It was an amazing experience. The waterfalls is beautiful and there was a rainbow too. It was fun walking on the bridge and have a 360 degrees view of the place surrounded by waterfalls. There's 2 places where you can park the car. The toilets are nice and clean. It is free to visit.

Fantastic place all around the year. Highly recommend to visit in summer time. Winter time is actually close, but you can still walk around on your own risk, since everything around is slippery.

Absolutely breathtaking! I highly recommend taking the path less traveled and hiking from the top to the bottom it’s like a whole different world and an exciting adventure. Wear good hiking shoes with grip if you choose to do this you will be climbing over a lot of rocks.

Beautiful waterfall and surrounds. Also breathtaking engineering in the bridges and platforms and the roads / tunnels to get here from Bergen. Including two undergroundabouts. Large carpark and wcs, Nearest town Eidfjord has a good array of food options including VIK Bakeri

Absolutely breathtaking view, it’s a must see! Great infrastructure to get the best of the experience. No tickets needed.

Beautiful place to see natures raw power! There is a nice walk way to get very close in a safe way to the gushing water! There is even a bridge over the waterfall!

Worth the trip up. Free and has clean bathrooms. Easy walk for families or challenging hikes for hikers.

The dam itself is ok. There is very little signage so recommend looking it up online before visiting. Facility wise it has a large car park and small WC. Good views of surrounding area, though, including the glacier on semi-clear day. It can be a little colder and windier than below so recommend a jacket.

Easy walk across the rock dam. Steep and narrow roadway to parking lot.

Great nature

(Translated by Google) Info for campers: Parking area without restrictions (finally) for 8-9 campers if well positioned. The surface is on flat asphalt. The road to get there is entirely asphalted and steeply uphill. No service even the toilets are closed, but on the other hand a beautiful view and pure air. Walks towards the lake or in the nearby woods are possible. (Original) Info camperisti : Area sosta senza divieti (finalmente ) per 8-9 camper se ben posizionati . Il fondo è su asfalto in piano .

Sono possibile passeggiate verso il lago o nei vicini boschi .

(Translated by Google) The Sysendammen is one of Norway's largest dams. It's impressively beautiful. We really enjoyed it here. It offers a fantastic view of the Sysenvatnet (large reservoir). There's plenty of free parking. A few campers were there. It's a great place for hiking, with wonderful views. (Original) Der Sysendammen ist einer der größten Staudämme Norwegens. Er ist beeindruckend schön. Uns hat es hier sehr gefallen. Man hat einen super Blick auf den Sysenvatnet (großer Stausee). Es gibt genügend kostenfreie Parkplätze. Ein paar Camper standen dort. Man kann hier sehr schön wandern, bei wunderbarer Aussicht.

(Translated by Google) Parking with a beautiful view of the mountains and the dam. No restrooms. (Original) Parking z pięknym widokiem na góry i tamę. Toalet brak.

What an unbelievable experience to finally see it in real life. It's a must see when you're in Norway

It's a bit off the beaten path but it's worth a visit. Service is nice but the guide that was present ignored us and wasn't very helpful. Would recommend a visit anyways - 100 NOK entrance fee is not bad

One of the oldest stave churches in the world. It was built in 1180 and too old but preserved very well. It has an entrance fee to go inside (not to see it from the outside). It was worth it! The construction made us awe struck. Sadly, there were no surviving paintings. The bell tower is under some renovation so we were not able to go up to see it. The staffs were friendly both at the exhibit and near the church as well. They helped us with the history. But it is recommended to first see the exhibit and understand the history before going in the church.

A place that worth visit if you're around. There are two main church's well conserved. They're kinda different of what you usually see. There's no much other things around the area, except for a museum and a small River

There are also spanish guided tour in the Church. Amazing!. A terrace for sunny days avaliable.

Beautiful and underrated church - highly recommended! This is a very beautiful church. In my opinion, even more impressive than Unesco Urnes Stave Church. It’s easy to reach, with a large parking area and surrounded by lovely nature and peaceful surroundings. Just one thing to keep in mind: the church closes already at 5 PM, which might feel a bit early during the summer season. So make sure to plan your visit accordingly.

Humble church standing next to the beautiful Borgund Stave Church, no less beautiful in its own way. We didn't get to enter the church as it was closed.

(Translated by Google) Very comfortable seats in the chair lifts. The alpine slopes were fantastic, newly groomed and nice. You will find both easy and challenging slopes here. The snow conditions are good. Powder snow is not unusual to find here. The prices are a bit high. I like that you can use the same lift card on both sides of Geilo, and that there are often ski buses between the ski centers (Original) Veldig komfortable seter i stolheisene. Alpinløypene var fantastiske, nypreparerte og fine. Du finner både lette og utfordrende bakker her. Snøforholdene er gode. Puddersnø er ikke uvanlig å finne her. Prisene er litt høye. Liker at du kan bruke samme heiskort på begge sider av geilo, og at det ofte går skibusser mellom skisentrene

(Translated by Google) I was here several times this winter. The slopes were magnificent and the lifts worked as they should. The weather was good and everything worked even though we were close to -20 outside. Can be recommended. (Original) Jeg var her flere ganger i vinter. Løypene var praktfulle og heisene gikk som de skulle. Været var godt og alt fungerte selv om vi var i nærheten av - 20 ute. Kan anbefales.

Cannot fault the service you get at the ski hire, reception or the cafe! Ski hire is always easy with good quality equipment. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

A great ski school! We booked a couple of private lessons for our daughter who has additional support needs and they were great. We had a telephone consultation with Joffrey and he made sure we got an instructor who would be well suited. Our daughter learnt to ski with Falko the instructor. He was a good teacher and he got on well with her and included her interest in throwing snowballs to make her lessons even more fun. We returned for another trip and booked her more lessons with Slaattaa ski school recently. Again we had a great experience. I reccomend Slaatta Ski School because they are helpful, friendly and fun.

A great place to start your ski trip! On this side you have sun!

Excellent lessons. Our daughter's were taught by Ingeborg Ovdal. They had an amazing time and progressed really well. Everyone was really friendly. Would recommend.

