What kind of park is it?
TusenFryd opened on 11 June 1988 as Norway's first real theme park, on the site of the former Vinterbro zoo. Since then, according to the park, it has welcomed more than 16 million visitors. Each year there are 450,000 to 500,000. The park belongs to the Spanish group Parques Reunidos, as do Bobbejaanland and Movie Park Germany, among others.
You'll find more than 30 attractions for all ages: roller coasters, spinning rides, a log flume, bumper cars and swings. For the little ones there are Barnas Fryd and Frydskogen. In summer you can swim in BadeFryd, the outdoor pool with water at 25 degrees. The park sits on hilly, wooded ground, with the themed areas Route 66, Expedition Lost Kingdoms and Dragonville.

With young children
TusenFryd is also a great park for young children. They can drive themselves at the Circle K traffic school and earn a driving licence, bump around in the Fire station garage and float along in Ballongferden. On Eventyrstien they meet trolls in the forest. In Fryds Hus they visit the mascot Fryd. Their first roller coaster is HuriHuri, from 95 centimetres with an adult.
Children under 95 centimetres don't need a ticket. Pushchairs are parked at the top of the escalator, and there are baby-changing facilities at the entrance, in a few restaurants and at the toilets by Loopen and Storm. The park measures height with shoes on.
Measured with shoes on
