The Real Kon Tiki Rafts!
The Kon Tiki exhibits and rafts were so well displayed. Loved this small museum! The Hop On/Hop off Bus goes to the Kon Tiki Museum, and there are other museums in the same area.

Enjoyable trip down memory lane
The Kon-Tiki expedition was much talked about in our youth. It was interesting to see the original balsa wood craft, and to read so much background information about the expedition. The presentations around the museum were really well put together and in a very accessible format. Also interesting to see the Ra II craft there, with information on that expedition.

Fascinating Museum
This was a fantastic museum that gave a very good insight into the voyages of Thor Heyerdahl and his team. We took the bus from Central Oslo which took about 15 minutes and was very easy to use. We found out later there is also a water taxi that goes from the harbour and takes about the same time. Would recommend using the Ruter App to get around.

Really Interesting museum
Great museum. Brilliant effects. The boat is set in the middle of the room. The screen around the room changes from lovely calm weather to very stormy. Really well presented. We really enjoyed our visit. This museum is covered by the Oslo Pass.

Still awesome after the changes!
I first visited the Kon-Tiki in September 2025 and reviewed it here. The reason I'm reviewing again is after visiting again with my partner this summer, I felt it was only fair to point out some of the changes to the museum since then. When I came last, I loved the experience and this is a little gem well worth visiting, however some parts were showing their age a little. Well, they clearly knew that as when we visited this year, a number of the rooms had been modernised and given a more up to date feel. This was mostly evident around the Kon-Tiki itself where a lot more interactive items had been installed, including some stuff for kids to play with and explaining how the raft was steered etc. Now I'm old and don't mind just reading stuff/descriptions on exhibits, but even I can admit this is far more engaging and a good way to get younger minds into the subject matter. Overall, I think they did a good job with the improvements and the missus thoroughly enjoyed her first contact with the slightly unhinged adventuring madness of Thor Heyerdahl. As per previous visits, this was included on the Oslopass, so be sure to get that and check in! Also as per previous, the Fram gets all the attention and this is far quieter, which is a shame, but at least also means you can take your time looking at everything. Still a 'highly recommended' from me!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.
How much does Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oslo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oslo is not rushed.
Is Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 1,126 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oslo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket?
+
Around 394 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oslo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oslo and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oslo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oslo?
+
On Outty we rank every Oslo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oslo Highlights Bike Tour, Oslo Nature Walks: Island hopping, Central Oslo Guided Walking Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oslo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oslo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket?
+
Included: Local taxes. Not included: Transportation to/from attractions; Food and drinks; Souveniers; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket?
+
The experience starts at The Kon-Tiki Museum, Bygdoeynesveien 36, Oslo, 0286, Norway. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Oslo. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
