Need some ideas for what to do when you’re in Kristiansand? Whether you’re here for a semester abroad or a<br />
full degree, we all need some tips and tricks for how to spend our time, whilst having the most fun. So, if you need<br />
some help with figuring out what to do the next time you’re hanging out with friends, or just looking to get out of<br />
boredom, we are here for you. Here are seven things Unikum suggest you do in Kristiansand.<br />
Exploring Dyreparken<br />
This one almost goes without saying. Dyreparken is one of Norway’s<br />
most visited tourist attractions, and you could spend several hours<br />
here without getting bored. Bring your friends, and wear some<br />
comfortable shoes, because there will be a lot of walking. The park<br />
is divided into the world continents, and they also have an addition<br />
of Thorbjørn Egner’s Kardemmome by, where you can enjoy some<br />
delicious cinnamon buns, or spend some time in the town’s prison.<br />
The park is not only a zoo, but it’s also part amusement park, which<br />
means that there are Tivoli games, a waterpark and lots of fun all<br />
around. If you weren’t lucky enough to go for free during buddy<br />
week, a ticket for one day costs 389 kr. We would say it’s a must do<br />
when you’re in Kristiansand.<br />

Trying and failing at Glowing golf<br />
Located in Vågsbygd, this activity is certainly a great<br />
way to spend an hour or two. Glowing Golf is minigolf in<br />
luminous surroundings. The course has 18 holes, that are<br />
surrounded by UV-lights. A perfect way to spend some time<br />
with friends. Mini golfing is quite a popular activity, and we<br />
are lucky enough to be one of only two places in Norway<br />
that offer Glowing golf. If you’ve never played neither golf<br />
nor minigolf, this might be the place to start. You also get a<br />
student discount, so remember to bring a student ID.<br />
Jumping high at Skyland<br />
Do you have a lot of energy, but hate running with a<br />
burning passion? Then this is the place for you. Skyland is<br />
a trampoline park, that have several types of trampolines,<br />
intended both for jumping and flipping. And if you’re<br />
really angry at your friends, you could push them into<br />
the gymnastics pit, or throw a dodgeball at them. Either<br />
way Skyland is a great place to both work out and have<br />
a fun time. If you have the student calendar app you can<br />
also get two hours of jumping for only 179 kr!<br />
