6 tips for families with children with us!

A visit with us means experiences for the whole family. We know what it's like to be travelling with impatient children in the car. So it's fitting that several of our popular activities for children are available while you're parked!

  1. The children's mine tour in the Cobalt Mines is perfect for families with children! Every day this summer, the whole family can join a mine tour where the children are in focus. Experience both underground passages and large open-cast mines on the 1-hour tour, which is specially adapted for children aged 4-10. Read more about the Children's Mine Tour here!


  2. The Children's Farm at Blaafarveværket is a very popular attraction for young and old alike. Get up close to horses, goats, pigs, rabbits and other animals. Children's Farm has free admission and is located right next to the car park when you arrive. More about the Children's Farm here!


  3. The Kittelsen Museum at Koboltgruvene is an experience for children and adults of all ages. Kittelsen created the troll as we know it today, and here you can experience his fun, exciting and sometimes scary characters, paintings and drawings. The Kittelsen Museum is also hosting a Bendik Kaltenborn exhibition this summer, and if you like colour, comics and humour, you'll love Kaltenborn's world! Free admission for everyone under the age of 15. This applies to all our art exhibitions! Read more about the Kittelsen Museum here!


  4. Barnas Buldrehule at Blaafarveværket is a cave in the mountains that is equipped with climbing elements for children. Here you can test your balance and coordination in a low-threshold course. The children's bouldering cave is free to use and is designed so that no safety equipment is required. More about Barnas Buldrehule here!


  5. The children's carpentry workshop at Koboltgruvene is manned every day in July from 11.30 - 15.00. Here you can learn a bit about good old-fashioned carpentry. If you want to try your hand at it, it's free, otherwise we have kits for bird boxes and stilts that you can make and take home for £50.
