My visit to Frogner Park was a delightful experience filled with natural beauty, intriguing sculptures, and a refreshing open-air ambiance. The park's vast expanse provided ample space to explore and unwind. The park's standout feature was undoubtedly the impressive waterfall, which added a touch of grandeur to the surroundings. The sound of rushing water created a soothing atmosphere, and the sight of the cascading falls was a sight to behold. The park's well-maintained flower beds added a vibrant burst of colors, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. It was a joy to stroll through the park, surrounded by the pleasant fragrance of blooming flowers. The sculptures scattered throughout the park were intriguing and sparked curiosity. While personal taste may vary, I found them to be an interesting addition to the park's artistic character. One sculpture that stood out to me was the crying baby on the bridge—it evoked a unique emotional response and left a lasting impression. It's worth noting that there is a small fee to access the park's restroom facilities, priced at 20 NOK or $1.85. While this may be an inconvenience for some, the fee contributes to the park's maintenance and cleanliness. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Frogner Park. Its combination of natural beauty, captivating sculptures, and the opportunity to enjoy fresh air in an open setting make it a worthwhile destination. Take a leisurely stroll, appreciate the artistic expressions, and immerse yourself in the park's serene atmosphere. In conclusion, I found my experience in Frogner Park to be enjoyable and enriching. The park's stunning waterfall, lovely flowers, and thought-provoking sculptures create a unique and memorable visit. Don't miss the chance to explore this gem and discover its artistic charm for yourself.

Frogner Park, located in Oslo, Norway, is a picturesque and expansive green space that offers a delightful retreat for locals and visitors alike. Also known as Vigeland Park, it is famous for its impressive collection of sculptures created by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. One of the main attractions of Frogner Park is the Vigeland Installation, featuring over 200 sculptures crafted from bronze and granite. These sculptures depict various aspects of the human experience, from joyful family scenes to introspective figures, all showcasing Vigeland's exceptional talent for capturing human emotions and relationships. The most iconic sculpture in the park is the "Monolith," a towering granite structure intricately carved with human figures intertwined in a spiraling composition. It serves as the focal point of the park and is a testament to Vigeland's artistic vision and mastery. Aside from the sculptures, Frogner Park boasts beautifully landscaped gardens, wide lawns, and tree-lined pathways, making it an ideal spot for picnics, leisurely strolls, or simply relaxing amidst nature.

Beautiful public space as a park and a a sculpture garden. We had a beautiful spring day but given a more typical Norwegian day with lots of rain, this wouldn't be nearly as much fun, so watch the weather forcast when you plan your visits. And the park has a gazillion stairsteps to take visitors to different levels for different installations. In most areas there weren't obvious ramps for wheelchair or walker access. The sculptures were really fantastic. I came away with several "favorites", but the two women from his home village were really special. We had a wonderful guide who knew all the backstories and really added to the visit. It would have been better had we found a book with images of the works to read ahead and plan ahead. But this was a wonderful place. UPDATE: All of the statues of people are nudes showing "everything" . The sculptor opted not to show them clothed because clothing would date them. Nude, they are timeless. But Google killed the original post for explicit sexual content. My first rejected post in 880 reviews.

Went here with my friend, as it had been recommended by over 5 other people and after going I can see why. The sculptures are phenomenal, not only are they carefully maintained but the setting is perfect for any photographer with wide and eye catching scenery available and endless possibilities for panoramas and the sorts available. The bridge at the start is where the tourists are most densely located and you can line up a photo capturing the whole series of sculptures which is amazing but make sure you get up early to do so... Next the water fountain was breathtaking, due to the spectacular weather we were experiencing it was refreshing to feel cool water on your face in the breeze. Another thing that caught my eye was the final almost needle like structure, it towers over everything else and was once up there something wierdly wonderful. Finally the view from the top looking down was truly special and well worth the time. In short: make sure to go here and bring your camera!

When looking for outdoor activities to do in Oslo, this want at the top of the search results. This is the biggest park in Oslo. It's really easy to get to from the trolley stops. We enjoyed our time walking around the park. It's a pretty big park and there are a few sculptures scattered throughout. They have a map by the main entrance so you can find your way and find where the statues are. The park is really pretty. It's more of a manicured style of park than a completely natural one. There are benches throughout as well as some ponds which we enjoyed. I definitely think this is a must see while visiting Oslo!
