The Norwegian Museum of Science is so much fun. I like how many different subjects one can find here. Starting from engendering , going through medicine and mechanics. Everything is easy to understand, there is info in English almost everywhere and also additional activities. You can easily spend at least 3-4 hours here. Parking is free, so no need to worry about rushing. The cafe has great lentil soup and coffee options.

I don't even know where to begin! This amazing place has it all! We were expecting a fly-by visit to tick it off our Oslo museum list and ended up staying for several hours. If you have young kids and want to take the family on an incredible day out, this is a must-do. I barely took any pictures, it was that much fun. The museum takes you on an evolutionary journey through various technologies, including sound, vision, medical, transportation etc. Not only can kids learn so much about how our technology has evolved through time, there is so much for them to enjoy and interact with. It's educational, and fun. They even have actual planes and a train on the top floor of the museum! Even I turned into a kid seeing various gaming consoles I played with displayed there. This place boasts a canteen, gift shop, several restrooms, and lockers to store your coats and bags. Each section is as exciting as the next one. It's a facinating journey that everyone should experience, no matter how young or old you are. If you're visiting Oslo, set a day aside to explore this one! You won't regret it!

Absolutely fantastic museum. This is a MUST if you are visiting. There is plenty in English, though some things aren’t translated. The first floor has a LOT of hands on exhibits. There is something for every age. The building is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, so make sure you plan for plenty of time. Use the Oslo pass to get in for “free” and take the 54 bus or the 12 tram to get you there. I cannot express enough how great this museum is.

Diverse. Interactive. Informative. Definitely worth visiting if you're into music, transportation, medicine, energy, how things work, and science in general.

Great museum! A lot of different kind of exibitions, a lot of interactive atractions. Especially it suits for the children, but adults will find many interesting things for them too . You must visit it during your stay in Oslo!

This gem of a museum deserves your (and your family’s) full attention. A history of human progress, persistence, risk-taking and reward. Individuals pushing the boundaries of what is commonly thought possible this advancing the human race and reaping every dime of their well-deserved rewards.

Good place for kids. Spacious. Clean. Updated and relevant. Needs to have more weekday things for kids to take part in. Would also help if all exhibits have translations

One of the best technical museums I have visited in Europe. Just beside Kjelsås Station and can reach there by bus 54 or 25. Museum has 3 floors and every floor has a unique display of its own. Children above 6 years can enjoy the place most and adults likewise. Every floor has clean bathrooms and a feeding room on 1st floor for nursing babies. Entire museum plus the premise is wheelchair friendly with huge lifts on every floor. Gift shop and restaurant is on 1st floor with outdoor seating. Another attraction is a small stream and dam beside the museum to relax on a sunny day. Enjoy! Tip- Plan atleast 3 hours to visit entire museum and it closes at 1800 every weekday.

Most of it was really nice. Some of the exhibits didn't have English and we're a bit dated. The kids had a real blast in the basement activities and when the technology worked it was really nice but the AI exhibit was a bit confusing on how it works and we all had different issues. Overall we really enjoyed the day we spent and was worth kt

So fun!! Kiddo loved it and we the adults also. You kan do experiments and learn about a lot of techs. Recommended!!!

Very cool museum, out of the city center but easily reachable by public transport! Included in the Oslo pass it’s a must visit! I could have stayed in for an entire day considering the amount of stuff to see and do! There is an huge science experiment section which is great if you visit with kids!

The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology (Teknisk Museum) is a part of Oslo called Kjelsås that could be reached from the city centre by train, tram and bus. In the modern building are exhibitions on science and technology that are focused on several topics. On the ground floor is presented the development of different means of transport (cars, railway), the technology used in entertainment, the science of musical instruments, and the history of medicine as well as industry. Many showcases are supplemented by interactive panels that allow one to learn more about the subject. Furthermore, it is possible to have a conversation with artificial intelligence on selected topics. In the basement are interactive workshops and exhibitions related to technology, physics, chemistry and medicine. These through the play can teach one interesting issue related to these branches of science. They are prepared for visitors of every age providing entertainment and knowledge. In the museum is a lot of places to rest and relax, including a restaurant providing a variety of meals.

Pretty large museum. Spanning for an old mummy to oil and gas sector to electricity and power to musical instruments to medical services to cars of modern Norway. Takes around 4 hours to see it all patiently. So make sure you have enough time in the day, better to come with friends who are interested in history and stuff and not ones who just look and move on. There's a cafeteria as usual.

Really nice and educational place for both adults and children. Went there during July month which is most people are off work in Norway, no long queue to get in and enough parking spots. Easy to commute, either with train, bus or car. Plenty of parking (which is totally free by the way)

With no doubt this is the best museum in Oslo. You should spend here one full day to see all that staff. Everything is so perfect, there is also a gaming zone, you can spend here time with your family. There are many historical artefacts which reminded me my childhood. So nostalgic. You can find there for example some cars, computers, doctors' equipment and more staff. You can use here Oslo pass for free entrance. I really recomend this musem.