We visited during a school ski trip. 45 of us. Linda was amazing. She is running the whole place and she was massively helpful and on it. From sorting last minute lunch to calling the paramedics when one of our students got into difficulties. The instructors were fantastic and the ski equipment hiring team know their stuff!! Thank you!!!

Super friendly family run ski centre. Best prices on a good family friendly menu. Slopes are perfect for a family holiday with access to rest of resort. If you want to relax with the kids and eat well without blowing the budget, this is the place.

Amazing place for ski and specially for husky sledging

The one-day animal keeper experience for children was a valuable experience that cannot be had anywhere else. All the animals we met here were well cared for by experienced professionals, and all the staff here seemed to love their work and were happy to share their experiences and stories, providing interactive experiences with the animals to all visitors.

We expected little and received so much more! Honestly, this is one of the most beautiful small wildlife parks I have ever visited. The grounds are wonderfully maintained, with breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and impressive scenery everywhere you look. It’s clear that the animals are very well cared for, and the staff—who speak fluent English—are always ready to answer any questions with a smile. We were lucky enough to arrive just in time for the guided feeding session, led in English by the park’s owner herself. The tour with this warm and energetic lady was not only funny and entertaining, but also very educational. Thanks to her, we got to see the animals in action—and even had the chance to feed and gently pet the arctic foxes ourselves. The admission price feels more than fair for such an experience. Knowing that the animals are truly well looked after and that the guided tour is this engaging, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay even more. I was genuinely happy to support this place not only through the entrance fee but also by buying a few small souvenirs from the gift shop. On my next trip to your beautiful country, I will definitely return here again!

Great nature park with a variety of wildlife to see. Family really enjoyed the visit, especially the interaction with foxes, elks and reindeer during feeding. Definitely recommended!

The park is not suitable for non-resident tourists or those who don’t speak Norwegian. It’s large and features several native Norwegian animals, but don’t expect to see them all due to the size of the enclosures—unless you’re lucky. There are no guides on site, only signs in Norwegian or pictures of the animals. The park is not well adapted for wheelchair users. While some bike-friendly paths are technically usable by wheelchairs and there are ramps to shops and restaurants, the park lacks proper accessibility. There are no discounted entry tickets for families or wheelchair users, unlike what many international parks offer. There are also no accessibility features on the hills and slopes, which makes pushing a wheelchair extremely difficult. Significant improvements are needed regarding access and tourist support.

Wonderful experience, you get to see wolfes, bobcats, reindeers and other wild animals in a respectufully large area. The visit is commented by professionals who are passionate about their activity. I recommend spending the night on site where you get to enjoy the park in a more private atmosphere and participate to interesting activities, like milking goats 😃

Really unique experience with rare animals All animals have great parks to thrive We went up to the lake to have an even better view "Hyttene" are very cute and authentic EV charging station : watch out, there are no fast charging stations

Wonderful interactive animal park for all ages, the best part being the animal feedings (this includes feeding reindeers, moose and foxes in the ticket) or any additional experiences you may decide to pay for. Like many people mentioned it is pricey, but caring for all these unique animals I'm sure doesn't come cheap. We paid for the additional socialized wolf interaction and it was amazing, I highly recommend it. For anyone who is an English speaking traveler or a non-Norwegian speaker, all signs and feeding presentations are in Norwegian. So be sure to have downloaded google translate ahead of time. Definitely an amazing once in a lifetime experience and would recommended if you have the time and funds to experience this great park.

We just visited this beautiful stave church today and received a very interesting and insightful tour of the intricately and colourfully painted church. A big thank you to our guide! Would’ve loved to stay longer and explore all the other buildings on the premises!

Beautiful stave church and we had a lovely guided tour in it. Very interesting what the young woman explained. Then she suggested that we could look around the other buildings. All the old farm buildings are in very good condition. Pity it was raining.

Loved that a tour guide was available. A little open air museum is included in the ticket.

Beautiful grounds and buildings, but all buildings were locked and closed when we arrived on 02 Sep 24. From the sign at the entrance, it’s only open during tourist season.

A very beautiful old stave church and the surrounding open air museum was really interesting as well. Thank you for letting people take a look on the Norwegian architecture and how Norwegians have lived in the past.

Nice stop during a long trip. Get a guide, he knows interesting things about the church! Apart from the church, there are quite a few other buildings from ages past. There even was an elephant in the room.

My husband and I were lucky enough to be married in this beautiful place 3 years ago. We returned this week with our son and again made many happy memories. If you are passing you really must stop and take the time to look around. We look forward to returning again very soon.

At this season of the year (winter) not much to do there. They have only one jacuzzi, which is not enough for the capacity of the people visiting waterpark. Outside area is closed. Although they have nice sauna.

Very barely 3 stars. It is very worn down and one of 2 slides indoor did not work. No of the attractions outside was open since it was winter time. It is really expensive. We got bored after 1.5 hour. The kids loved it though. The water was a bit cold

Lovely waterpark. Not extremely large but big enough to have fun. Outdoor slides were fantastic especially during heavy rain. A lot of fun!

It is smaller than on pictures but big enough for parents with smaller kids up to 10 y.o.There are also many young people,but at least the inside area is not so very thrilling for teenagers.The place might need a renovation,that I bet would happen in time,but is still well kept.As for cleaning,I think all the places like this have it as a challenge as I haven't seen a single place where there is a person who cleans showers/toilets every 5 mins.We got tickets on half price,because we stayed in the hotel and for us it was worth to be there 2-3 hours.I suppose that's maximum one can stay,as you get bored after a while anyway.

Nothing special… need to be renovate, children area is really used.

Nice pool and a very reasonable price! It seemed a bit smaller but that didn't make the fun less. It would have been nice though to get a alert when waves start coming in the pool. Beware that they a pretty rough when you have a small child who doesn't know how to swim yet.

A very old and expensive swimming pool. We had fun with our four year old on all the slides; however the hotel should spend some money to update it. Many of the lockers didn't work, attractions that don't work, corroding metal work on the staircases etc.

If you're looking for real Viking history then this church is NOT! For you. Unfortunately this is a fake church, built as a tourist attraction, there are no graves around the church, no engravings in or around the outer walls. It's a copy, I would advise you to take this one off your to see list. The car shop, Biltema next door is older than this church. We were not impressed, it looks the part but there's no history involved in it.

