Thrilling adventures since 1986

Kongeparken is an amusement park in Ålgård, near Stavanger, Norway. Kongeparken is the biggest amusement park in the southwest of Norway and Rogaland's biggest tourist attraction. The park offers over 60 different rides and adventures for the entire family and has been awarded several times for good service and innovative attractions.

Kongeparken was opened by Gabriel Ålgård May 16, 1986, and was intended to be a park with outdoor activities such as BMX, roller-skating, arcades, golfing etc. In 1997 the park was bought by its current owners, the Lund-family, who has over a hundred years experience through Lunds Tivoli.

A theme of bears & unique experiences

The Lund-family gave Kongeparken the theme of bears. Kongeparken is the only amusement park in the world that holds the theme of bears. In 1997 the bears Brumle and Brumleline moved into the park. The King and the Queen of Bears lives in the castle of Kongeparken. In the castle you'll find one of the biggest rides in the park – a roller coaster with spinning gondolas.

The park has a BearBotel where your teddybear can check in for a spa treatment, while you enjoy the park.
