I can't think of any place I would rather be on a warm summer day than jumping into the cool clean water of the outdoor pool in Oslo's lovely Frogner Park. You can admire the statues by Gustav Vigeland while dangling your feet in the water, and watching your children splashing about in the children's pool one level down. The pool is a full 50m long and there are also diving boards at 1, 3, and 5 meters. Entry is by single admission or "klippkort". Can't wait to get there!

Entry to pool on Middelthunsgate, in Majorstuen

It is fabulous stunning scenery that holds hundreds of sculptures of Vigelands, very interesting, amazing and easy to walk by.

Also you can't go away from Oslo without a trip by local ferries to the little islands, some inhabited, others not. They are in the fiord of Oslo, like Lindoja or others. It is very easy to access and they are nature parks with easy paths and plenty of beautiful flowers and plants.

Vigeland Park. Acces by tram.
Lindoja, Access from the boats local ferry station, in center of the city, passing through the big cruise docks, and go along. Easy access to the docks to the island by tram or bus.

This unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland. There are more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron set in beautiful park land close to the City. A monumental artistic collection with a human message. Excellent cafe too.

The park is open all year. Easy to reach - 20 minutes from the city centre by Tram.

A huge park full of scupltures by the famous Gustav Vigeland.

Kirkeveien, Frogner, Oslo - take the underground to Majorstua (all the lines pass here), and then walk about five minutes to get to Frognerparken.

Vigeland Park is a huge park in which to stroll and browse the sculptures of Vigeland - both bronze and stone – which are overwhelming in their beauty and size. The children I was with were climbing all over the sculptures at the top of the stairs, near the monolith crawling with naked stone bodies! What a wonderful experience. Ideal in summer, but lovely in winter too.

Right in the centre of Oslo;

The park can be found in western Oslo, and has hundreds of statues by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland, a man obsessed with the body and its relationship with nature. In summer, the kids will enjoy the nearby waterpark, in winter they can skate at the ice-rink.

Main entrance: Kirkeveien
