# Oslo Airport (OSL) with Kids: Play Planes, Nursing Rooms, Strollers

**Short answer:** Oslo Airport has play planes at Gates A12 and C1 and at the train station, climbing frames at Gate F14, and nursing rooms between Gates D3 and D5 and between F17 and F19. Free strollers wait just after security. Avinor lists no family restroom, sensory room or confirmed family security lane at Oslo.

**Velivolo family score:** 6.5/10 (Decent)

Oslo is a solid airport for families. Play planes sit at Gates A12 and C1 on the domestic side and at the train station, climbing frames are at Gate F14, and kids can colour a plane on screens that then 'fly' on a big display between D3 and D5. Two nursing rooms are between Gates D3 and D5 and one is between F17 and F19, with many baby care rooms besides. Free strollers are available just after security, though they're basic and can run out. Staff at terminal eateries will heat baby food and bottles.

## Security with children

- **Family lane:** Avinor's current Oslo pages don't describe a family lane. Fast Track is directly to the left of the Point kiosk in the departure hall, open 05:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and 06:00 to 20:00 at weekends, if your airline and ticket qualify.
- **Strollers and car seats:** Strollers and car seats are special baggage at check-in; some travel strollers can be carried on depending on the airline. Free strollers are available just after security.
- **Formula, milk and baby food:** Baby food and formula can exceed 100 ml and don't need to go in a clear bag. Take them out of your carry-on for screening; they may be sampled. Empty bottles are allowed and can be refilled at water stations.
- **Shoes:** Avinor publishes no special shoe rule for children. Parents and children go through the X-ray separately and stuffed toys are scanned.
- **PreCheck:** Not applicable outside the US. Oslo has Fast Track for qualifying tickets.

## Getting between terminals

Oslo has one long terminal. Domestic gates A, B and C and international Schengen gates D are past security, and non-Schengen E and F gates are past passport control. A touch-screen kiosk by the large meeting-point pillar in the departure hall shows maps to restrooms and baby care rooms.
