Family-Friendly Attractions in Oslo


  1. The Vigeland Park:  A visit to the world’s largest sculpture park made by a single artist is a must. Kids will love the open spaces, unique sculptures, and the opportunity to run around. At the Vigeland Park there is also a big playground where the children can use a lot of energy and a cool labyrinth next to the amazing statues. So your children are occupied while you get to immerse yourself in the beauty Vigeland created. We have a guiding at the park and the museum if you want to focus your day on Vigeland.
  2. The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology: This interactive museum is perfect for curious minds. It features hands-on exhibits that engage children in science, technology, and medicine. This is not a museum we include in any of our tours but it is a great experience for children. If you want to book the Akerselva tour, this can start just next to the museum as a combination after a joyful day at the museum.
  3. The Oslo Opera House: Climb the roof for stunning views of the city and the fjord. It’s a fun activity for children and offers a unique perspective of Oslo. The Opera house has guiding in most of the Private City Walks as it is the in the center of oslo.
  4. The Norwegian Folk Museum: This open-air museum showcases traditional Norwegian buildings, including a fascinating stave church. Kids can learn about Norwegian culture and history in an interactive setting. The place is open and big and gives the children a lot of room and the opportunity to explore. Explore the entire Bygdøy Peninsula with their many museums!
  5. Akershus Fortress: Explore the medieval castle and its grounds. The fortress offers plenty of space for children to roam and learn about Norway’s military history. The Top Attraction Tour includes Akershus fortress!
  6. Ekebergparken Sculpture Park: This park offers stunning views of the city and a collection of contemporary sculptures. It’s a great place for a family walk, and children will enjoy the open spaces and artistic installations. We offer guiding at Ekeberg and can walk down to Middelalderparken afterwards where there is also located a very cool playground called “Byen I skyen” (The city in the clouds”). Or end your guiding at Ekeberg to enjoy the Mini golf, playgrounds or animal farm that is located there.
  7. Deichmanns Library: Visit the new Deichmann Library, a modern architectural marvel. Behind the library, you'll find a wonderful playground where children can have fun while parents relax. This is a great place to explore on your own. Since the library is located so centrally in Norway it can fit in to your schedule before or after a guided tour or simply on your next day.
  8. The Opera Beach: Just as an insider tip for your day of relaxation if you visit Oslo on a warm summer day. The newly created Opera Beach, situated beside the iconic Norwegian Opera House in Oslo, is a delightful addition to the city’s family-friendly attractions. This innovative urban beach offers a perfect blend of culture and recreation, providing a safe and engaging environment for children to play and explore. With its sandy shores, shallow waters, and stunning views of the Oslofjord, Opera Beach is an ideal spot for families to relax and enjoy a sunny day in the heart of the city. The proximity to the Opera House also means that families can easily combine a visit to this cultural landmark with a fun-filled beach day, making it a unique and memorable experience for children of all ages.