Fantastic replica of the original. The guide was super helpful and friendly Also has a small viking village. The exhibitions were a bit weird but still good to visit.

A beautiful construction prepared for visits. To this is added the possibility of following it with audio and 3d glasses. The Santa Claus room is simply wonderful. You pay a high entrance fee. But it is worth it.

Not an original one but it was an enjoyable stopover on our way back home to Oslo from Voss.

This is just a replica, it is smaller and they charge 110kr to enter. Ridiculus.. The real one was moved to Oslo. Save your money and time and visit Torpo Stave Churc !

Fake church, copy of a church in Oslo. 100 krone for an adult. Better get 2 beers in the supermarket. Shop inside seems like a second hand shop

The only thing interesting was the church, Most things were just closed. I just recommend making a picture via the gate. Not worth the money.

Excellent exhibits and staff. Highly recommend catching a musical performance if possible. Their young performers are very talented and do a great job sharing the history of their instruments, songs, and dances.

Enjoyed seeing all of the different bunader in the indoor portion of the museum. We were lucky to see some folk dancing accompanied by Hardanger fiddle playing, and had a partial tour of the grounds. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic despite having to do the tour in English due to guests of mixed nationalities.

My wife and I visited the museum and the area in September of 2019. My family is originally from the area and they went out of their way to show us around so many sites related to my 3 times great Grandfather Aslak Olsen Lie. The museum itself is very impressive. We hope to be able to visit again. Thank you to all who helped us and made us feel welcome. Todd and Karin Moen - Phoenix, Arizona USA

Love that place! In the summer they have animals. The guided tours are interesting with knowledgable guided

Great place in the middle of Norway! Very helpful stuff!

Best with a guided tour. So much more to understand than what you can only see.

Beautiful combination of nature and old wooden buildings. Especially the folk dances and music was great.

Beautiful stave church, the oldest section dates from 1460.

This church is definitely worth a visit! The location and the interior are beautiful! The friendly guide gives a lot of interesting information and context about the church.

Old Stave Church. Its not many this old. 😊

Being Rollag this was amazing piece of heritage.

(Translated by Google) If you drive up through Numedalen, turn in and see the fine stave church. (Original) Kører du op gennem Numedalen så sving ind og se den fine stavkirke.

(Translated by Google) There is easy access to Rollag stave church, from National Highway 40 you turn off onto National Highway 107, and can continue on this until you enter National Highway 40 further away. Recommend the small detour, the church is beautifully and peacefully located, it is richly decorated, and the old cemetery is also atmospheric. Close by is Rollag bygdetun, also well worth a stop. Quoting from the pages of The Norwegian Church: "The medieval church was a small stave building, presumably with an apse-shaped choir and a chancel around it. The north and south walls of the nave, including sleepers and "staves" in each corner, are what remains of this church today. As the population increased, generations of "rollings" have expanded and rebuilt, demolished and painted walls, removed and added, based on what needs they had. Rollag church is not a solidified one museum object, but a living traditional building." (Original) Det er lett adkomst til Rollag stavkirke, fra Riksvei 40 tar du av til Fylkesvei 107, og kan fortsette på denne til du kommer inn på Riksvei 40 igjen lenger borte. Anbefaler den lille avstikkeren, kirken ligger vakkert og fredfylt til, den er gjennomdekorert, også den gamle kirkegården er stemningsfull. Like i nærheten ligger Rollag bygdetun, også vel verdt et stopp. Siterer fra sidene til Den norske kirke: "Middelalderkirken var en liten stavbygning, antagelig med apsisformet kor og svalgang rundt. Nord- og sydveggene i kirkeskipet, inkludert sviller og "staver" i hvert hjørne, er det som er igjen av denne kirken idag. Etterhvert som folketallet økte, har generasjoner av "røllinger" utvidet og bygd om, revet og malt vegger, trukket ifra og lagt til, ut fra hvilke behov de hadde. Rollag kirke er ikke en faststørknet museumsgjenstand, men et levende tradisjonsbygg."

(Translated by Google) Nice, small and you should definitely go inside, (Original) Leuk, klein en je moet zeker binnen gaan kijken,

It was amazing experience for kids and adults as well. I visited with my 2 year old son, 7 years old daughter and my wife. The park is very big and requires some hiking. Badebussen shows, dinosaurs land and badeland were highlights for my kids. Given the park was big, it was difficult to see many animals but we got good look at bear, crocodiles, snakes, wolves, and alpakka. Negative side was the park is amazingly expensive and if you’re going with kids stroller, expect some hiking up the hill. Can definitely recommend.

The Bear Park in Norway is a fantastic destination for a weekend trip with family. It offers a unique chance to see animals you normally wouldn’t encounter in their natural habitat in Norway. The enclosures are very spacious, which makes it feel close to the wild, but it also means that spotting the animals can sometimes be a matter of luck. That’s why it’s really important to check the feeding schedule in advance – during feeding times you’re almost guaranteed to see the animals up close. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to spend time outdoors, enjoy nature, and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Didn't expect the park to be so alive. In sp crazy hot weather, staff managed to bring out all of wild animals for public to see. Spend 3h in there. Super nice and friendly people around. With kids, it's one place you must go to. Highly suggest.

We visited the park during fall holiday. I was not sure weather it will be worth going but it turned to be a highlight of our trip. The park is built in a way that the animals can be observed in their real habitat. The feeding sessions are particularly exciting with the staff providing information about the animals, their habits etc. The advantage of visiting in October is that there were very few people in the park and that the trees look spectacular and add to the experience of the nature. Our 5 year old had the best time, despite some inconvenience of the rain. And so did we!

Fabulous zoo. We followed a schedule and got loads of interesting information about the animals and even managed to feed the foxes ourselves. My granddaughter had a great time.

We passed by the Bear Park almost every time we did a roadtrip in Norway and we were very intrigued to check it out. Safe to say we were a little disappointed. It’s good to keep in mind that the place is huge and on mountain tops, so there was a LOT of hiking to be done. In some places not even stroller friendly (even though the place is for kids). The animal feedings are pretty underwhelming, the bear is fed by a worker and we watch, so is the leopard. We only got to feed the red foxes, and because it was a large group inside, the experience was incredibly fleeting we didn’t feel like we had enough time to enjoy. The Kiwi outside the park was open on Sunday which was a plus. The only interactive parts were the farm (which could be found anywhere in Norway) and the crocodile aquarium. There was an indoor soft play area as well as a theatre for the kids which were nice.

