For a different kind of museum take a train out of Oslo and up into its surroundings. The crowds…read moreon the train thinned out quite a bit and there was maybe a dozen of left to walk through the downpour and up to the entrance of the ski jump and museum. Admission was included in the Oslo Pass and was one of the more unique offerings. If one comes back in the winter then you can experience ski jumping for yourself. As part of the museum admission we did to ride to the viewing platform at the top of the ski jump and took in the almost 360 degree views. We also got an almost direct view down the ski jump. Personally not for the faint hearted but a very unique experience. Inside the museum they included a good variety of exhibits from medalists, evolution of Holmenkollen since its founding, history of skiing equipment and sport, a kiddie section, a ski making shop and more. There also were two interactive exhibits to test how much you could pull, as in a sled, and a skiing competition. A large gift shop was by the exit along with a ski jump simulator ride (separate fee). Well worth it. A Scandic hotel was located practically next door if one want to spend more time.

Kings and trees…read more Palace Park is a unique and cool park that is literally built around the royal place in Oslo. It was open to the public back in 1847 by King Oscar I, two years before the royal palace was completed. It's been open to the public year round ever since. The park is over 50 acres with the massive palace dominating the center of the park. Since the palace is on a hill it has some nice views of the surrounding area. The rest of the park has walking paths, statues and lots of trees and flowers. Most of the trees were planted back when the park was new and are huge and lovely. The park today is more open than it was in the past and has less trees and green areas, probably because there are far more people using the park today. The park is fascinating not only because of the cool statues, trees, greenery and royal guards, but because you can get right up to the royal palace. A very cool park to walk around, explore and get a glimpse of Norwegian royal history.
