Norway in a postage stamp
Robert D,May 18, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00
You need to schedule several hours to really do this place justice. I have heard this described as Norway in a postage stamp and I think that is an accurate description. There are buildings at this park from all over Norge and walking from one building to another is a good way to get an overall impression of life of Norway as it has been over the last 800 years. I am so glad that these wooden buildings with sod roofs have been preserved. The Stave church is outstanding. Built in 1200 it is most likely the oldest building in the park. The reconstructed city or village is interesting. Unfortunately, the rain was coming down hard when we were in this part of the park and didn’t give it the justice it deserved. I would heartily recommend this park. Do yourself a favor and have a coffee and pastry at the café at the end of your visit. Wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking. Recommended

We enjoyed the architectural history and rich culture represented in this amazing park. I advise earlier arrival than late afternoon as we did as the park was empty and we did not have nearly enough time to explore adequately.

This eco-museum gives you a good understanding of the Norwegian way of life. The resettled houses are for some open, it is exciting.

Loved learning about the history of the Vikings. The only negative I would give and this was not the fault of the tour guide but some.buildings were closed which was unfortunate as we would have liked to step into them.

I’m disappointed. Honestly, I’m speechless — I was at the agreed time and location, and there was no one there! I asked some people working at the venue for information, and they told me they had no idea that Tripadvisor sold this kind of tour, and had no information. So I called the contact number listed on the website. Someone answered but said they also didn’t have any information about the guide and would get back to me with details. I waited, tried calling again, and they simply didn’t answer. In the end, my friend and I bought single tickets and entered to visit without a guide. I’m disappointed — I paid £100 for this and didn’t even receive any support. I recommend buying the Oslo Pass instead — it gives you access to all the museums, buses, and trams for half the price. Or go with a competing platform — at least I’ve never had a problem there.

It’s wonderful to be taken around this special place with someone like Lisa who was able to bring everything to life. She also told us some very interesting facts about Norway and its history. Highly recommended! We were also fortunate to have such a beautiful day.