This summer at the Bear park is special with Bukkene bruse show that making the day for my daughter. Dinosaurs are a pluss and look real. When you arrive the park, they will recommended you to follow their schedule of events. Feeding two brown bears and feeding fox are main animals show. The way to animals and places on the map are uphill. Don’t recommend with small weels of baby strollers. Some areas are very narrow and steep, so it is not suitable for who can’t walk long either. There has medium side of water park for kids. (Bring your own towels and swimsuits) The entrance/exit is colourfull of toys and souvenirs. Kids love this place but on a hot day we don’t likt it since they have fews space in the shade and not many seats.

Rather disliked this resort, feels weak in comparison to other in the area (Gausta, Kvitfjell etc). Lifts are painfully slow, lots of T-bars, takes forever to get from bottom to the top. On a chill afternoon of blues and reds, logged 2.5h of lifts for 1h of riding. Lots of icy patches due to wind, snowmaking is not enough and when it calls for the snow cannons, they don't use them, yet in higher winds with natural snow they do, so the result was snow anywhere except on the slopes (just why?). Staff is super friendly, but also lack oversight of slopes, so people that would get their passes revoked elsewhere ride here without any consequences. At times feels like that some are just clueless about their job, but in fairness I had great conversations with most, so it's organisatsional issue rather than people one (so please, more training and guidance). First night ski of the season was very weak, with massive queues and ungroomed slopes, though there was time for that, some sections weren't even lit up, which caused minor accidents, at least ones that I saw. Passes themselves are rather among expensive ones, but I don't think you get the value here for the money. I want to like this resort, slopes/routes are decent, variety is genuinely good, friendly folks and beautiful views, but organisation is a real mess and technical side is super weak, which leads to lots of frustration among fellow visitors. As such, it's just not worth it - unless you live in the area, I guess. There are plenty of better (organisationally) resorts in the vicinity, where I'd suggest diverting to have a better experience.

Great skiing second week of January, we basically have the slopes for ourselves, got very lucky with sunny weather, there is not a crazy amount of slopes to do but they are quite good! Although there are very few chairlifts and a fun Austria-like atmosphere of the whole ski resort is non existent

Didn't really get a chance to go skiing since I was trying to teach my kid but it looked like a super nice place with lots of slopes. I can tell you they have a special slope for sledding after the lifts close, which is cool

Great place for wintersport especially with kids. Lots of blue slopes but also for more experienced skiing/snowboarding. No waiting lines at the lifts.

Excellent for beginners and to teach your kids Alpine ski. The slopes are not steep and the black one is really wide. Amazing views for cross country ski

Close to oslo. Nice range of piste's. As someone told me "the longest run from top to bottom in norway" if that is fact I am not sure but my legs seemed to agree. The Afterski places are well spread out making it a bit difficult to carry on the party. There is a bus service to take you back to the spa hotel, but you can be waiting a while for it...

A lot of skiing and nice elevators. You get fast up and eaven faster down😜 nice place for kids and old people, experienced and unexperienced. You can go there and always be welcomed by the lice staff

Free exercise if you are up for 1078 stairs. Had to do 2 or 3 breaks in between to recover my breath. The restaurant at the bottom was a bit underwhelming and had the charme of a school canteen. If you bring a ball, there is an opportunity to play mini soccer in a cage. The zipline doesn't always operate on weekdays, except for the main holiday period in Norway, which is July and early August.

Have been here a couple of times. Walked down the steps in warm weather and was just there for Raw Air. Ski Flying is AMAZING! Well organized event for 15K people.

Amazing view from the top. In summertime you can walk all the 1078 steps to the top. Cafe, toilets in Vingen.

Interesting place for roadside geology. I found a lot of cambrian trilobites here! These are the fossiles of some kind of extinct marine artiopodan arthropod. And what a phantastic viewpoint!

Amazing place. Incredible views. Terrific staff.

Big skijumping hill, one hour train ride outside the Oslo!

World largest..need I say more? Oh btw.. 1078 steps from bottom to top

A great hike! Nature inside the canyon is amazing. Definitely with a visit! I highly recommend walking up within the canyon, and taking the woods on your way down.

2020.08 Visited the canyon on a Sunday. Had no problem with unpaid parking *     big parking spot under the cable car station *     about 8 spaces next to the gate *     16 spaces on the next road in line and on the sides of the road From the main road there is an about 800m walk up to the trail beginning (shutter road). When I was visiting there was a warning about entering the canyon (rocks falling spontaneously). There is a trail leading on the 'left' (western) side of the canyon within 50-100m of the canyon edge so you can peak in occasionally, but half the time trees obstruct clear view. Trail is short (1,5 km) and is ran quite naturally (no steps or man-made modifications). The trail running through the canyon is not very challenging for a fit person but be sure to take well impregnated shoes or water shoes. Even during dry time there are narrow points where you are not able to go through without stepping in a puddle. I personally discourage going there until the canyon is deemed safe again. I could see fresh massive piles of rock fall after a solid week of great sunny weather. At the top of the trail there is a quiet, clear lake where I believe you can swim. Lifebuoy x2 available and a pad for diving

Great hike in the Kjøsterudjuvet. Bevare if it has been raining it can be difficult to do. It is recommended to use a helmet.

Nice climb through the Kjøsterudjuvet. Good for kids, but under close supervision of an adult (1:1). At least one hour climbing, some steep bits with ropes and ladders. Don’t enter in heavy rain or when there is a lot of water in the stream. Mostly impossible to exit the canyon halfway.

Awesome little mini adventure. Great little trip to get some experience. If you choose to walk the trails above the crovas, be very careful not to get to close to the edge. It's a long way down. You can hike up the gorge and reach the lake further up. Take aprx 40 min

A steep hike up, but worth it as you can take a swim in the lake before heading back down. Very cool gorge.

Nice walk around, but it was lot of snow so I could not get closer to canyon. Up there small lake and ski and bike center near by.

