Oslo museums and sights: Do you have to book a time slot?

Hi, heading to Oslo for 3 days at the end of September and wondering if we buy the Oslo pass we can just walk into museums without a reservation? Has anyone here had good or bad experiences with the Oslo pass? thanks!

I did not buy the Oslo Pass. It didn't work out as a savings for me - I would advise doing the math.

July 2023, we had no problem entering any of Oslo's major (and a couple minor) museums and venues without advance reservation. Even at the Munch Museum where our visit happened to coincide with free entry hours (didn't plan that pleasant surprise in advance), there was no problem.

We had the same experience as ORDTraveler. In July 2023 we were able to get in to any of the museums upon arrival. In fact, the only thing we prebooked was a biking tour of Oslo. Enjoy your visit!

Yes, you do not need a timed entry. The Oslo Pass works well. We found it quite useful and probably got half its value just from public transportation. Highly recommend and it was pretty much accepted everywhere.
