I'm not in very often, but have always gotten super service and help when I have. In the summer they also sell kayaks and canoes and everything that goes with. Very good to have a store that specializes, so you know where to get good advice should you need it.

I only had a chance to do the last two. I have done ropes courses many times through team building exercises, and I ziplined through the jungles of Costa Rica last year. There is one VERY significant difference between those experiences and Oslo Sommerpark... no rest for the weary. Every other ropes course would have a challenge station, where you would go up, complete the challenge, and come down. Then you would walk to another station. Same thing for ziplining in Costa Rica. You would go to one or two stations, scream your head off, then hike to the next one. Not in Oslo. Here you could have as many as ten different challenges in one go before you ever see a way to get down. Plus, you are self belayed with a magnetic system, so you are really on your own. (There is someone monitoring a few challenges at a time, but there doesn't seem to be a way for them to get you short of an emergency). If after five of these things you are tired of balancing on wires and just want to take a break, too bad so sad... keep going. That being said, it is a lot of fun.

If you plan it right there is a farmers market on a few Sunday's a month which offer cheese, fresh bread, eggs, and dreads meats to name a few. Try to stop in the glass shop to watch artists blow glass ornaments and even order something custom while in the shop. FYI - many vendors only take cash, which surprises me in Norway. So head over to the Meny and make a quick withdrawal if your not prepared.