Great pool and showers etc. The problem is the lanes that are marked for swimming are a joke. They are usually full of pensioners "paddling" up and down the pool at a snail's pace and blocking the lanes. Then at other times there is lanes marked off for swimming clubs and other clubs. If you swim in the middle of pool then you run the risk of someone jumping on top of you from the diving area.. Not very well managed in my opinion.

The pool is nice. There is no soap in the shower, there is hair dryer. There are pools for adults, for children and even for the youngest children. There is a cafe, you can eat at the tables near the pool. There is a sauna, it works according to the schedule.

This is a great swimming pool and great for friends and family. It's super clean and the fact you can buy food and drinks on the side of the swimming pool is really practical. My problem is that it can become boring really fast if you are alone or even with friends. The lack of activities and the fact that the pool isn't that big is a big issue. I,d give it 3,5 stars, but i need to round it up to 4 stars.

If you were to travel a long way just to spend a day at this place, I wouldn't recommend it. You would get bored quite fast. The place is actually nice and cozy, but I think the best use if this place is just to hang out with you're close friends, and you lived nearby this place. The food is great and the activities are nice. They have a warm bathing pool. A big and cold bathing pool where you can jump from three different heights, a baby pool, a slide and a sauna.

A large water park with everything the kids need to have hours of fun.

Very nice swimming pool for the kids and grown-up's.

Amazing place. I love It so much 😍

Beautiful location, overseeing all Drammen from the top of the hill. Keep in mind that if you walk by foot, it is a steep incline and not an easy stroll.

The spiral is easily accessible. The drive thru the spiral tunnel is interesting but I was wondering why would someone build this It offers great views of the town , the valley and the sea below.

Nice place to hang out. Many benches, large parking lot. Has even a bar.

The architecture is incredible. There's a road that leads to the top of the mountain, but it's not just any road - it's a breathtaking spiral road built inside a tunnel that cuts through the mountain. It takes you to the top in just a few minutes. It's an amazing experience!

Nice view for Drammen city and fun to drive through spiral tunnel. Recommend 👍🏼

Nice views of city, lots of hiking and trails around, possible to drive up to top

Thai is a one-of-it’s-kind human ingenuity wonder that has to be experienced by anyone coming to the Oslo/Drammen region 🎉 It is the spiraling drive inside the mountain that forms an elevator which is so unique. You will be greeted by a family of Spiral Mountain Trolls inside the tunnel as Norwegian folk tales have numerous stories about such creatures. Then you reach the top and breathtaking views of the Drammen city and valley all year round🎉 From the (paid) parking lot you have a restaurant, restrooms and views. Additionally there is an outdoor museum a short walk further up the mountain. This is a fantastic starting point for walks on lit trails in nature. All this is accessible for both wheelchairs and prams. If you are adventurous and want to walk up to the Spiral View then you can use the “Zig-Zag” trail with several starting points at the base of the mountain. The bonus walking up or down the mountain are the views 🌸

Very descent swimming hall for personal fitness and family leisure activities. I come here with sons quite often due to the variety of pools. I also come here to swim laps. There are 5 swimming pools catering the little ones all the to the more athletic 50m pool to shallow water pool catering to the more fragile of swimmers. There are also 2 water slides. Changing rooms are well kept with options for family type changing rooms. Light foods are also served. There is gym as well.

Can we start by saying the lack of empathy from some of the people who works in here ? I came with my son and I asked one of the people who works as a course teacher if I can borrow a toy so my son could play with me she said and I’m quoting “ nei” we don’t borrow stuffs. So I asked one of the lifeguard girls if I could and she said of course !!! Also, please make it easy for mothers who go with babies. Easy in the sense of the entrance in the changing rooms maybe a changing table? Also, don’t be rude. I don’t know why I got the sense of discrimination in here. I won’t ever come back here also the fact that it is expensive sorry won’t even come back and I won’t ever recommend a mom to come here!

Ends up to get pretty busy but I really enjoy the 50m pool. The main issues here are the changing rooms and facilities in general, they're worn out. You also better had bring some coins for the locker because they dont have the nice electronic band system like the other swimming pools in this part of Norway.

Terrible food, stay away. Fries+simple sausage for 94 NOK. Tasted awful, and as a bonus we got sick when returnering home.. Showers cannot be temperature controlled. Way too hot for small kids (40C+). Obs! No soap available in showers. Not many Norwegians to spot, although quite pricy. No-one seemed to follow the wash rules before entering the pool, despite visual illustration and translation to English. Decent pool activities, however a bit crowded.

We paid a lot of money for so many facilities that were 'out of order'. Some area was limited for use since there was swimming course going on every hour. This is winter vacation and many of us travelled from Oslo and further, so thumbs down to Drammensbadet.

Great place. Not so clothes norse girls. No beers. One need to pay 50 krones to access a bar where alcohol is allowed. The normal enter fee is Kr150.

A relatively recently constructed swimming hall, large and airy and easily accessible with car and public transportation (the train station is 10 minutes walk away). Has several swimming pools (both indoor and outdoor), water slides, jacuzzis, a small restaurant and a fitness centre. A good place to take the kids on a boring Sunday afternoon.

This is a gem. Indeed best visited during rather nice weather, at least not rain as most of the experience is had outdoors. Art scattered about in lovely natural surroundings with the unique aspect of a large, but quiet river running through the whole area. Easily count 2-3 hours for the full stroll along the path and the few indoor exhibitions, including a coffee break. The lack of a 5th star is simply because it would have been nice with a better cup of coffee, not just the cultural Norwegian powder version served from a thermos.

Wonderful museum covering a huge surface with both inside and outside spaces. While we did not find the exhibitions of outstanding quality, the balance between historical insights into the former buildings with the modern installations worked very well in our opinion. We also enjoyed how everyone could enjoy the museum in their own way, going for a stroll, sitting down in the grass or actively going from artwork to artwork. Would recommend!

The ticket costs 200 for adults and children up to 19 are free. Senior discount as well. The park and Musuem is huge with monument pieces all over and small gallery houses. The cafe and kids playground make it fun for all.

It was beautiful experience. We were visiting the museum in different parts of the year, and every season has it's beautiful features on display. Wonderful weekend tour from Oslo.

