Holmenkollen Ski Museum

I absolutely have to give five stars to this museum! The visitor experience is top-notch. The way modern technology is seamlessly blended with the exhibits, along with natural background sounds like animal calls, made my visit truly memorable. There's also a fantastic view from the top — and in the summer, you can even ride the zip line! Highly recommended

Good: ✅ The highlight is definitely the jump tower! Museum admission includes a diagonal elevator ride to the top of the ski jump tower. ✅ Great cafe located in museum lobby—admission not required. ✅ Excellent gift shop adjacent to museum lobby—admission not required. ✅ The lower portion of the ski jump hill is an amazing piece of infrastructure—admission not required to view and/or explore. ✅ Friendly staff at museum front desk. ✅ The museum displays are first class. I’m not particularly a fan of skiing, but it was still an interesting museum to explore. In summary, there is nothing bad to report. For me, the appeal was certainly the free exploration of the lower portion of the jump hill and the (paid) trip to the tower top. I likely would not have visited the museum on its own, but that’s not to say it’s not a great museum—because it truly is. It simply depends on one’s interest.

Very nice museum; well kept, clean, and informational. Relatively small for the cover charge, but the trip to the top was well worth it. Phenomenal view. A really enjoyable bit of history about Norway and skiing with a good chunk about polar expeditions, and a really cool collection of skis.

Great place to visit and easy to get to on Metro with a station in the town. Check weather first though as there was a lot of hanging fog (especially as it is very high up) when we visited so disappointingly we had no view from the top. Jump is impressive though.

Great views over Oslo and surrounding area from top of ski slope. Museum is very interesting and has some fun activities to try. Cafe and gift shop are both lovely. Didn’t try zipline but looked great fun.

Really liked the trip out to the ski museum on the tram. A short uphill walk after the tram and you see the man made ski jump towering above you. You can take a lift to the top and see just how mad these jumpers are! The views look amazing from the top, unfortunately for us it was a rainy day with no visibility. The museum itself is small but everything was interesting and all exhibits were in English and Norwegian. We used the Oslo pass to get there and access the museum.

Interesting facts about the history of skiing. Fun activities for kids and adults. Amazing view of the city from the viewing platform ⛷️

Very historic site but our purpose to go there was to do the Zipline. The museum is very nice and you learn a lot about the first expeditions to the artic and what it took to get there plus the Olympics as two events took place here sky jump and biathalon. After we looked around we made our to the top for the best view of Oslo there is and the Zipline. It's a short but fun Zipline and is worth the price we paid. All the staff were very nice and we had a fun time. We were on a cruise and the excursion come here but you don't get to go inside and do anything so we did it on our own and would recommend
