Here you will find an open air area where some of the smaller monkeys run wild amongst the trees and climbling areas and swing on the ropes while you can move amongst them! Deeper into the rain forest, the mist and the humid atmosphere, dark and scary passages lead the way to crocodiles, alligators and many other reptiles - You will find more than 800 animals and birds living in as much freedom as possible in a natural environment.

Badelandet - indoor and outdoor wet world
Badelandet aquapark is the newest addition to the amusement park. It´s a "park in the park" - which means you need an additional ticket to enter. It is also possible to buy combined tickets for both parks. The water world is open from Easter to mid October every year.