Such an underrated museum in Norway. It’s so peaceful and beautiful here. Just alot of walking so I won’t recommend if you can’t really take walks.

Lovely place. Went there on a rainy weekend. If you appreciate and enjoy art, its a nice place to visit. I like the architecture. Its amazing to see the structure. I liked the fountain most.

This place has improved since they introduced a fantastic fountain area which is perfect for kids especially on a hot day. There are water spraying jets coming from the ground and children can run through them freely. It is advisable to wear water shoes because there are some pebbles lying around inside. All around surrounding the fountain area is a kind of mirror maze which is pretty fun to walk through especially if you are a narcissist. Around the rest of the gardens, there are lots of big sculptures to see, a cafe, playground and temporary indoor exhibitions as well. Also, you can visit the historic logging factory buildings if you like industrial history as well. There are permanent sculptures outside and then the indoor areas have temporary exhibitions. Some of which can sometimes be a bit weird, while others are more interesting. Of course, the centerpiece is the Twist Gallery, designed by Denmark's rebel architect Bjark Ingels. I always find the art that they choose to exhibit here is not really to my taste. It's always modern art in any case, Which I sometimes enjoy, but haven't ever seen anything in the twist that was to my taste. Anyway, I think most of the visitors here are just interested in the overall experience and you could basically put a banana tape to the wall inside the Twist and no one would really care. Wait a minute…, that's not a bad idea….. 🍌 Also, if you are local, give your address and you get in FREE!!! Season passes! 🤘🏻

An exceptionally interesting, culturally stimulating, artistically enriching and historical! So exciting to watch the beauty of each unique piece being formed by expert crafters. Prices are Reasonable and the craft is so beautiful.

Hadeland Glassverk was founded in 1762, still in the period of the union between Denmark and Denmark and has been making glass articles ever since. You will have the chance to see the glassmakers work. Perhaps even make your own glass item! Before the existence of the factory, this location was a farm and you still can feel that atmosphere in the air. The area is scenic, close to the fjord, surround by forest, children friendly and accessible to all. Worth to go and stay half-day, or even a full day, if you are not in a hurry. Great place for souvenirs and not just made of glass! You will find parking, toilets, coffee shops and restaurants there as well. If you don’t have a car, worry not. There is a bus going there early. Definitely recommend it!!!

We went as the Christmas lights went on. We eat a traditional Christmas meal (yes in October). There were Christmas songs & we got to wander around the buildings & crossed the road for a fjord photo.

Loved our trip here. It's not just a glass shop. They have a bunch of little structures with shopping, food and gifts. Beautiful view and really family friendly. Kids were playing in the fountain and haveling a blast. We were able to watch the glass makers blow glass and they even let us try blowing glass. We spent about an hour and a half here. What a great place.

Loved the glassblowing demo — so fun to watch the artists create in real time. The shopping area has a great selection of unique glass art and gifts. Beautiful place and well worth a stop!

Enjoy a day visiting norwegian nature and finish in this old glass factory, art and tradition together plus buy some very classy souvenir. Just a round day to finish with a goffre.

We drove 5 hours from Flåm to try and make it before demos were over, but we arrived 15 min before closing. 😞 I had been looking forward to it being the last thing we did on our 9 day Norway road trip. We only got to walk in briefly and look around. It was empty. Thankfully, a lady in the neighboring glass store (I think the outlet of “mistakes”) invited us in to look around while they were closing up. Really nice pieces! Maybe some day we’ll be able to come back.

I absolutely have to give five stars to this museum! The visitor experience is top-notch. The way modern technology is seamlessly blended with the exhibits, along with natural background sounds like animal calls, made my visit truly memorable. There's also a fantastic view from the top — and in the summer, you can even ride the zip line! Highly recommended

Great place to visit and easy to get to on Metro with a station in the town. Check weather first though as there was a lot of hanging fog (especially as it is very high up) when we visited so disappointingly we had no view from the top. Jump is impressive though.

Very historic site but our purpose to go there was to do the Zipline. The museum is very nice and you learn a lot about the first expeditions to the artic and what it took to get there plus the Olympics as two events took place here sky jump and biathalon. After we looked around we made our to the top for the best view of Oslo there is and the Zipline. It's a short but fun Zipline and is worth the price we paid. All the staff were very nice and we had a fun time. We were on a cruise and the excursion come here but you don't get to go inside and do anything so we did it on our own and would recommend

Very nice museum; well kept, clean, and informational. Relatively small for the cover charge, but the trip to the top was well worth it. Phenomenal view. A really enjoyable bit of history about Norway and skiing with a good chunk about polar expeditions, and a really cool collection of skis.

The Holmenkollbakken Ski Museum is a fascinating stop that beautifully captures Norway’s deep connection to skiing. Located right beneath the iconic ski jump, the museum offers an engaging journey through over 4,000 years of ski history — from ancient rock carvings to modern Olympic achievements. The exhibits are well curated, interactive, and rich with stories that bring Norway’s winter culture to life. Combined with the panoramic views from the top of the ski jump and the nearby zipline, it’s a must-visit experience that blends history, sport, and breathtaking scenery all in one place.

Beautiful especially with the snow in pure blue sky not a cloud around Difficult access for older or people with a disability from the train station without a vehicle 10 to 15 minute uphill walk steep incline. Worth a trip in the winter if you really want to experience with a Ski jumpers must have. Bye the Oslo Pass admission and transportation from Oslo City Center are included with the pass.

Holmenkollbaken ski jumping hill, Oslo, Norway. It is an Olympic size ski jump that hosts international competitions. Though it was prepared for 1952 and 1968 Olympics but overtook all the lacunaes by 1975. This place also has a ski museum and a tower that offers breath taking views. Upon our visit during July 2025, some of us opted for the Zipline, after paying for it naturally, and had a 'mind blowing' experience as they later claimed. The vehicle picked them up, on the way, when we began our trip backwards.

What a great museum! Only a 30 min train ride from the main station in Copenhagen. The boats themselves, the supporting educational material, and the boatyard are all worth the visit. They even had great food. 🙌👏

Amazing film with real old ship to tell the story hundreds years ago...

Wow, this museum was awe-inspiring! The building itself is not very large, but the artifacts inside really do a great job of using the available space. The Viking ships themselves have been preserved very well. The other artifacts expand on the historical knowledge and understanding of the time. The Viking Ship Museum is a must see if you are in the area!

