    Amaaaaaaaazzzzing place! It’s really fun place for all ages. At first my friends said it’s won’t be fun for my 2 year nephew, but he had the most fun there. I really enjoyed the since show it’s was 20 minutes long and lots of fun and information.

    Well done exhibitions for all ages! Interesting experiments. All labeled and described in Norwegian as well as English. The only "but" is that the shows in the science theater are only in Norwegian. You can still watch but you loose all the explanation part.

    Very fun for my 8 year old son. He loves it and can play here for a whole day. Strange ticket policy though. It is required to have an adult to follow an 8 year old kid and the adult has to pay ticket. It is ridiculous because an 8 year old kid has no time to even look at their parent while playing. One star less for the strange policy which is only good for collecting money.

    Spent couple of hour with kids during our tight schedule, but was very good. Is very interactive and offers learning tools with working models teaching practically all basic principals of physics. Little far from the city centre (three kilometers) but worth a visit for kids in case you have time.

    Very fun place for kids. Initially we planned to visit two museums in Bergen but in the end we spent whole day here as kids just refused to leave.

  • 5/5 Oana P. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Where to start… amazing variety of activities for all ages. We arrived quite late, so we only had 2h before closing time. We would have spent the entire day there

    A great science center! I do not understand why it is not on the tourist maps, but it is really interesting to visit. There's a lot to see and it doesn't feel boring. Science is fun! Free of charge!

  • 5/5 Dom S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent science interactive exhibition for little one and grown-up. You can easily spend the day there.

  • 5/5 Tanya C. 8 months ago on Google
    Immense fun, activities for all family members. Kids and adults enjoyed VR, bubble making, seasonal changes, submarine driving.

  • 5/5 Jackie O. 1 year ago on Google
    I wasn't sure whether this place would be any good for a 2 (nearly 3) year old, but I took my friend's little boy for a visit and he loved it! Admittedly he spent a lot of the time playing with Lego! His attention span for other things is quite short, but there was so much to see and do that it didn't matter. Loads of hands on activities, fun for little kids and informative for older kids. Would definitely recommend!

    Best science museum I have ever been Very interested for all age

  • 5/5 Muthukumar T. 7 months ago on Google
    One among the best science museums I have visited so far. It can be visited by all the age groups of people. They have explained in very simple language with examples. You can spend your whole day here if you are with your kids. Especially best option when it’s raining in Bergen. Lots of things to do you won’t get board.

  • 3/5 Wee Kiat B. 7 months ago on Google
    Went on a rainy Tuesday morning. Crowd is acceptable. Place is clean. Ticket kinda pricey. Takes about 1 hour or so to complete the whole place. About 40% of the exhibits are faulty. Primary school science standard. Easy to understand. Good for children. Real beehive is probably the most interesting exhibit.

  • 5/5 Satjit S. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place for the family to visit of all ages. We arrived early and beat the rush! We also managed to get some sandwiches from the cafe and the salad bar is a winner!

  • 4/5 Jaikish 5 months ago on Google
    It’s good for kids to learn science. Best visited with Bergen card since the entry is free. A nice restaurant is just outside.

    If you have ever visited Kopernik science center in Warsaw, you might find this one a bit boring. Nevertheless, it was a nice place to visit.

  • 5/5 Hilde G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place, but bring own food as restaurants nearby does not cater food for kids or anything under 100 kr per dish.

  • 5/5 Yunilson 1 year ago on Google
    Free entrance with Bergen Tourist Card. A lot of activities in the museum for children and adults. Came here while there was a Lego exhibition here and you can try to build whatever you want with those Legos. Having a really great time

  • 5/5 Emil Bang L. 1 year ago on Google
    Super fun for both me and my five year old nephew. If you live in Bergen, get a season ticket for the kids.

  • 5/5 Mikhail A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for kids of any age: from 1 to 99. Had my fun with pumps and electrical currents.

  • 5/5 Jessica S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to take the kids for the day! Lots of exhibits and all interactive. Can easily spend several hours there. Also has a cafe for drinks & food, if needed.

    As a Tourist from Canada I enjoy Science and Did Enjoy it from the Young to the Old. At First getting of at Flordia Station took a wrong Turn toward the water and and there is a park on the Other Side of the Station But knew the picture of the Building but found it. I liked the Parts about the Human body to lots of other fun Science games there. I didn't get a Chance to see a Science show but they looked like fun. The fun rope chair you pull yourself up and come back down was fun too the Cool Ball Machine. I recommend this Museum for ant Tourist that Comes to Bergen. I felt very welcome to this Museum.

    Very nice place. My kids really enjoyed their time in the place. Unfortunately it’s not following the rules of COVID 19. so it’s not safe to use it now. A lot of adults and kids touching and using the same game over and over without cleaning. So please be careful and stay safe.

    It has a nice shop there but they just got fake LEGO 💀

  • 5/5 Mian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent and must visit place for the kids. Everyone can enjoy and learn here.

  • 5/5 Geri C. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and funny museum. Everything is interactive so you can play with all the attractions. There are a lot of different scientific information that are easy to understand. Kids can have a lot of fun and adults too. It was really interested for me and I strongly recommend it. The museum is free with the Bergen card.

    Fun place for the family. Lost of difrent things to do and wach. Good service atmosphere. Expensive food in store. Not the best but it's alowed bringing ur on food. Fun place to learn for the family.. Somthing for everyone.

  • 5/5 Glenn L. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent hands-on Museaum suitable for adults and children. Most of the signs are in Norwegian but it's not hard to figure out the concepts being presented. Most of the staff seem to know several languages including English.
