Used to museums being dull and boring? Well, not this one! The Universeum is a museum experience like no others, with engaging and interactive exhibitions that would be sure to win over even the most staunch museum skeptics.

You might want to clear your schedule and be prepared to lose yourself for hours exploring the plethora of captivating exhibitions here at Universeum, a public science centre and museum. There’s something for everybody, with exhibition themes covering a myriad of topics ranging from outer space to the depths of the ocean. If you’ve been itching for a tropical holiday, get a taste at Rainforest, a strikingly realistic exhibit where you can be surrounded by the sights and sounds you would expect in the Amazon Rainforest, with waterfalls, swinging apes, croaking frogs, fluttering butterflies and soaring birds, the rich diversity of exotic wildlife in Rainforest will leave you mesmerised. Another enthralling exhibit is the magical world of the deep blue sea. Dive below the surface to discover more than 30,000 species of fish, sharks, rays and technicolour coral. As you glide through the tunnel travelling beneath 1.4 million litres of water in Ocean Tank, you’ll feel transported right to the depths of the ocean floor.


Think playing computer games with banana console or musical staircases seem the stuff of dreams, well then watch your dreams come true in teknoteket, an exhibit where you can play with all this and more. Get active in Health, where you can challenge your friends to test your body’s limits, before heading to either one of the restaurants with vegetarian options, and which both pride themselves on being 100% palm oil free, for a well-deserved break.

Tips Before You Go
Be prepared to set aside at least 2-3 hours to get the most out of your visit, but best would be a whole day as the endlessly enthralling activities will no doubt draw you in. Take note that there temperature fluctuates throughout Universeum, with Waterway being the same as that outdoors, but the Rainforest reaching highs of 26 degrees celsius and a sweat-inducing humidity of 90%, so you might want to dress in layers so that you can adjust. In the Rainforest, an extra note is that the monkeys retire to their nests by late afternoon, so stop by early if you want to catch them.