Great place with tons of history on display. Great findings from an era long gone. Ferry ride is lively also. You’ll need a bit more than an hour to wonder around. One of the most interesting things to do while in Oslo.

The most amazing artifacts I have seen. We spent the entire day here because there is so much to see. An original village, ships, and art. So beautiful! I would love to live in the neighborhood surrounding the museum! —2016

The Viking Ship Museum was amazing. Three 9th century wooden boats - it’s amazing they have survived! I loved every minute I had here, and got some amazing videos as souvenirs. I learned a lot about the Vikings and consider this museum a highlight of my trip Oslo.

Incredibly serene and beautiful. The ships are restored and laid out as though they sailed in. The exhibits are well organised and the information is very comprehensive. For me the projected video of the Viking raid and ship burial is jaw dropping. Such an incredible layout and building. Very much recommended for anyone with an interest in Viking history.

A fantastic day spent watching dancers, seeing artifacts and learning about Norwegian culture and history. Kind people great exhibits and lots to see. I’d say go on a weekend when they have more crafts people on staff. We visited each building cluster and the exhibition halls. We loved the variety of historic structures on display.

We originally came for the guided tour of the stave church, but unfortunately the museum had listed the wrong time on their website. We were quite disappointed when we arrived to find the tour had been moved an hour earlier. However, the staff immediately stepped up and arranged a private tour with Elise, and honestly — it turned out to be the highlight of our visit! Elise was absolutely wonderful — warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the church, the museum, and daily life in old Norway. She shared fascinating details with such genuine passion that you could tell this isn’t just a job for her; it’s something she truly loves. She even mentioned she wrote her master’s thesis on the subject, and it shows in every story she tells. Guiding us while wearing her beautiful traditional Norwegian bunad, she brought history to life in a way that was both deeply informative and heartfelt. Her ability to connect facts, folklore, and cultural insight made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting the museum — ask for Elise. You won’t regret it. She’s the kind of guide who turns a simple visit into something truly special. We’ll definitely be back next time we have friends visiting Oslo! 😍🙌

We really enjoyed our visit here. It’s such a beautiful and interesting place. There are many old houses and buildings that were moved here from different parts of Norway, and it’s amazing to see how people lived in different times. You can walk through homes from centuries ago and then see newer ones where you notice the big changes in design and interiors. I also loved that dogs are welcome here — it makes the visit so much nicer if you travel with your pet. There’s even a playground for children, so it’s a perfect place for families too. We spent several hours just walking around and enjoying the atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit when you’re in Oslo! 🇳🇴🏡🐾

Fun place to explore, especially the open-air village. You can walk through different time periods just by moving from one building to the next. One of the highlights is the stave church - it looks like something straight out of a fantasy movie and it’s even more impressive up close. The staff are friendly and don’t mind answering random questions. It’s the kind of place where you unexpectedly end up staying longer than planned. A really good visit.

Such an incredible museum, so many structures from throughout Norwegian history, endless interiors dressed for the specific period. There’s also 3 large exhibitions. And you can see actors dressed up in traditional wear whilst they do folk dance and music. So much to see, I actually nearly missed a lot of it!

The one thing as a tourist I wanted to see, was a Stave Church. I imagine this museum would be utterly fabulous in sun/dry/snow. Unfortunately we had torrential rain but it was the only time we could visit. I was still so happy to see the church - there are lots of interesting & beautiful buildings on the site. We loved it.

Lots of old Norwegian buildings all relocated to this museum. There's also history of some of the people that originally lived in them. Lovely place to wander around and see real history you can touch and feel.

This is a truly beautiful place to visit. It’s perfect for a peaceful walk, relaxing, or just take some time to think. The sculptures are amazing — all created by one artist, which is really impressive and gives the park a special atmosphere. We visited in autumn, and the colors of the trees made everything even more stunning. The mix of art, nature, and calm vibes makes this park one of the highlights of Oslo. Definitely worth visiting! 🍂🌳🇳🇴

A really interesting place to walk through. The sculptures are everywhere and you kind of end up noticing new details the longer you look. It’s a quiet spot even when there are lots of people around, and the layout makes it easy to wander without any plan. The big monolith in the center is impressive up close. Good place for a relaxed walk, photos, or just sitting for a bit. Worth stopping by if you're in Oslo.

Super cool and interesting sculpture park! 🗿🗿🗿 It's a great park to walk around and even had a great running path. Some of the sculptures are so strange and some we had seen on the internet before 😂 great expressions and motions!

Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway. Gustav Vigeland 1869, born as Adolf Gustav Thorsen, was a Norwegian sculptor. Known for his power of creative imagination and in his productivity. He created Vigeland installation and made Frogner Park into Norway's most popular tourist attraction, leaving visitors with a unique experience of sculptured human forms. The Frogner Park, with a clean, green and gorgeous flowers, is a large outdoor setting for picnics and walks. Naturally, their is no fee to enter the Park. Don't miss a visit if you can.

In my opinion, one of the five most beautiful works of art ever created by Europe and its people. Proof that Europeans, as a civilization, are far more advanced than all the others in these times when engineers and doctors are being brought in from countries where people don’t even know how to use a toilet. Fascinating.

Vigeland Park is one of the highlights of my trip to Oslo. The park is beautiful, with plenty of nature spots combined with immersive art with a theme of humanity at its centre. The sculptures are very unique and feel like they have purpose with the rest of the park. It is very interesting that it feels like one big fascinating exhibition.

Amazing park full of unique sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. It’s a beautiful place to walk, relax, and admire the art and green spaces. Peaceful, inspiring, and a must-see when in Oslo

Come to this museum before heading to the park! You'll get to see scale models, plaster replicas, and learn about Gustav Vigeland's process on his sculptures. It is much more fascinating to see about his works and what went into them before seeing the larger than life sculptures in the park. The Museum has all original works of Vigeland made from plaster, bronze, granite, marble, and including sketches. Scale models of what the park, and sculptures placements should have been. Worth the entry, and free with the Oslo Pass!

