Things to do in Rogaland, Western Norway: The Best Children's Museums
The southernmost of the Western Fjord counties, Rogaland is also home to many beautiful beaches and islands. Of the area’s fjords, Lysefjord is the most famous, its 25 magnificent miles marked by narrow passages along steep vertical drops. Preikestolen, Rogaland’s most visited attraction, is a breathtaking cliff nearly 2,000 feet above the water. Kjeragbolten, a huge boulder wedged in a mountain crevasse, is another Lysefjord highlight. Cruises begin at Stavenger, the area’s biggest town.

A canning museum would not normally be our family's first choice for fun things to do on a vacation; however, this place had excellent reviews and almost everyone said the same thing: surprisingly enjoyable. And it was!!! My husband and I enjoyed learning the history of the canning factory, but our kids LOVED this place! They loved seeing all the machines and learning how they worked, they loved the arts and crafts station upstairs, but they especially loved practicing canning with the rubber fish! And they decided to spend their own money to buy rubber fish and cans to bring home as souvenirs. We visited almost a year ago, and the canning museum is still remembered as a highlight of our trip (and the souvenirs are still played with regularly, too!) Thank you! :)
3. Eventyrskogen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
This is a classic Sunday outing along a track with beautiful scenery all the way. You walk the gravel road to Landåsvatnet and turn left towards Skjepåsen just before the lake. At the next crossing there is a small-scale map and a signboard towards Eventyrskogen- a unique visual presentation of Norwegian fairytales along the forest road. This is a very popular goal, especially for all children. At the next crossing, turn right back to Landåsvatnet to complete the roundtrip.
4. The Norwegian Children`s Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 49 reviews
The Norwegian Children's Museum is one of a handful of its kind in Europe. Our exhibitions and activities are about almost anything connected with children and childhood. A children's museum combines the traditional museum's focus on documentation and the exhibition of objects from the past with the young person's wish to participate, investigate and play. A children's museum also evokes nostalgia and the recollection of one's own childhood. You will walk through the maze of growing up in a museum world of exhibitions, activities and theatre. Exhibitions and activities. Toys, a tree hut, labyrinths, board games and play. Open daily in school holidays.

The museum farm Kolbeinstveit comes alive in summer with in-house host, farm anmials, events, concerts and exhibitions. The farmhouse and the barn, date to about 1850. The Guggedal storehouse from 1281, Rogaland County's oldest wooden buiding, also stands here. Hosts serve traditional local food like butter porridge and Suldal "wraps". The farmyard is a fine playground where children can play.

Nesasjøhuset houses the headquarter of Ryfylkemuseet. The old seawarf is located directly near the fjord at Nordenden, in the autenthic and idyllic town of Sand. Sand is located along the National Tourist road Ryfylke (no.13). Our exhibition 'Kvitebjørnen' (The Polarbear) is an interactive exhibition for kids which encourages them to play and use their imagination. The exhibition is based on a story by a local writer, Rasmus Løland (1861-1907). Løland is one of the most important authors within the nynorsk children's literature tradition. In both the story and the exhibition the kids meet a fairytale world where they can dress up and become a king, a princess or a police, fight the trolls and climb into the castles. The book is also available for reading. Ryfylkemuseet is a decentralised regional museum with branches in Forsand, Strand, Hjelmeland, Suldal, Sauda, Finnøy, Rennesøy and Kvitsøy. A lot of these sites are located along the National Tourist Road Ryfylke (Rv 13).
