Robert, air purser | Kristiansand Dyrepark
Tel.: +47 38 04 97 00
http://www.dyreparken.no Zoo & Amusement Park has a wide range of animals, including tigers, lions, wolves & red pandas. The real attraction is Kapten Sabeltann, Norway's favorite pirate, & Kardemomme By or the Cinnamon Village, the latter based on a famous children's book. There is most likely no child nor adult for that matter in Norway who does not know these characters. The amusement park is very popular among Norwegians.
