We especially enjoyed seeing the Nordic animals native to the area.

Didn't enjoy it much except the Christmas market. The cottages in the museum did not have much engagement with the people demonstrating life in the 1800 / 1900s. They mostly talked / worked amongst themselves. Also, a lot of cottages focussed on sale of products. This attraction can be skipped in favour of walking / cycling tours.