Great museum with both permanent and featured exhibitions. Lots of things to interact with. Easy access for all, no problem moving around with a stroller

Very much more a "historical science museum" than a science center just in case you assumed otherwise. By that I mean not super interactive, lots of reading and not touching. I don't understand how the average review is 4.5 stars. I've visited once as a solo adult and 5 years later with my 3 year old. Nothing has changed in 5 years. The basement has some interactive activities for kids, but pretty underwhelming options and quality. The exhibits are boring and dated. Not much is inspiring or exciting here, which is the opposite of my experience (as a child and adult) at the Toronto science center (for example). I think this place needs an overhaul (a la new bjørvika library). There is amazing new science and technology being developed in Norway that should be exhibited, or at least have temporary / rotating exhibits. Like, shouldn't this place inspire the next generation to be interested in science and technology?

My 9 year old son & I were here for 4 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. We went systematically through all of the exhibitions and also did a scavenger hunt for letters in order to be a part of a draw for a prize. We also got to go to a science show where a young scientist did chemistry & physics experiments with explotions! (included in our ticket to the museum. There was a large coat rack & locker room with lockers that you deposit 10kr in and get back upon opening the locker. There were also 20 coat rooms for visiting groups (daycare & schools). Very organized. Best of all was the many hands-on activities in each exhibition area. 👌 Would recommend the museum mostly for kids. Also smart to go on a day many others don't go (weekday) so you don't have to wait in line for the coolest hands-on activities. There are a few picnic tables for eating self-brought meals and a cafeteria-style Café.

This Technical Museum is another world of rich history. Located on the bank of a beautiful river, technical museum has a great collection of technical instruments, machines and technology covering every area of our daily lives. It is very informative for not only adults but also the young kids. I will recommend everyone to visit this museum at least once in life.

Available on the Oslo pass otherwise a little on the expensive side. Many but not all exhibits have English information. Good for children and adults alike. Essentially industrial history with a nod to Science, but none the worse for that. Unusual to see but well put together information on North sea oil and gas. Children's interactive area on lower ground floor, other exhibits have fewer interaction opportunities. All in all well worth a visit and easily accessible from central Oslo by public transport; approximately 35 minutes.

A lot to see, you could probably spend a whole day if you want to look at everything well. There were good facilities as well. There was an AI route which was fun. Some devices/areas were out of order or in maintenance

Viel anzusehen, hier kann man mal ein verrrgneten Tag verbringen. Interessant für groß und klein. Mit der Oslo Card ist der Eintritt kostenlos. Der Parkplatz ist offt sehr voll. Anreise mit den öffentlichen kann ich empfehlen, die Haltestelle ist nur ca. 50m vom Eingang entfernt.

Sehr sehenswertes Museum mit tollen Exponaten zum ansehen und teilweise auch zum Anfassen. Es bietet für Kinder unzählige Möglichkeiten sich zu beschäftigen und viel Spaß zu haben.

Great place for both kids and adults. Lots of interesting and educational stuff. The only disappointment is the food. Food tasted bad, and with a child, it was much more expensive than breakfast in a five-star hotel in the center of Oslo.

Very excited when we came here. A lot of collections in the museum and we can try them. And the transportation collection in there was very amusing. Really had a good time in there

Not a bad place to spend few hours with children. Educational and informational on many science and medicine topics. Cool collection of old cars too.

I really liked the museum. Everything's very interactive and thought provoking with a focus on renewable energy sources. Some of the exhibitions explain how the human body works and how the brain processes the information. There's a lot of basic technical stuff (how a plane works, what's electricity, propagation of sound in vacuum) geared more towards children, so the little ones will be happy. Would especially recommend visiting the exhibition devoted to music reproduction (Robots of Music or something like that - it's on the first floor): there are audio examples of how exactly this or that historical thingamajig sounded like. Fans of techmoan will appreciate it. The restaurant is fine. Cheeseburgers and salads are satisfactory. Great choice of pastry and sweets.

Quite good. Exhibits are nicely placed. Tickets are costly in my opinion especially for tourists like me since lot of the exhibits didn't have descriptions in English, which was bit of a disappointment.

Excellent experience, creative and interesting museum. When you come inside, forgot to leave. Must see if you travel to Oslo.

It was fun, interesting and interactive but a little caotic. I had all the time the feeling i miss miss something because the museum has so many corners and turns. But all in all it was a great experience. Thanks to the team.

Worth visiting,if you are in Oslo.Its amazing to see a huge passenger aircraft parked on 1st floor of the museum. It was fun to be there. Minimum 3 hours are required to see everything.Its a Great place to visit with kids. Fun to play some experimental games.There is a full fledged restaurant/cafe in museum and food is really nice.

Fantastic place, but! Some of the exhibits lack description in English and there is no possibility to enjoy it for visually impaired people (no Braille description, no audio description). The museum might want to work on its accessibility.

Amazing museum. It is a 30 minutes ride with bus 54 from Oslo. For kids it's an amazing and educational place. Lots of thing to discover.

This is a great place to visit with children. Fun interactive exebition! Restaurant OK too!

Fantastico!! We had a blast. With a son and a daughter (10 and 13). Alot to learn and do/look at. Alot of corona restrictions, but we had fun!

Very informative and helpful for students

There was a great section for the kids to play and experiment. But no where else. They need to put this all around the museum. Alot of things were closed because of covid.

Nice place to visit. Kids will enjoy a lot.

Great place to visit. Many interactive activities for children. Canteen could be better, so it's better to take food with you.
