I am not really into ski or any snow sport, but this museum is really interesting. The price is not expensive and it includes going up to the Jump Tower, a very fascinating view which you can see all Oslo. The souvenir shop over there is the most decent I have found in Oslo.

The museum is a trek from the train station but was worth it. The view going and coming back is also good. As someone working with disabled kids, it was interesting to see the exhibit for the physically disabled.

without ski jumpers? Whatever. The view is great, and the museum is OK, if you're interested in skiing.

I'm a winter sports fan and to see this famous venue up close was a thrill. I can only imagine the thrill of jumping in that huge bowl with thousands screaming!

Although this is not the original Holmenkollen, it is still very interesting and, as I say, the skiers must be very brave. The cafe at the site is good and serves delicious cake! There is also a stave church close by the carpark to vist/walk around.

We always take guest from out of town to the Holmenkollen ski jump if time allows. On a clear day it offers you a stunning view of Oslo, while at the same time letting you experience some of the lunacy that is ski jumping at a professional level. Looking down the ski jump and imagining setting off down of your... More

The ski jump tower looks like a thing from outer space. Sorry if I sound ignorant because I really have no idea about ski places. But the ski area / stadium was awesome.

I too rode the simulator on my 3rd visit to the Ski area. I was scared to death. I knew that I would be the first person to crash and die in a simulator. After I survived, I realized what a great experience it really was.
