A birthday filled with fun activities

Invite your friends or classmates to a birthday party at the Fisheries and Maritime Museum and enjoy a festive day filled with lots of fun activities.

When you celebrate your birthday at the museum, you and your guests can get up close to the seals and watch as our animal keepers train them. You’ll also get a front-row seat when our museum educator feeds the eider ducks and tells you all about them.

During the birthday party, it’s also time to burn off some energy! You can choose between two fun activities that the facilitator will lead: “Run Like a Seal ” or “Giant Memory Match.”

And as the birthday boy or girl, you'll of course get to take a gift home with you.

Hunt like a seal

Try hunting like a real seal as you take on the seal relay race while wearing special seal goggles that make you feel like you're swimming upside down—just like seals do when they hunt.

This activity is perfect for children ages 9 and up.

Giant Memory Match Game

Try our giant memory game featuring animals and objects from the museum, and see who can find the most matching tiles the fastest.

This activity is perfect for children under 9 years old.

Can we bring food?

Yes. You're welcome to bring food and eat it in your room. Please remember to bring your own dishes and other utensils.

Can we order food from Café MS Smag?

Yes. You can pre-order food from the café’s menu no later than seven days before the birthday. You’ll also need to decide whether the food will be served in the birthday party room or in the café.

Are other parents allowed to accompany their children inside?

Adults accompanying children into the museum must have a ticket. We therefore recommend that you drop off your children at the museum entrance and pick them up there after the birthday party.

Could there be more people celebrating their birthdays?

Yes. There can certainly be more birthday children, and each birthday child receives a gift. Each additional birthday child costs 100 kr.
