Overview

Hype:

Experimentarium is Denmark’s premier interactive science museum, focused on learning through play and experimentation rather than traditional displays. Visitors are encouraged to touch, test, and explore exhibits that explain scientific concepts in an intuitive and entertaining way, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

The museum spans multiple floors with themed areas covering subjects such as physics, biology, technology, the human body, energy, and natural phenomena. Exhibits are typically bilingual in Danish and English, and many are designed to be enjoyed collaboratively, making the experience social as well as educational.

Experimentarium is particularly well suited for families with children, school groups, and curious adults, and a full visit often takes several hours. Its proximity to Copenhagen and easy access by public transportation make it a convenient indoor attraction, especially during colder or rainy weather.

Story

Saturday, July 12 – Somehow when we did our grocery shopping, we forgot bread, so we picked up a loaf the caught a bus to the Experimentarium, which is a fun children’s museum northeast of Copenhagen. We spent all day there, from shortly after opening at 10:00 until they closed at 5:00. We liked the shipping port, the exercise stations, and pretty much everything. 

But our favorite part was the balance game where you have to step between different logs, rocks, and pipes bolted to the wall to push a whole bunch of buttons as many times as you can in five minutes.

As a team of five, we set the record at 100 button pushes. We were pretty proud of ourselves. Madi and I also set the two-person record with 60 button pushes. At the end of the day, we came back and did it one more time and set a new record at 160 button pushes as a team of five. The kids were so excited, and we were glad to end the day on a high note. They were getting kind of grumpy by the end because they were tired.
