Lilleputthammer

What Lilleputthammer does

Lilleputthammer Familiepark is a single-location family amusement park operated by Lilleputthammer Lekeland AS, located in Hafjell, 15 km north of Lillehammer in Øyer, Norway. The park is purpose-built for children aged 1–9, offering scale-appropriate rides (train, electric cars, boats, Ferris wheel, carousel, roller coaster, Ola's Frog Jump, climbing park), daily theater and circus entertainment, and the Ola & Hedda mascot sub-brand. Its differentiating content is a 1:4 scale miniature recreation of Lillehammer's 1930 main street (Storgata) and the Barnas Bokby (Children's Book Town) cultural-heritage attraction, which drove its 2022 Golden Pony Award as one of nine worldwide winners.

The core product is augmented by a 900m² indoor playground (Lekeland Hafjell) operating as a sibling property, multiple on-site F&B outlets (Park Café, Café Central, Bokby Café, Ola's Kiosk, Hedda's Grill, Huset i Skogen), and a souvenir shop. The business runs a seasonal May–October operating calendar with a lean core of 7 permanent employees supplemented by a community-driven seasonal workforce of over 2,100 local young people across 16 summers.

Revenue is generated through five streams: date-specific day tickets (online pre-booking required with 20% early-bird discount before May 17), tiered season passes (Full Season, Low Season excluding July, and two Øyværing local-resident variants), Ola's Super Package accommodation-and-ticket bundles sold through Hafjell Hotel and Hafjell Resort, on-site F&B, and merchandise. The park is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hafjell Hotell AS, which sits under the diversified Norwegian hospitality group Welle Gruppen AS; value-chain functions including payments, online bookings, email marketing, and bundled distribution are handled by the parent group's Hafjell Resort marketing entity. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the park's own website and a partner channel through Hafjell Resort's accommodation network, with the entire customer base being families and local residents rather than enterprise buyers.
