If you are bringing your family to Tromsø this autumn, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the season together. From outdoor adventures and northern lights experiences to museums, swimming and family-friendly attractions, you will find activities for both sunny and rainy days.
Experience the northern lights, try dog sledding on wheels, enjoy a hot chocolate at one of the city’s cafés or out in nature, or challenge the whole family at the Science Centre. You can also hire bicycles and explore Tromsøya, stopping at the playgrounds in Telegrafbukta and Charlottenlund along the way.
If your family enjoys being out on the water, join one of the local operators on a boat trip or hire kayaks to explore the coast. You can also meet the huskies at Tromsø Villmarkssenter. If you head into the mountains, you may even spot reindeer along the way.
Autumn weather in Northern Norway can be chilly and change quickly, so bring warm layers and woollen clothing if you plan to spend time outdoors.

Cold or rainy weather does not mean you have to stay indoors all day. Visit the seals and other marine animals at Polaria, swim and play at Tromsøbadet, learn more about Northern Norwegian history and culture at Tromsø Museum or the Polar Museum, or explore art at the Northern Norway Art Museum.
With plenty to choose from both indoors and outdoors, it is easy to plan an autumn day in Tromsø that works for the whole family.
