Gotta give a shout out for the cafe way back there (in a barn-like building). The two gents were quite nice to us and the food.... OMG did not expect this in a park-like environment! Full review by Bill H

It's a great historical site—there are many buildings and a lot of exciting information. Everyone can visit the site for free, and exhibition entry is free with the Oslo Pass. Full review by AnatoliZ

We actually were there in April and the tourist office told us it would be open but it was not. When we arrived the sign on the door posted hours and days but nevertheless it was closed all day. This was the only time we encountered this in all of Norway. Other museums were very organized. So the moral of the story is: when you get there, just go and hopefully you will be able to get in. If it is the same week as Easter, it will be closed the entire week.

Cannot precisely answer to "inside" the castle. Possibly some parts as there is a "guided" tour available (fee). You can definitely wander around most/all the grounds. We entered on the harbor side ... where we entered is the Resistance Museum (about the German occupation) which is open to the public. There was also a guard posted at one of the gates o the main building ... reminded me of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Sorry I wasn't of more help.
