In the glas hut, both children and adults have the opportunity to try their hand at glass-blowing. Items you can make and take home include a vase, honey pot, Easter egg, Christmas bauble, and drinking glass. The range available depends on the season. During summer, the honey pot can be filled with honey at Honninghuset.
In Lysstøperiet, children have the opportunity to colour their own candles.
Children will also love the outdoor play areas, and during the summer holidays there is a children’s farmyard experience with animals and horseback riding.
