, enjoy drinking at the ice bar, go sleighing, and riding snowmobiles.

The minute you step into Kongeparken, you’ll notice that there are bears everywhere. It’s because back in the late 19th century, the Lund family (the current owners of Kongeparken) were the first to import teddy bears to Norway.
