Badelandet is a large outdoor water park situated within the Kristiansand Dyreparken (Zoo and Amusement Park) complex in southern Norway. It features a diverse range of water slides, including the high-speed 'Sørlandsbadet' and various family-oriented attractions. The facility includes heated pools, a lazy river, and a dedicated shallow area for younger children. The park utilizes a combination of natural rocky terrain and artificial structures to integrate into the surrounding landscape. It is designed to accommodate visitors of varying swimming abilities with lifeguards stationed throughout the grounds. Access to the park is generally integrated with the wider Dyreparken entry ecosystem.
The viewing platform overlooking the main multi-lane slide area provides a comprehensive perspective of the park.
