This is one of the top attractions in Oslo. Recommend the visit, great to see a ski jump up close. Terrifying height, but so worth it.

Such a fun time - we did the zipline, which is the right mixture of terrifying and clearly very safe! The staff were excellent and added to our enjoyment. I loved the ski museum - very interesting polar exploration exhibits and narratives, and the Blakollen play area for kids fascinated every our unimpressable 11yo, and I enjoyed watching the fun the other kids there (from 9months old up) were clearly having! Not a cheap day out, but good return on the investment we felt.

Nice little museum. But the real highlight was going up to the viewing platform. Great views across the city can be seen. Gives you an idea of how high these people who ski jump, jump from!

Very interesting place, with beautiful drive to get to it. Stopped here as part of bus trip. Didn't get enough time to be able to take the elevator to the top, so be sure to do this stop on your own to fully enjoy what it has to offer!

Lots of fun exhibits to look at especially if you‘re into winter sports. The view from the top of Holmenkollen is beautiful and it is insane how someone is willing to just ski down the very steep decline and jump. The architecture is also very interesting.

Exciting, amazing!!
A bit of an after thought but so pleased we decided to visit this fantastic attraction.
Should be on top of any visit to Oslo.
Not much of a head for heights, but had to ignore that. Took the l8ft to the top for stunning and a little scary view !!

The museum is small and not very spectacular. It has a nice section dedicated to children. What attracted me was the fact that the entrance ticket also offers you the opportunity to climb to the top of the ski jumping tower, from where you can see the whole city and the fjord.

A nice small ski museum with the history of ski.
There is also a very nice play area for kids and the biggest highlight is the view from the top of the ski jump. Definitely a place you must visit if you’re in Oslo.

I'll be visiting in July, I don't like to ski or any other snow activities, but I'm fine with heights and ziplining, and maybe the museum! How much time should I allow for that?

We did a 1/2 day bus tour toward the end of Spring for which this was part of. They allowed us approx 30mins here which was ample time although we didn’t do the museum we did the simulator. If you’ve never seen a ski jump just do it to realise the angles lengths and enormity of this.... given the time of the season you maybe allowed to go to the very top!!!
I bet you you will ski jumping with a different mindset forever!!!!

take the metro (T-bane) from Oslo Central Station- Westbound Line 1 to Holmenkollen. walk up hill from there.
Or go by a Oslo Sighteeing Bus to see more museums, like the Viking Ships and the Vigeland sculpture Park.

Hi. We plan to visit the ski jump in a few weeks. We are staying in St. Hanshaugen. Did you catch the train from Central Station or another spot in Oslo to go to the ski jump? Or is there a Bus that goes there? Thank you for your guidance.

From St.Hanshaugen it is easy to walk to the city center (og to Karl Johans gate and take the t-bane nr. 1 to Frognerseteren(end station at Holmenkollen, near 500 meater over the sea level and the panorama view over Oslo). Go out at Besserud station and you have 5-10min walk to Holmenkollen ski area and the museum. It is also nice to walk around in the area in Holmekollen,
