Norway’s Wildest Nature Park
Park Nordica is a year-round nature and adventure park in Trones, Trøndelag, inspired by Nordic wildlife and the untamed northern wilderness.
Trones, in northern Trøndelag, has been home to a nature park since 1989. In 2026, the park reopened with new owners, upgraded facilities, a new restaurant, and a renewed concept centred on the Nordic wilderness.
Park Nordica is designed to inspire curiosity, respect, and a deeper connection with animals and the Nordic landscape. Located in the heart of Norway, we are neighbours with Børgefjell National Park, Norway’s second-oldest national park. The surrounding region is home to wolverines, Arctic foxes, red foxes, reindeer, pine martens, stoats, owls, golden eagles, bears, and lynx.
At Park Nordica, you can discover several of these animals up close.
Curious about who lives here?
Close to the Wilderness
At Park Nordica, you can meet Nordic wildlife up close — including species whose future in Norwegian nature is increasingly uncertain. The animals in our care have either been born in the park, rescued, relocated, or brought here as part of conservation work.
Park Nordica works with other wildlife parks to promote animal welfare, protect endangered species, and prevent inbreeding. We also provide a safe home for animals that, for different reasons, need a new place to live.
Otto the otter was found in a very poor condition when he was young, while Oskar the red fox was found cold and weak in the forest. The silver foxes Gabriel and Randi came from a fur farm that was being closed down.
Some of the park’s most memorable animal encounters happen during feeding rounds with our animal keepers.
Your ticket also includes free access to one of Norway’s longest ziplines, as well as a climbing tower that is sure to give most visitors butterflies.

The Park’s Most Famous Resident
Odin the brown bear is one of the park’s best-known residents. In autumn, he weighs around 370 kilos before losing roughly 100 kilos during hibernation. He lives with his cubs, Bjørn and Søs, near the lynx, wolves, and wolverines.
As part of the park’s renewal, Odin, Bjørn, and Søs have moved into a new bear habitat designed around their natural needs, with varied terrain, shade, climbing opportunities, and quiet places to withdraw.
Come Hungry to Skrubb
Skrubb is open to everyone, whether you are visiting the park or simply passing through. The restaurant opened in 2026 and serves lunch and dinner dishes made with local ingredients, drawing on both regional traditions and international flavours.
Led by a Spanish chef, Skrubb aims to become a favourite stop for visitors to the park and travellers passing through Trøndelag.
Park Nordica Is Growing
Park Nordica is open all year round. We have ambitious plans for the next ten years — both inside the park and beyond.
