If you&#8217;re in Kristiansand with kids and looking for an active and fun day outdoors, we really recommend Høyt &amp; Lavt Climbing Park. It&#8217;s set in a beautiful forest area and has climbing courses for all levels. Everything from easy routes for small kids to more challenging trails and ziplines for older children and adults. The safety routines are solid, and the staff are great at making everyone feel comfortable before they start.



What we loved most is that it is really fun for the whole family! We can almost guarantee that you&#8217;ll enjoy it, whether you are visiting with children or not. There’s also a small café for snacks and coffee when you need a break. A perfect way to combine nature, activity, and quality time!

How about starting your day with a little walk? When you stay at Citybox Lite Kristiansand you are so close that you can see the start of the beautiful Baneheia park.



There are several hiking opportunities on rambling paths and lighted trails. Go for a swim in one of the three “stampers” or try out your fishing luck in the same lakes. You will have a great view over the city center and the fjord from some of the looking points. You can also walk through Baneheia and end up in the beautiful nature park Ravnedalen.

I mean, who doesn&#8217;t love karaoke? If you&#8217;re looking for a place where your vocal cords go to both shine and die gloriously, Javel Pub is the place for you. The mic may be wireless, but the confidence you gain after two drinks is very much connected—directly to your inner Beyoncé (or Bjørn Eidsvåg, no judgment).



Whether you&#8217;re belting out 90s bangers like you&#8217;re headlining Oslo Spektrum or mumbling ABBA like you&#8217;re hiding from someone at the office, Javel delivers. It’s the kind of place where the lighting is low, the bartenders are quick with a pour, and the crowd feels like distant cousins at a family reunion. What more could you want?
