We (2 adults) had a very good time at Evje Mineralsti. At first it is a little bit difficult to find, but they have enough parking areas in front of the shop. The entrance fee is 100nok for adults and all equipment is included. You get a hammer, a chisel, safety glasses and a bucket. And there were helmets, but they were not needed. At first you get an instruction with examples what you could find and where to look. Afterwards you can start in field 1 right in front. There are 4 other fields, but we only went to one other. In the field you can dig up minerals in the ground or pick some rocks to find some hidden minerals. It was quite challenging but a lot of fun. Afterwards someone from the shop sits down with you and tells you what minerals you found and what they are used for. Quite interesting and surprising. I think we found 8 or 9 different ones. Some big ones and some traces in other rocks. I think it is both for children (not to small) and adults...
