About
In the activity park Gordarike you are right in the middle of the Hallingdal history with tracks from the Viking Age and the Medieval Ages. Through the re-creation of the attractions you meet a great activity park. Find peace of mind inside the Gol Stave Church. The exhibitions tell about the architecture of the stave churches and the history of the Norse gods. Visit the grave of King Hadding, the Viking village, Santa's house, and the Hahaug trolls cave. You can climb to the top of the tower Yggdrasil or whiz down the zipline, shoot with bows and arrows and learn sword fighting in the amphitheater. The Yggdrasil symbolizes the tree of life in Norse mythology, from the top of the tree you have a magnificent view over the valley. NEWS summer 2011: River with Viking boats for children, small swimming area and Flintstones-electric vehicles.

Costs 50 NOK per person.
No explaining history of the site or anything. Everything was locked off, except the church where a women was cleaning, whereas we couldn't go inside....
Felt like a bad joke.
Sad, as there is much potential here and it is such an important part of Norwegian history.

For a place with so much potential, this place is pitiful! Entrance fee ok price, but ridiculously high prices for any extra activities which, when we visited in high season, weren't even up and running. Health hazard of a swimming pool and slide area. Poor children's play area and no staff to be seen after ticket office, let alone anyone in viking costume. Viking exhibition was interesting and stave church replica beautiful, but insufficient to counteract all the negative. A real shame that this place has been allowed to become so run down (seems it's been this way for several years after reading other reviews) - it has real potential as an awesome experience given the right investment!

It's horrible to have to pay money to see a dusty collection of dolls. Only fine was the church.
Absolutely not worth the money.

We where there when the place was not open but even though the kids liked it and we are planning to go back. Make sure to check online when they are open for the season because this is a good place to spend a day.
