2. Free transport museum
Ever felt the urge to blow up a bridge?
You can actually try that at the Norwegian Road Museum, just outside Lillehammer, at one of Norway'slargest technical industrial museum facilities.
The museum consists of a large museum park and three museums, The Norwegian Road Museum, the Norwegian Rock Blasting Museum and the Norwegian Vehicle History Museum, filled with marvellous old cars.
It's a very family-friendly museum, and entrance is free, so it's a great place to stop along the E6 motorway between Oslo and Trondheim. Admission is free!

You don't have to actually take off to experience what it's like above the clouds!

This very popular museum provides educational and interactive experiences for both young and old. Learn how aviation united Norway as a nation, and experience icons such as the U-2 spy plane, Starfighter, and Spitfire up close.
It's a great destination for the whole family.
