Top of the things to do in Sandefjord, as to be fair there isn't a lot else going on. Lots of stuffed animals, and an interesting history of the whaling industry- from it's inception to its eventual decline. Not too gory in the details, but in parts quite chilling. Child friendly in the animal part- not so for the whaling history
