The absolute highlights

  • Captain Sabertooth and the Secret of the Sea – a magical and spectacular evening show in the summer for all ages. This year with a grand and newly written version.
  • Join the zookeepers for animal presentations. The zookeepers present more than 20 animals/species, both Nordic and more exotic ones. Also visit the new house for orangutans, one of the world's most critically endangered species.
  • The Log Flume Nile – Treat yourself to a refreshing ride along the Nile in a log.
  • Kardemomme Town is located in the Zoo and has its own unique rhythm and pace – as charming and idyllic as in Thorbjørn Egner's story.
  • Hakkebakke Forest. When the grandstand train rolls in between blueberries and heather, a completely unique world opens up. Look forward to a fantastic experience in Hakkebakke Forest. A highlight of the summer holiday.
Of course, there are many more activities in the Zoo – read more here.
