I'm not sure what you mean by the "arts and crafts museum." If you're talking about the "Museum of Decorative Arts & Design" (Kunstindustrimuseet), it closed in 2016 and the exhibits will move to the new National Museum when it opens in 2020.

 

Have you been to Oslo before? I'm not sure that the Vigelands Museum is as interesting if you haven't visited the sculpture park. However, since the park is open 24 hours, you could visit the sculpture park in the morning before the museums open.

 

Neither the Vigelands Museum nor the Viking Ship museum are particularly large, so you shouldn't have a problem visiting both and still having time to do some shopping.

Thank you for your help we will plan on the sculpture park. The museum I was thinking about is the Norsk Folkemusuem. Sounds as if we will find much to see. Appreciate all your help.

Thanks for all the help with finding yarn shop suggestions. For those of you familiar with Oslo and since we will only be in port 9 hours 7 am to 4 pm on May 31st. Would it be feasible for us to see the Vigeland museum, the arts and crafts museum and the Viking ship museum - plus a quick lunch and some yarn shopping all in one day. Would prefer to do it on our own. Thanks!

The most central are probably Strikkedilla in the Oslo City shopping center or Fru Kvist at Øvre Slottsgate 6 (I think Strikkedilla probably has a larger yarn stock since Fru Kvist sells finished pieces, but I’m not sure.)

 

 

If you’re headed out to Vigelands Park, Tjorven at Valkyriegata 17, across from the Majorstuen metro station, is another good choice.

Thank you for your help Kaisatsu. Looking forward to our visit to Oslo.

Yarn Shop suggestions? Will be spending the day in Oslo and would love to find a yarn shop with some Norwegian wool. Do you have any store suggestions? Many thanks!

Thanks for your quick response. I signed up for ravelry but need to spend some more time familiarizing myself with it. Your suggestions were great. It gives me a good excuse to head to my local yarn shop and look at different types of yarn. All I've knitted on is wool. Think I need to venture out. Thanks!

Your family might enjoy the turtle farm. It is definitely a dry activity. They also have a small water park that perhaps would appeal to your son. I'd suggest contacting Captin Marvin's. We have taken excursions with them before and they were so accommodating and helpful.

It has been almost two years but we took a tour from Ocho Rios through Courtney Taylor tours. It is a long and hilly ride, but we had the nice van driver and no one else had booked the tour so we were by ourselves. Developed a real appreciation for the his humble beginnings. There are a lot of people smoking pot and our tour guide at the compound was definitely high, but very charming. If you love Bob Marley and want to pay your respects to him, this is a good tour. Also was very pleased with Courtney Taylor tours. Think if you are in Falmouth you could also arrange a tour with them. Good luck.

Thank you for the heads up on the sale. Was able to book just now and save over $600 for a Caribbean Cruise next year. Cruise Critic members are the best!
