Children's Ecological Farm


Ecological animal farm for kids
Skedsmogata 23
Oslo 0655
Norway
+47 22 19 7071
http://www.koebb.no/
A horse, a goat, rabbits, ducks, chickens and pigs are among the numerous animals that live here. An ecological farm for children, Kampen Barnebondegård is a place where urban kids learn to take care of animals and grow food. After a visit here your children will definitely know where the milk comes from (not the carton). There is also an ecological herbal garden and a vegetable garden. The main attraction for many Norwegian children is Hulda the pig, known from children's television.

Årvoll Gård Cultural Centre and Farm


Cultural activity centre
Årvollveien 35
Oslo 0590
Norway
+47 22 64 68 04
This is a farm run by volunteers which differs from other farms in that it focuses more on cultural activities than on farming as such. The activities include theatre, painting, belly dancing, literature, crafts, sewing, gardening and much more. The café is open from 11a-2p between Tu and Th and from 12p-3p on Su. The farm dates back to 1350, and the main buildings are from 1850. If you need a venue for your party, you could rent out this space. Naturally, being a farm there are also plenty of animals to see! A lot of activities are arranged outside of opening hours, but not all of them are open to the public, so call for more information. Facilities include handicapped access to most parts of the farm, including the toilets. Buses 25, 31 and 32 go past.

Øvre Fossum Gård Horse Riding School


Horses and handcrafts
Øvre Fossum Gård
Stovner
Oslo 0982
Norway
+47 22 10 7487
This farm hosts one of Oslo's largest horse-riding schools. They take over 500 eager pupils every week, on 35 horses. Unfortunately the waiting list for riding lessons is over six months long. On the farm there are also workshops where Norwegian handcrafts are made. There is no café at the farm, so you have to bring your own food or eat at the nearby Stovner shopping centre.
