World Showcase - Norway

The Norway pavilion has a lot to enjoy, including a church, a Viking ship, and a popular boat ride, a statue of a famous marathoner, and a few trolls. A replica of the Stave Church from Oslo, Norway and located at the entrance to the pavilion, offers a cool respite in the summer heat. To the side of Stave Church is a statue of famed Norwegian marathoner Grete Waitz. The Maestrom boat attraction takes you on a tour that travels from present-day Norway back in time to the days of the Viking.

There's more to Norwegian food than pickled herring; enjoy a buffet at Restaurant Akershus and spend some time learning about the dishes from the servers, who are all from Norway.
