The University Botanical Garden is Norway’s oldest botanical garden. It was first established in 1814 and is administrated by the University of Oslo.

The plant collections contain approx. 5 500 species.

The Scent Garden is arranged as an experience for all, but especially the blind, mentally handicapped and wheelchair-bound. 

The greenhouses The Palm House from 1868 and The Victoria House from 1876 present exotic plants from other parts of the world.

​​​​​​​You will also find large, woven sculptures by the British artist Tom Hare around in the park.
