Dyreparken: Renews Driving School Attraction with Toyota
Dyreparken Kristiansand has taken another step in enhancing its visitor experience by renewing its beloved children’s driving school attraction. In collaboration with Toyota dealers in Norway, the park has introduced 15 custom-built miniature Toyota RAV4 vehicles, providing young visitors with an exciting, independent driving experience. This project, developed and executed by SBI Sweden, exemplifies innovation in amusement park attractions, blending fun, safety, and realism in a way that captivates both children and parents.
A Premier Destination for Families
Dyreparken Kristiansand, one of Norway’s most visited attractions, continues to innovate and enhance its offerings for families. Founded in 1965, the park attracts approximately one million visitors annually, and in 2020, it surpassed a milestone of 25 million total visitors.
In addition to its renowned zoo and amusement park, Dyreparken is home to the beloved “Kardemomme by”, Cardamom Village, and the popular “Badelandet” water park.
The zoo features 123 different animal species and approximately 650 individual animals, including its most famous resident, Chimpanzee Julius, who has been a park favorite since his birth in 1979.
Revitalizing the Driving School Attraction
For many years, SB International AB has proudly collaborated with Dyreparken on their popular children’s driving attraction (Bilbanen). In summer 2021, the park unveiled a refreshed version of the attraction in partnership with Toyota dealers in Norway, who joined as sponsors.
The renewed driving school features 15 custom-built miniature Toyota RAV4 vehicles. Designed to offer children an exciting and realistic driving experience. These electric, battery-powered cars allow young drivers to navigate independently. Just like real drivers, but in a safe, controlled environment.

Our expertise in designing custom-built attractions ensures that each vehicle meets the highest standards of safety, durability, and engagement.
