Within Frognerparken is Vigeland Park, Norway's most popular tourist attraction famous for 200 sculptures by Norwegian sculptor, Gustav Vigeland. During the summer, the park's outdoor cafés and restaurants are always packed. Other areas are full of joggers, skaters and walkers. There is a playground and children are allowed to climb on the sculptures. Frognerbadet outdoor pool is located next to the park. The park is open around the clock all year round; admission is free.

Frognerbadet

Open-air swimming pools Middelthunsgate 28
Oslo 0368
Norway
+47 22 44 7429 Situated in the northeast corner of Frognerparken, these popular public baths offer the possibility of a refreshing swim in the summer. Families go together for a swim in one of the open-air pools, to try the water slide or just to sunbathe. It can become very crowded on sunny days. Facilities include changing rooms, showers and a café. The season goes from 18 May to 20 August. Frognerbadet is currently being restored, and this might cause a delay in this season's opening.

Sørkedalen

Treasure-trove for sporty families Sørkedalen
Oslo 0759
Norway
Just outside the city lies Nordmarka, a vast area consisting of hills, lakes and open woodland. Considered one of Oslo's best assets, this is a favourite place for hiking in spring, summer and autumn, and cross-country skiing in winter. In other words, it is a treasure-trove for sporty families. Situated west of Oslo, Sørkedalen is a part of Nordmarka with several farms. This is also where you will find one of the best campsites in Oslo, Bogstad Camping, with cabins, minigolf and a beach by the lake. Bring a tent and make it an overnight trip. To get there take bus 41 from Nationaltheatret. It is approximately a 35-minute ride from the town centre.