Fascinating museum containing the largest collection from Norway’s finest sculptor. Really worth a visit especially if you are intending on visiting the sculpture park as many of the designs used there can be seen throughout the development stage. Very interesting to see the development and maturing of vigeland’s work whilst his motifs and themes remained the same throughout !

Incredible museum, all the sculpture work is incredible. The building is amazing too, make sure to visit the park nearby too.

I have never heard about Gustav Vigeland before my trip to Oslo, and I was really impressed. This museum is completely dedicated to this splendid artist. Vigeland Park, which is very close to museum, is the cornerstone of the whole life of sculptor. So if you have seen the park, which is totally free, you have seen almost all you can look at in this museum. But there are more works there, which are not related to park, some pieces of information. Though this all is pretty expensive if you visit this museum without Oslo Pass.

Entrance is included with the Oslo pass. We visited after visiting the park and it was interesting to get the story behind how the park happened and learning about Vigeland's process and history. Not a lot of people here when we visited. The museum is a big square, so you can just follow it around in a loop, and it's all one level. We spent about 45 minutes here.

I visited the Vigilendo Sculpture Park for the first time 24 years ago. It is a place worth visiting twice in a lifetime: in youth and in adulthood. It is also worth visiting the Vigilend Museum, the former workshop of the artist, where the sculptures were born, located next to the park, once in a lifetime. A great idea in the museum was a contemporary art hall with changing exhibitions. A special experience was a guided tour of the sculptor's living quarters and a visit to the mausoleum, which we booked spontaneously.

I found the Vigeland Museum quite interesting. The sculptures are truly impressive and beautifully crafted, offering a unique glimpse into Gustav Vigeland's artistic vision. I spent about an hour exploring the exhibits, and it was a captivating experience.

The Fram Museum was a great surprise. The ship itself is the main attraction and you can actually walk on board and get a sense of how tight things were during the polar expeditions. There’s a good mix of history and hands-on displays, so it never gets boring. The lighting and sound effects inside help set the atmosphere without feeling like a theme park. It’s both interesting and easy to follow even if you’re not a big history person. Worth the stop for sure.

The Fram Museum is a fantastic museum with a lot to offer. It takes you on a complete journey of the most thrilling of the Arctic expeditions of the 19th and 20th centuries. Being able to board the Fram is incredible and immersive - with audio and visual FX used to try and show you the surroundings that you would see if you were on this ship. One problem I had with this museum is it almost has too much information at your disposal. I found that going around, I was bombarded with different aspects of the history but the structure of the museum meant that I was confused as to where I was at in the timeline or why things had happened. I think it would be great if the museum was better laid out, maybe by starting by first introducing where the quest for exploring the Arctic came from and the people and expeditions that came before the Fram. Now this information actually does exist, but it exists in the tunnel that you find on the left as you enter, but I didn’t go down this path until after visiting the Fram. It would’ve been great to have this context before being thrown into the Fram expedition immediately. Another thing is that the first thing I started reading is about the boat Polar Station going to the Arctic soon… this didn’t feel as organised as it could be to me. It’s a weird thing to say that there’s too much information here, but it was difficult to retain information and consider it throughout the whole exhibition when it wasn’t laid out in a chronological way. Aside from this, the museum is really incredible. I recommend this for people of all ages!

Great museum. The main attraction is Amundsen's polar ship, the Fram. The ship is beautifully presented and can be viewed both inside and out. The rooms below deck are particularly impressive. Lots of information boards and films explain all the details of the expeditions. Absolutely fascinating and, for me, one of the best museums in the world.

Amazing visit, we just wanted to find a place for our visit in Oslo, never expected the museum. It turned out the museum was amazing and the polar expedition related story and knowledge totally grabbed our eyes! We enjoyed the time and had a lot of fun there.

This was a really interesting find. We hadn't planned it but found it when we went on the Hop on Hop off bus. Really interesting and different. Knew very little about Artic or Antarctic exploring and this museum just presented it all so well. Really very interesting.

We enjoyed the flight simmulator a lot. It was something different. Great to see the inside of ship and how things used to look and work. History is very interesting. Would recommend visiting this museum

Incredible! You can certainly get a good feel for everything about the Polar explorations and exploits if you only have a few hours. However for a comprehensive learning experience you can spend all day. My last visit was just the Fram and Kon Tiki, 6.5 hours total.

The palace itself does not look very pompous, rather restrained (we were on a tour inside and it was not particularly interesting), which definitely has its own architectural charm. Naturally it's worth a visit. It's interesting to watch the guards, especially if you get to their shift change and watch a little free show. Also, the park near the palace is very beautiful and worth going all the way around it 🌳 If you buy tickets inside the palace get ready that there will be a small queue, and checks before you go in like at the airport (which is logical because the king lives in the palace) And yes, it is forbidden to take photos and videos inside

The Royal Palace in Oslo is truly impressive, both for its elegant architecture and its historical significance. The surrounding gardens are beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfect for a relaxing walk. It’s a peaceful escape right in the heart of the city, with plenty of spots to sit, enjoy nature, and take photos. Definitely a highlight to visit when in Oslo.

Changing of the guard is at 1:30pm. Respect is vital and giving the guards space for the ceremony will let everyone see what is going on. Beautiful big building in a lovely park setting with memorial statues. Stunning in its autumn colours.

Nestled in a beautiful park in the center of Oslo you will find the Royal Palace. In off peak times, it is a wonderful and peaceful place to relax. The guards are very accommodating if you wish to take your picture with them, just stand outside of the arc...

Nice big open space in front of the palace surrounded by lots garden plants and trees! The Maud statue just on the left side of the building. The palace was close at the time of our visit and we didn't visit at the time of changing of the guard but the place still is lovely to visit. There was a storm the night on the weekend we were in Oslo so there was a number of fallen trees in the area 😢

It was closed when I visited, but the surroundings were still worth the stop. The area is open, relaxing, and well kept, and I got to see the guards on duty which added a bit of character to the visit. Nice place for a short walk and a look around.

The Royal Palace and its surrounding park offer a blend of history, architecture, and serene green spaces. The palace’s exterior is impressive, and guided tours reveal royal heritage and elegant interiors. The adjacent park is perfect for a peaceful stroll, with manicured gardens and lovely city views. It’s a must-visit for history lovers and anyone wanting a glimpse into royal life.
