This is journal entry 5, our fourth day in Norway in which we enjoyed some cool things to do in Stavanger with kids.
My six-year-old son and I have embarked upon a 14-day Eurail trip from Oslo, Norway to Bodo in the Arctic Circle. We started in Oslo for 2 days then to Stavanger where we are currently. After this we are bound for Haugesund, Bergen, Flam, Trondheim, Saltfjellet, and Bodo on guided adventure tours to explore Viking heritage, the places that inspired Disney’s Frozen, culture, landscapes and fun things for kids.

It’s housed in an authentic cannery which was in operation from 1916 until 1958. While it’s not a very fairy tale-like attraction, it’s a pretty neat on the things to do in Stavanger with kids list. Surprisingly enough, The Little really enjoyed
