Visiting Kristiansand Zoo with a dog?You enjoy the zoo – your dog enjoys day care with us
Dogs can’t go into Dyreparken. Let your dog have a great day with us – walks, play and cuddles – while you meet Captain Sabertooth and the animals.

Don’t leave your dog in the car
A parked car quickly gets too hot for a dog – even on a mild day with the window cracked open. With us, your dog has water, shade and company all day.
On holiday in Kristiansand with your dog?
Some of Dyreparken’s places to stay allow dogs – Dyreparken Safarihotell, Dyreparken Bobilcamp and Roligheden Camping – but the park itself doesn’t. Visiting the park for several days? Your dog can come to day care each day, or stay with us for your whole trip.
