True Life Adventure! - After reading Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki years ago, I was enthralled by this true-life adventure. Seeing the Kon-Tiki at the museum and viewing all of the well-organized exhibits was a great experience. It was also interesting to see the Ra expedition information and related displays. The museum was not busy, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. The museum can be enjoyed by all age groups.

Kon Tiki - This is a smaller Museum, but so worth the trip! The story of the Kon Tiki is incredible! It is right near the pick up or drop off from the ferry from City Hall area.

Great museum! - Fascinating museum! My family and I really enjoyed learning about the Kon-Tiki, especially after we toured the neighboring Fram museum. We would highly recommend doing the museums together - they offer an interesting perspective on the history of Norwegian sea travel and exploration.

Not a Big Museum - Part of three museums on site with all related to ships. The Kon-Tiki Museum is about an exhibition of Easter Island while the Fram Museum is about the North Pole. It's very interesting from start to finish with the self funding model and the Kon-Tiki boat as well.

A tribute to Thor Heyerdahl - I definitely recommend getting the Oslo pass which includes entrance to key attractions. As such, we were able to pop over from the impressive Fram museum to the Kon-tiki museum. If you are familiar with the Kon-Tiki and of a certain age, this will be a great place to visit. My companion was very excited to visit and was not disappointed; having read about Thor Heyerdahl as a child he was quite pleased that we were able to view the ships. One tip for your visit --we saw only two open air stands selling food and limited outdoor seating in the area among the museums so we wish we had planned a bit more.

- We visited this museum in conjunction with the other two that are nearby. It's a small but interesting museum with a nice replica of the Kon Tiki. There are some good artifacts on display also.
