Fun things to do in Bodo: 14 fun attractions and activities (2024)

Excellent museum with very well placed exhibits along with relevant information. Staff very helpful throughout the trip. The interactive area for kids..(and adults)..was fun too! The control tower gives great views across Bodo airfield and surrounding areas.We did the simulator and museum combined which was great fun.Well worth a trip.

Very well organized museum. Interesting exhibitions and good coffee 👍

The museum offers a big collection of aviation history, I was really surprised to find such a gem here!Sadly they did some work on the public aviation part so we couldn't see much of that, but we wouldn't have had time anyway since the military part had us occupied until they closed.We were there for about three hours and we couldn't see everything we wanted so I'd suggest getting there early enough.One big plus which I didn't see in many other museums is that you can touch many of the pieces at display, which in my opinion adds a lot to the experience.

Great museum! Tons of reading material, tons of unique exhibits! The reception has information in many languages of the world. Convenient location two kilometers from the airport. I recommend to visit everyone, it will be interesting for all ages!

A magnificent and very extensive museum! Definitely worth the (reasonably priced) admission fee. Large exhibitions on military and civilian aviation, along with plenty of information about the history of "human flight". You can even visit the air traffic control tower. There is also an interactive section with various tests and games for children and those young at heart.

From an American point of view I thought this was an excellent museum. Clean, open, many of the exhibits were in several languages. It will take about 2 hours to see it thoroughly. From an aviation enthusiast point of view it was great to see that all aviation was celebrated and not just the Norwegian history, though that was obviously emphasized. Great history, cool museum. The control tower was fun too.

If you have any interest in aviation this is a definite do not miss. Suggest to do the civil section first as this traces the history of flight from its earliest beginnings up to the present day. There is a focus on Norway and Scandinavia which makes it especially interesting. The exhibits are very interesting and one is left wanting more! The military section has a wide range of exhibits, some of which are rarely seen today. Highly recommended. There is parking outside which is free up to 3 hours.

We chose to visit a museum as a backup plan because the weather was bad. We do not regret! A large museum with a lot of civilian and military aircraft and equipment from the oldest to modern, such as the F16 Falcon. Everything is displayed in two large halls. Definitely recommend a visit!

A wonderful place to visit, look forward to returning some day.

I was on an excursion from a cruise and were very excited to visit the museum. However, as we approached the entrance, we were met with two flights of stairs. I looked for a ramp but didn’t see one. There were no signs. We saw the top of the ramp after we’d struggled up the stairs.Once in the museum we really enjoyed the exhibits, but there so many choices of pathways, we soon got turned around. Searching for the gift shop or the exit, we kept opening doors to more stairs. After some time we stumbled upon an elevator! When we pressed H, marked Exit, we were faced with more museum displays! We had no idea where to go. We finally came out at the entrance to the gift shop.Some signage in English would be an immense help!

Very impressive museum with a great collection of aircraft, all thoughtfully presented. Nice cafe too! Lots to interest enthusiasts with historic and modern, civil, and military exhibits. There is plenty of interactive displays to keep kids happy, including a giant table of Lego. Highly recommended!

Absolutely brilliant museum detailing the history of aviation in Norway right from the very beginning right up to the current day.The only spoiler was having to pay for the privilege of parking there in additiontothe entry fee for the museum. I have no choice but to drive there as my wife is disabled.

Very nice museum for those interested in aviation. Most exhibits don't have any fence so you can actually walk all the way up to the planes!

I would recommend you leave at least half a day to fully explore this fantastic attraction in Bodø. It is full of interesting items - staff are super help full and friendly - and so knowledgeable- there is a real sense of pride in the work they do and the information they pass on.

It's got to be 5*this place is an amazing experience and on a day like today very good to hide from the weather conditions. Take a number 1/2/3 Bus from Bodo,pay by card no problem. Then enjoy a coffee & cake later.Great day

Fantastic museum , very good history of aviation from the first flight , the two world wars and contribution of aviation to the growth of Norway 🇳🇴. The different aircraft displayed and the equipment both civilian and military was fantastic

I recently visited the aviation museum in Bodø and was blown away by the sheer number of planes and displays on offer. The military section of the museum was particularly interesting, with several rooms filled with real planes that have played a significant role in the history of Norwegian aviation. There were also plenty of displays showcasing plane engines and other aircraft components, along with informative explanations about how they work.The civil aviation section of the museum was equally impressive, with a wide variety of planes on display ranging from small private planes to larger commercial airliners. There were also several interactive exhibits that provided a deeper understanding of the science behind flight.While the museum was a bit pricey, I found it to be well worth the cost. The 2-3 hour tour gave me plenty of time to explore all the exhibits and learn more about the rich history of aviation in Norway. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the aviation museum in Bodø for anyone with an interest in planes and aviation.

Excellent museum! I was so surprised to find this amazing museum during a short stay here. As an aviation professional I always seek out aviation museums but I had no idea this one was here and it was SO well done. Great history of aviation in Norway both civil and military. Loved it and extremely well curated. Worth the trip!

A place where you can spend more than one hour of time with pleasure. The number of exhibits is very impressive! A must visit.
