Organized hikes to beautiful places on Friday and Sunday will guarantee you an enjoyable weekend with us!

You will get the chance to attend plenty of fun geocaching activities, as well as exploring the exhibitions at Science Farm.
In order to cover the expenses for all of this, we need to have an entry fee for participants. The entry fee will be 70nok (approx. 9 euros) for every participant above 12 years of age.
(Children bellow 12 years of age are free)
*The logbook will be outside the event, so that you may log the event without having to pay the entry fee.
Science farm Vitengarden Science farm is part of the Jærmuseet Company. You’ll find it in the middle of Jæren, and at Science farm, you’ll learn by participating. Science farm offers interactive exhibitions, a real live farm and historical exhibitions. On the farm, you’ll get to meet and greet the pigs, cows, chickens, sheep and horses. And indoors, you’ll learn our local history by playing with the interactive exhibitions. You’ll even learn about our modern energy sources in the new outdoor interactive exhibition.

Activities
- BigShot target shooting:
As geocaching develops, so does the necessary equipment needed to get them… The BigShot is one of them. This giant slingshot can shoot heavy objects pretty far! And during the day you will get the opportunity to try hitting a target using the BigShot. Who will be the king of BigShot target shooting? Come find out, at ROGEO!
- Rocketbuilding:
Try building your own rocket using nothing but paper. Design it aerodynamically and it will fly far away when we launch it using our custom made rocket launcher for homemade paper rockets. This activity is for both children and childish adults.
- Potatocanon:
Can we use potatoes for more than just food? Yes we can! We may play with them! At rogeo, you will get the opportunity to shoot the potatoes using a potatocanon. You’ll shoot them far away, and onto the fields where the horses go, and they’ll eat them. That way it’s not a waste of good potatoes.
- Throw the milkbucket:
At the farm you'll get the oportunity to compete using milkbuckets. How far can you throw it? These alminium buckets where mostly used to store dairy products. Lately we've begun using them for decoration and fun activites.
- Hold the milkbucket:
How long can you hold a milkbucket up with your hands at a 90degress anlge? Try holding one in each hand, and let's see how long you'll last.
- Throw the horseshoe:
Even horser wears shoes. Their shoes are U-formed, made of iron and nailed to their hoves. At farms, these shoes where used for more than just the horse. Throwing them at ironpoles where one of the things kids used these for. And you will get to try it while visiting our science farm!
