English translation:toll booth
Explanation:
I have found a few online references indicating that it could be 'toll booth', or 'toll house', though 'bomhus' seems to be more of a Danish word than Norwegian. However, it's a possibility!
Though Fisher Price seems a long way from civil engineering, there is a very clear multilingual illustration of it on page 2 of the instruction sheet on this website.
