For the disabled, we recommend using Parking South, as the entrance from Entrance North starts with a steep hill. Parking South has access from Ringerike/Fylkesvei 241. The address is Kistefossveien 24. See location on Google Maps here.

Handicap toilets are available in The Twist and in the toilet facilities in the café area.

Kistefos is situated on a 50-acre natural parkland with natural hilly terrain. The roads are covered with gravel. Some of the climbs can be challenging for those who have limited mobility or are in a wheelchair, and in this case, we recommend an alternative route.

Is the park suitable for children?

Yes! Children can run freely and marvel at the works of art - several of them are even interactive. With our new children's map, the visit becomes an exciting journey of discovery and includes simple educational tasks. The map is available free from both entrances. Opposite the café, you will find a play park with various climbing equipment and in the Industrial Museum, there are both a jumping pit and a hamster wheel for your little ones to enjoy.

Is there a café on-site?

Our good neighbor, Øvre Kjekshus Gård, serves hot and cold dishes, made with meat, cheese and vegetables from the farm at the café area.

Can I bring my own food?

Yes, you can, but we politely ask you to enjoy your food in the park, outside the café area.

What payment options are there?

Payment is accepted with all major cards and Vipps.

Can I bring a dog?

Dogs are welcome in the park, but they have to wait outside the buildings, including The Twist Gallery, Nybruket Gallery, the Industrial Museum, and the museum shop. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Can I bring an electric scooter?

You may use an electric scooter in the park, but not inside the buildings, including The Twist Gallery, Nybruket Gallery, the Industrial Museum, and the museum shop.

Do you hold guided tours for groups?

We have several different tours and we are happy to tailor our tours if the group has a special area of interest. Contact us at booking@kistefosmuseum.com or 61 31 03 83.

Annual passes can be purchased online or at one of the entrances.

Does the entrance ticket also apply to The Twist?

Yes, the entrance ticket applies to the entire park and all the showrooms.

Where can I find the bathrooms?

We have restrooms in The Twist and in the café courtyard.

Can you swim in the river?
