This place is stellar!…read more We did a road trip and drove from Maura to Verdens Ende which is a 2.5 hours drive and it doesn't seem like it because everywhere you look is beautiful. My cousin suggested going here and the day we went was perfect because it was a holiday for Norwegians and sunny. Literally the weather dictates what you wear and do. My family prepared a picnic and off we went. There is paid parking on a dirt lot. Make sure even on a sunny day to bring a scarf and a jacket, You never know. On this day it was sunny thou very windy and chilly. There is public restroom which is clean and free. There is also a restaurant on the premise overlooking the ocean and rocks. The rock formation is stunning. The wind has smoothed out the rocks and during hot summer days, you can swim in the water. It's very peaceful here, beautiful and every turn is a photogenic moment. A great place to go with your loved ones.

Not only is this a huge sculpture of a small boat with men hunting with spears on top of a whale's tail, it is a sculpture that is in the middle of a fountain that looks magnificent when the water splashes all around it, making it seem as if we are on the set of a scene picturing the early 1900's when the men went out to catch these huge creatures of the sea. Beautifully lit during the night, it's admirable at all hours of the day, especially during summer. BUT not only is this a fountain of art, it also has the funky feature as it rotates a complete 360 degree turn during an hour. Sounds crazy, but believe me it's true. You can sit by the benches and admire it, look away for a few minutes and BOOM, the man with the spear will aim at you viciously! You've just got to check this out for yourself!

Always a must- okay maybe NOT if you have been twice and in the last 7 years…read more.. But if it's your first time in Oslo especially give yourself at least 2 hours to walk all the way in and about, around and out. This is a classic outdoor sculpture garden all done by one man-so not common. Massive grounds. Beautiful park walk and fountains and views. Iconic place and I highly suggest you go to his small museum first so you can get more history on Gustav Vigeland and the evolution of the his 200 pieces turning into the "Frognerpark."
