Things to do in Skien in summer
Of the things you can do this summer, we recommend taking a walk along the river, crossing the new (and yellow!) Damfoss bridge, having a few goes on our climbing wall and grabbing a coffee with a view of Klosterfossen in our climbing café ☕
A perfect summer activity in Skien that's full of both fresh air and climbing – whether you're alone, with the family or with your group of friends. We have a low threshold and long opening hours, so you and your companions can climb all day!
🕒 Opening hours:
Monday – Thursday: 12:00 – 22:00
Friday: 12:00 – 20:00

Things to do in Skien when it rains – discounts on experiences!
If the weather offers zero in the sun department, you can do other things! Here are our suggestions:
🌧️ Rain? No stress. No reason to sit inside and be bored! Come to us and discover why we're top of the class in experience climbing.
🧪Head to DuVerden. Let the children become researchers and learn about technology, natural science and seafaring through play. (It's said that adults become children here too, so there's something for everyone!)
🌊Check out Skien Fritidspark, one of Norway's largest water parks. We love that they have an obstacle course – UNDER water!
💡 Send the children on a 5-day climbing camp! Our summer camp offers both indoor and outdoor climbing, a nature trail and a trip to Høyt & Lavt Vestfold. (A zipline ride in the rain makes tough kids even tougher!)
