Arrival
Villa Fridheim is beautifully situated on Bjørøya. At the roundabout in Noresund there is a sign for Villa Fridheim. Follow road 192 approx. 850 metres, then turn left onto county road 192. After 2.3 kilometers, turn left again onto a gravel road. Drive straight ahead 700 metres, and you will find a signposted parking space. 500 metres further along the road you will see Villa Fridheim.
Parking
There is some parking outside Villa Fridheim, intended for those with mobility issuestrouble walking. Other visitors may use the large signposted parking space 500 meters before you get to Villa Fridheim.
Accessibility
The entire 1st floor is accessible to those who use a wheelchair, contact the staff and they will provide a ramp to enter. Unfortunately, the rest of the building is not adapted for wheelchairs, and we do not have an HC-toilet, the toilets are in the basement.
Such considerations were not taken at the end of the 19th century when Villa Fridheim was built. But if you come in the summer, our outdoor area is nicely arranged for everyone.
For children (and adults)
On the main floor, there is a large playroom where the children can pay dress up, draw and play with the toys.
Outside, we offer activities such as stilts, blocks, smashball and badminton. We also have a playhouse with an accompanying sandbox for the little ones.
Right next to the playhouse, we have a wonderful garden with spices, flowers and vegetables, where both adults and children can enjoy the scent of the plants. The museum's little friends, Idun and Isak, help you explore and learn more about the importance of cultivating the garden yourself. Don't miss the various flowers and spices, both edible and medicinal.
We also have canoes and life jackets for rent. To rent a canoe an adult must be with you.
