Season pass 2026
Our season pass gives you unlimited entry to the park throughout the 2026 season.
When you buy a season pass, an entry ticket, a night at our B&B or shop in our boutique, you support our work with saving endangered animals.
A perfect day out for the whole family!
Nordens Ark is ideal for a day trip! The park stretches over 4.5 km, and a full walk – visiting all the animals and areas – usually takes around three hours. The paths are pushchair-friendly, and there are plenty of cosy picnic spots if you’d like to bring your own food.
Feeling hungry? You can also buy meals, snacks, and drinks at our café in the main building. The Glade café inside the park is also open until August 31.
Nordens Ark's shop
In our on-site shop you'll find everything from soft toys and books to sheepskin and honey from our own bees and other goodies.
By purchasing these products, you help us in our work to save endangered animals.
