Facts on Experimentarium
The Experimentarium is Denmark’s only Science Center, with a surface of 4000 m2 and a 850 m2 temporary exhibition area. It features 300 hands-on exhibits for visitors to try, on nature and technology, the environment and health. The interactive exhibits are divided over 13 areas where visitors can create their own experiments in areas such as: The Body in Action, Listen to the Sound, Look at Light and Children’s Waterworks.
