What Oslo costs with children
Norway is expensive, and that holds for food and for the things you buy. But that is not the same as a day with children costing a lot, because a great deal of what children actually want to do here is free.
How much is free
Of the 175 children's activities we list, 35 are free. On top of that come the 1,239 public playgrounds, all of which are. The numbers are counted from our data when the page is built, not typed in, so they cannot be left behind when the content changes.
What actually costs
- Eating out. Having every meal in a cafe is what makes a week in Oslo expensive. A kitchen where you are staying, with breakfast and packed lunches from it, changes the sum more than anything else.
- The big museums and attractions charge admission, but many have a family ticket, and children under a certain age are often free. Check the individual place.
- Transport costs little for a family: children under 6 always travel free, and at weekends one adult can bring four children under 18 free.
Why we give no prices
Admission prices, fares and menus change, and a page with figures on it is out of date before anyone gets to read it. So there are no prices here. What is here is what costs and what does not, and that is stable.
Everything free is gathered in free activities in Oslo with children, and the ticket rules in public transport with children.
