Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket

Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket - Location by the Fram Museum, transit-friendly and easy to pair

1.Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,096 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $19Our pick

Ticket to Oslo’s Kon-Tiki Museum. See Heyerdahl’s original raft, plus artifacts and the Oscar-winning film, about 1 hour.

“The film, which is actual footage of the journey and taken by the crew, was fantastic. And very cool to actually hear the history behind the Kon-Tiki and the crew’s backgrounds. So much I didn’t already know. The film starts at noon, so try not to miss it. Seeing the Kon-Tiki was a bonus! I would highly recommend it, though it was a labor of love (to myself) to get there! The trains were cancelled due to weather, so from the airport, it was a multi-hop journey. Worth it!”
