Especially for Kids

Oslo offers numerous attractions suitable for children and grown-ups alike. Two that can equal the thrill of a fjord trip are seeing the excavated Viking burial ships at the Vikingskipshuset and the Boat Hall at the Norwegian Maritime Museum, both on the Bygdøy peninsula.

Other sights of special interest to children include the polar exploration ship Fram at the Frammuseet; the balsa-log raft Kon-Tiki at the Kon-Tiki Museum; the Ski Museum, Lookout Tower, and ski jump at Holmenkollen; the Norwegian Folk Museum, depicting life in Norway since the Middle Ages; and the ancient Akershus Castle & Fortress on the Oslofjord.
