Frommer's Review

This is the greatest playpen in Norway for children ages 5 to 12. In fact, it is one of the best children's museums in all of Europe. Exhibits center around almost anything related to children. You get documentation and exhibitions, of course, but the museum also satisfies a kid's desire to play with toys -- it has the largest collection in the country. Storytelling and performances for children are also staged here. Activities include climbing up into the "Scary Attic" or visiting a secret treehouse, or kids can even embark on a journey in a toy box or whisper into "a bag of secrets." This is very much a hands-on museum for kids, who are allowed to play with toys as well as paint, sing, write, or whatever. The museum also has more serious exhibits dealing with children's rights around the world.
