And in case your kids are Viking fans, then visiting the Viking Planet is a must.

To continue your wonderful tour in Oslo, visit TusenFryd Amusement Park, the largest park in Oslo.

It’s both fun and educational for the whole family.

And in case you have a couple of days left in Norway, you can take your kids to the Bergen Aquarium, where you can enjoy the diversity of marine life.

And the best way to get to the city is by taking Oslo to Bergen train. The ride from Oslo to Bergen is an adventure in itself since the sceneries are spectacular, and you can’t help but enjoy the Norwegian views from your window.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Iceland is a beautiful place to explore. Thus, having a trip to Reykjavik with kids would be one of the most memorable, fun, and exciting experiences.

However, this destination is more for adventurous families.

The next activity that we are sure that your kids and you would like to take is visiting Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach. This place features steam rooms, geothermal hot tubs, and a heated pool for children.

In general, Reykjavik boasts many family-friendly museums like the Maritime Museum, the National Museum, and the Whales of Iceland Museum.
