The visit at the museum takes in average 1,5-2 hours, including the film about the Jostedalsbreen (20 minutes) and the Ulltveit-Moe Climate Centre. The film starts every half hour. From the museum it takes about 10 minutes to drive to the two glacier arms Bøyabreen and Supphellebreen. The best time of the year for excursions in Fjærland is from the end of June (because of snow conditions) to September.

The Glacier museum has a small café. Student groups and school classes may bring their own food as well. At the Bøyabreen, the restaurant Brævasshytta serves a great variety of warm and cold dishes.

The Glacier museum has a seperate building for teaching that can be used by schools and universities.

Staying in Fjærland for several days?
In Fjærland, one has the unique opportunity to combine education with recreation. There are several marked hiking paths with different grades of difficulty. One can e. g. take a shorter hike to one of the mountain summer farms (norw.: støl) or take a full day hike to the cabin Flatbrehytta at 1000 m a.s.l., which is situated close to the Jostedalsbreen. 

Just 100 m from the Glacier museum you find Bøyum Camping, where one as well may rent cabins or rooms. About 2,5 km from the Glacier museum is the village centre of Fjærland, Mundal.
