We especially enjoyed the veiled chameleon - it was fascinating the way that the eyes moved independently and reminded us of Miss Crawly from the movie Sing. We were also able to hold a large snake. The menacing 5 foot Cuvier's dwarf caiman (crocodile) eerily stared at us with his head just above the water and the rest of his body submerged. We spent about 30 minutes enjoying all the rare creatures but it felt overpriced as it was about twice the cost of the National Museum but this may be the going rate for activities in Oslo.

Take a walk on the property and just soak in the nature while at it. There are horses and cows here as well. Fun for adults and kids. I really enjoyed the guided tour through the house, however don't expect a gigantic mansion like the ones you find abroad. This is Norway, and we used to be a poor country before the oil was found in 1969. While in the area, there is a country store 5 minutes even further down the road. So scenic and far from the urban city life. Yet, still in Oslo.

I love this place. Summer or Winter it is absolutely charming. I just had lunch in the coffee shop…read moreand found the food fresh and very seasonal. Delicious roast beef, Reke (prawns) and bagettes. But leave room for the amazing cakes. Leading up to Christmas the farm hosts a typical christmas fare. Lots of warm food and handcrafts to buy and the best Gløgg i have ever had. Ask the wonderful ladies serving if you can try the "special" one. They make one for the kids without alchohol...and one for us!! :)
