NORWAY PAVILION

Walking into the Norway Pavilion is like walking into a quaint Scandinavian village complete with cobblestone walkways and 14th century Akershus Castle.  In the village, Guests will find a wooden stave church, cottages, and replicas of historic buildings representing the traditional designs of Bergen, Alesund, and Oslo.  The scent of fresh baked pastries and luxurious perfumes fill the air.  In Norway, you  can sit and nibble on a troll horn and school bread from Kringla Bakeri og Kafe or dine with the Princesses at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall.
