An old sardine cannery where kids get to thread fish, fill tins and stick on labels themselves, and it's free for under-18s.
Norwegian Petroleum Museum
All about North Sea oil, with a drill floor and an escape chute kids can slide down again and again, and the free Geopark playground of rig parts outside.
