Family Park Foldvik

Hello, friends and community! I hope you're all doing well. I'd like to share an amazing family destination, Foldvik Family Park, situated just 5–6 kilometers from our home.

Since I moved to Norway, we’ve regularly visited this wonderful Foldvik farm for fresh, locally grown vegetables. The charming farmhouse, made of logs and relocated from Holhjem in 1911, was renovated by Mr. Foldvik and his wife in 1982. Their genuine care for visitors shines through in every detail of the park.

In the early 1980s, the Foldvik couple dreamed of creating a fun space where children could play while their parents picked strawberries. Their son’s love for rabbits added to the park's charm, setting the foundation for what is now Foldvik Family Park.

When Mr. Foldvik took over the farm in 1997, he faced significant challenges, including debt and crop losses. Rather than giving up, he decided to commercialize the park. After two years of market analysis, Foldvik Family Park opened, offering an affordable experience at just $2/20 kroner for a ticket or $5/50 kroner for a season pass. Now it costs $37 for the offseason and $45 in summer. Slowly, slowly, it developed many things, and now it is well established and very popular for families. We got a free invitation ticket from our bank on the bank's anniversary.

There were thousands of bank customers with their families. Since it became a big commercial business, this was my first visit to the park. When we got there, I saw plenty of people with children and carts full of food, drinks, and clothes. I didn't understand why they were carrying big carts. But I realised that after a few hours.

At the entrance very organised flowering plants.

Fish ponds, children's playrooms.

Some birds' cages, but they don't look very healthy, even though they take care of them. Weather? I don't like birds in a cage. But the Norwegian children have very few opportunities here to see these tropical birds.

Goats when we came to the other side of the park, there was a big setup for water activities, and most of the children and teenagers were enjoying themselves. Every place in the park has active assistants/workers to take care of visitors. Now I understand why people come prepared for all the activities The tier slider, where we can sit inside those big tires, and those valenteers push us from the hill, is allowed for all ages. So we enjoyed this thrill as much as the children did. Here is the big pipeline slider, fun but makes butterflies in the stomach Partial view of the park from the hill Pipe slides from the hilltop to the ground. I was thinking the bank would provide some lunch or drinks, but it did not. Thankfully, I had some fruits and sandwiches with me. Saw that people were grilling the most popular picnic food, sausages, and the smell covered the whole area.. We moved away from that area.

One place has some jump activities for children of all ages, nice.

We tried to move to a less crowded area to eat our lunch, but people were all over the place.

After finding one table, we finished our lunch and went to a mental and physical activity area to find our body balance.

After having some childish fun, we saw the place called Sense Forest, and we moved there. It is a children's play area, including some fun musical instruments

After taking on a round of mini train and meeting some more goats, we returned home. Visiting Foldvik Family Park—it’s a fantastic place for family fun and lasting memories! Thank you for the fun you enjoyed with me. See you soon, take care:)
