- HerbertEdgewoodOrlando, Florida1,894 contributionsFrogner Park‘Ello chaps! About twenty minutes from Oslo’s city center is the world famous Frogner Park. The park is about 110 acres in size, and while it is filled with vast landscaping and floral areas, nothing draws more attention than the baroque style statutes taking up most areas. It’s reported Gustav Vigeland created the statutes between 1924 and 1943. The statutes represent hundreds of naked men, women, and children, many displaying various emotions. Frogner Park is reported to be the largest park, by size, in Oslo. It is also the most popular tourist attraction in Oslo, drawing in 1-2 million people per year. You can spend upwards of an hour here, depending on the season, exploring all the fine details of the park. NOTE: The near by cemetery is also a nice walk and is also a notable site for many Americans because that is where famed disc jockey Casey Kadeem is buried, not because of being of any Norwegian descent, but because of a feud between Kasem’s adult children and Kasem’s second wife. Beyond that I give Frogner Park five stars out of five.Visited September 2019Written January 12, 2020
- ScoAberdeen, United Kingdom4,116 contributionsA Splendid Park For All!Lots of relaxing space in the capital. Long walks, sit downs, cafe, statues, art work, gardens, play areas, are all found at Frognerparken. Ideal for our granddaughter was the red play park called "Frognerborgen Lekeplass". Taller adults are recommended to watch your heads, as they can easily hit the structure if you're not paying attention whilst following/guiding your kids around that area, especially when it's packed with the wee ones.Visited July 2020Written May 5, 2021
- Dazzliedee22 contributionsFrogner Park, Vigeland StatuesThis park was fantastic, the statues are incredible and very interesting, before visiting Oslo I had no knowledge of this park, Gustav Vigelands statues are very interesting and show all the various stages of life, with apparently the Angry Child the most famous of them. We visited on a cold November day but this certainly warmed us , it was a great experience and well worth finding as the park lies a little out from the centre but is easily reached on the train, which are very easy to use . Definitely recommend a visit here if you are going to Oslo and it’s also free! No food or drink places I could see near here so if you go take a snack and water.Visited November 2019Written January 8, 2020

We visited Frogner Park in June and were surprised at how extensive the installation of “ the circle of life” by Gustav Vigeland was. Although the sculptures are all naked, it’s very tasteful. The park is also very beautiful and a lovely setting for the sculptures.

The Vigeland Park is just a part of the larger Frogner Park. There's a nice waterpark and a stadium, as well as all the walking paths. I read on their website that they build ski slopes in the winter, which must be fun. It's a good place for a picnic or a walk.

Lots of space to enjoy nature and have some space away from the crowds 'doing Vigeland'. Enjoy a quiet picnic lunch on the lawns, or have fun in the water.

Stunning park, easily reachable from anywhere in Oslo thanks to the tram stations located just outside its gates.
It is astounding how well this park blends greenery and the arts in order to create a very peaceful atmosphere. The park is also huge, so it provides ample opportunities for walking, biking, having a picnic, or simply soaking in the surroundings. As a plus, the park also includes a small play area for children, which gets really crowded and yet offers the opportunity for parents to take a break while the little ones burn some energy.
One of the top attractions to see in Oslo in my opinion.

The park is lovely. But Vigeland is such a minor artist, it’s hard to understand why the entire park is dedicated to featuring his sculptures.

A very interesting place, amongst so many other in Oslo. A part of this public parc features 212 bronze and granite sculptures, all designed by Gustav Vigeland. The most popular one is the angry baby, but all are timeless and show the human nature as row as it can be.

Composed of so many kilometers of land, this is another name for the Vigeland Park where there are sculptures of humans with various sizes, sexes, and emotional expressions. In addtion to these sculptures, there are other areas for picnicking and just plainly enjoying nature.
During my visit, the flowers have not started blooming yet. This park will be more beautiful once they are all in bloom.

This seems to be the same as Vigeland. We walked through and saw the sculptures. they were nice but I wouldn’t say that they are compelling. They are all very similar so you don’t get a mix of styles. In general I like sculpture parks but I wouldn’t say that this one’s particularly impressive. Nice to see but not compelling

Hi
The public transportation in Oslo is indeed very efficient - check the webpage for ruter.no. You can also upload to your mobile the Ruter app which finds you the routes based on your location once you are in Oslo
