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.

Interesting stop as part of the tour. This is the ski area part of the city and a former site of…read moreWinter Olympics. We were here during summer, so it serves as a zip line. You can really appreciate the crazy slope when it's used as a jump. I have even more respect for Olympians and people who do this sport. Amazing!

I only had a chance to do the last two. I have done ropes courses many times through team building exercises, and I ziplined through the jungles of Costa Rica last year. There is one VERY significant difference between those experiences and Oslo Sommerpark... no rest for the weary. Every other ropes course would have a challenge station, where you would go up, complete the challenge, and come down. Then you would walk to another station. Same thing for ziplining in Costa Rica. You would go to one or two stations, scream your head off, then hike to the next one. Not in Oslo. Here you could have as many as ten different challenges in one go before you ever see a way to get down. Plus, you are self belayed with a magnetic system, so you are really on your own. (There is someone monitoring a few challenges at a time, but there doesn't seem to be a way for them to get you short of an emergency). If after five of these things you are tired of balancing on wires and just want to take a break, too bad so sad... keep going. That being said, it is a lot of fun. I was there with my team from work, and it was certainly a chance to unwind while climbing in the trees. I definitely recommend it, but you WILL finish what you start.

There's also an art installation that is only open on Sundays that is super cool. You can't take photos in there and really makes you stay in the moment while inside.

If you are visiting from out of Norway, I highly suggest seeing this, even if you aren't that big into hiking or the outdoors. There is also a sky space and light exhibit that is open on Sunday's, so if you have a choice try and go then between 11:00 and 16:00, no photos are allowed but it's very relaxing.
