Tønsberg Sjømannsforening, Tollboden (Maritime History Center)

Tønsberg Sjømannsforening (Seamen's Association) and Tønsberg Maritime History Center (TSS) are based in Tollboden at Tollbodbryggen. Tønsberg Maritime History Center shows the town's proud maritime and whaling history and is open from May to August. Tours for groups by appointment.

Come and see the film, whaling life at the Pelagos!

Tønsberg Maritime History Center
On Tollboden's 1st floor, we find a maritime exhibition divided into a maritime and a whaling section divided into the shipping town, the maritime town, the harbour town and the whaling town. Here, seafaring and whaling are richly illustrated through beautiful models, pictures, text boards and effects. It is equipped with several monitors that show life at sea and whaling. One of the monitors also shows text and images about the city's shipping companies and their vessels.

An adventure center well worth visiting.

The former Tønsberg Seamen's Museum had its first premises in the seamen's school at Haugar, where the Haugar Vestfold Culture Museum is today. Eventually, the seaman's school needed the premises itself, and the collection was handed over to the Vestfold County Museum. Tønsberg Seamen's Association bought the old Tollboden on 1 July 2005, and over the next two years the Tønsberg Maritime History Center (TSS) with its own museum was realised. Extensive work, a lot of voluntary work, resulted in 4 great meeting and party rooms, kitchen, boardroom, office and lift. The ceremonial opening of the Tønsberg Historical Center on the 1st floor was conducted by shipowner Morten Wilh. Wilhelmsen 22 May 2007.

Amigos Playland

Amigos Playland is an indoor activity center of approx. 1,500 sqm for families with children and others with responsibility for children. Amigos Playland is located on Ås outside Tønsberg, right by the E18.

At Amigos Playland, the children get to strengthen their motor skills and test their skills. Children can climb, slide, crawl, balance, explore and discover. Here the challenges are in line and the children experience a positive feeling of mastery. But most importantly for the kids; Playland is FUN!

The Amigos Playland play area is adapted for children aged 0 to approx. 99 years. The entrance ticket purchased is valid all day.

From 0-3 years old
There is a separate department adapted for children aged 0-3 years. In the play area for the little ones there are large soft blocks to climb, swing or slide on, two walls with puzzles, ball pool, building blocks, slides, tricycles and more.

Here the children can frolic in challenging activities: long double slide with waves, spiral slide, spider tower, several obstacle courses, electric cars, trampolines, sports arena, balance board, softball cannon arena, donuts slide and more.

Children only have access with adults (minimum 16 years), and it is the adults' responsibility to ensure that the children follow the rules for the facilities. All play equipment is secured and approved according to Norwegian laws and regulations.

Laser tag
Amigo's Playland also offers Laser Tag. Laser tag is a fun game for 2 to 12 players. The participants are divided into 2 teams and you are given a pistol with a blue or green color. The game itself takes place in a separate room with exciting music and lights, where you play rounds of 12 minutes, where the purpose is to get the most points for yourself by hitting the opponents with laser beams. Since you shoot laser light, Laser tag is completely painless and only play and fun, and is best suited from about 7 years old. Children from the age of 5 can participate with adults.

This is an activity for slightly older children from 6 years. You have to jump or duck when your arms pass.

Birthday party at Amigos Playland
Amigos Playland has 3 different birthday rooms with different themes. Choose between pirate, sea princess and disco room. In the birthday rooms, food and drinks are served to order, and a birthday host can assist during the celebration. After a nice time together in the birthday room,
there is free play for as long as you want in the playground. The birthday child also receives his or her very own birthday gift. You bring your own cake or order from Amigos Playland.
