I went there with my no-techno interest attitude, and boy was I surprised. Gadgets, eksperiments and blood pressure instruments that you could test yourself. I loved it, and so did the kids.

We took the tram to this museum yesterday from downtown Oslo and had a wonderful time exploring this huge museum. It has quite a variety of exhibitions; something for everyone. I especially liked the hands-on aspect of many of the exhibits, including the replica beating heart. Neat! The kids had a blast playing the electronic drums in the music exhibit,... More

On the outskirts of urban Oslo is this museum filled with technical goodies, both new and old (but mostly old). Kids will love it, as will adults. Admission isn't free like the cultural museums in Oslo are.

I'm a bit more interested in Technology than average, but it is possible for almost anyone to really enjoy this Place.

This is a very hands-on museum. A lot of demos in the fields of everything from physics to musical recordings, mirror rooms and heat cameras. Lots of fun for kids, too, with an especially designed area for exploring mystical things . The cafeteria is a bustling experience with reasonable food.

This museum was the best attraction in Oslo if not the best in the Nordic region. We spent about 3 hours there and could have stayed longer. There is a little bit for everyone. There is a section for the automobile - real cars. And the airplane. Section on music - the history of the phonograph to present day. Great... More

Take the tram or the train (Gjøvikbanen). Lots of activities for children and things to see. They have a gift shop and a basic snack bar.
