TusenFryd Amusement Park
Everyone loves an amusement park, and TusenFryd offers all the main attractions: thrilling rides (with names like SpinSpider, SpeedMonster, SuperSplash, Nightmare, and ThunderCoaster, who can resist?), challenging games, food, shopping and more! In the summer there's even a special water park section, with pools, a river, slides, and beach volleyball. The park caters for children of all ages, no matter how tiny.

Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology
There's something about kids' natural inquisitiveness that gels perfectly with science and technology - they love learning about how the world works. This national museum is the perfect place to inspire that curiosity, with over 20 temporary and permanent exhibits, plus a Robot Centre, a Planatarium, and a cafe serving kid-friendly food.

Bogstad Open Farm
A perennial favourite with the children of Oslo, this municipality-run farm has an entire menagerie of animals for your little ones to meet and pet. Horses, rabbits, cows, goats, chickens, sheep and even the occasional pig will delight animal lovers young and old. (Image: Bjoertvedt via Wikimedia Commons)

International Museum of Children's Art
Most parents feel their children's creations should be enshrined in a gallery, but for the lucky kids featured in this cheerful museum, their work actually is! The International Museum of Children's Art presents the work of children from 180 countries around the world, and the art on show goes beyond the standard crayon scribbles to include paintings, textiles and sculptures, too.

Oslo Reptile Park
Kids are generally fascinated with creepy crawlies, and this is a fabulously educational place to let them get up close and personal with over 100 different species. There geckos, chameleons, grass snakes, a poison dart frog, turtles and fish; plus boa constrictors, varans, tarantulas, a scary black widow spider and even a dwarf crocodile! The park is in the city centre and easy to reach from many Oslo hotels. (Image: Bjørn Christian Tørrissen via Wikimedia Commons)

Frognerbadet Waterpark
For little swimmers, there's no better place to spend a summer's afternoon in Oslo than this open-air public bath, complete with pools, slides, and diving towers for the adventurous.

NRK Events
NRK stands for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, and for those interested in seeing behind the scenes in a working television studio, there are guided tours that show you the action. You can also learn about the history of your favourite programmes (including popular kids' shows) and try your hand as a weather, sports or news presenter - great for budding journalists.

There is also an extensive Botanical Garden to explore, brilliant for those keen to imagine a jungle adventure. (Image: Daderot via Wikimedia Commons)

Nobel Peace Centre
While this may not initially seem like an overly exciting proposition for kids, the exhibits here feature some exciting technological effects that are sure to capture their imaginations. Plus, there's a special 30-minute activity designed for kids that lets them learn about promoting peace, and lets them take home a piece of the Centre at the end. (Image: NatalieMaynor via Flickr)
