Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park

The Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park (Kristiansand Dyrepark) is a Zoological garden and amusement park situated 11 km east of Kristiansand, Norway.

It is Norway's most frequently visited attraction, covering an area of 150 acres (607,000 m²).

Animals include wolves, lynxes, wolverines, tigers, chimpanzees, and orangutangs.

Other attractions include Cardamom Town (Kardemomme by), which is made to look like the town mentioned in the book of Thorbjørn Egner , and Captain Sabertooth (Kaptein Sabeltann), and Kjuttaviga (perhaps translated as Kjutta's Bay), which is taken from a theatre act by the singer and actor Terje Formoe.
