The park has super little cafés nearby, and all in all it's a wonderful half-day excursion.

You will be given 60 minutes to solve the intriguing puzzle and escape the room. An incredibly entertaining and unusually different way for you and your friends or family to spend time.

Restaurants, pubs and night-life

If you like to feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door, why not dine at Hos Thea? After just a 15 minutes' stroll from The Karl Johann, you could enjoy the pleasant ambiance of this beautiful restaurant. It is not the place for a large party, being quite cosy and compact, but the food is of superb quality and is all wonderfully presented. There is a delightful wine menu available and everything from the deer roast to the lobster bisque is reasonably priced, as well as being tantalisingly tasty.

Statholdergaarden is seen as one of the five best restaurants in Oslo. It holds a prestigious Michelin Star and is set in a bonnie old building with an impressive history. Serving well-priced gourmet food, this is an ideal place to enjoy yourself with friends or experience something special with a loved one in a charming atmosphere. Non-alcoholic drinks are sourced from local farmers, a must-taste. So dress accordingly and experience one of the best meals of your life.

If seafood takes your fancy go to the Fjord Restaurant, which serves delicious fish dishes with a Norwegian flavour. Though not massively proportioned, the meals are immensely satisfying and there are plenty of courses to keep you interested. From the mouthwatering cod to the delectably creamy passion fruit icecream, you will not be disappointed.
