Oslo Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden at Tøyen is part of the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum, Norway's largest natural history museum, whose premises cover everything inside the garden's fences. It was established on the Tøyen Manor estate, one of Oslo's oldest farms. Its living collection of more than 4,500 plant species from around the world is arranged in thematic gardens, including two greenhouses, the Victoria House and the Palm House. The garden has a botanical purpose for research, education and conservation and is not a regular park.

The garden is at Tøyen, in Grünerløkka on the eastern side of central Oslo; the official address is Sars' gate 1, 0562 Oslo, and there are four entrances, in Sars' gate, Jens Bjelkes gate and two in Monrads gate. All metro lines stop at Tøyen station, a 6-minute walk from the southern entrance in Monrads gate. Tram 17 stops at Lakkegata skole, 2 minutes from the Sars' gate entrance, and bus 20 stops at Tøyenparken, 3 minutes from the southern entrance. There is no dedicated parking, but paid public parking surrounds the grounds.

Dogs are not allowed in the Botanical Garden or the exhibitions; service dogs with valid ID are welcome. Cycling, including on electric scooters, is not permitted in the garden. Most of the garden is wheelchair accessible, but some parts are steep with narrow paths, and the two greenhouses, the Palm House and the Victoria House, are not adapted for wheelchairs. Photography and filming for private use are allowed, but professional photography requires a written agreement with the museum.
