I have been to the Science Center several times since I was a kid myself, and it becomes more and more fun as the years go by. I would say this is a great attraction for both kids and "older kids" ;-) A very good way to spend a rainy day.
The Science Centre is good, I went on a Saturday and it was filled with kids (obviously being a childrens science centre). Its all very hands on, but there is very little explanation or instruction in English - so you just need to guess what to do. The kids there were having a ball so I reckon its good to take them if you've been dragging them through boring museums and they need something to keep them interested.
I went to the science center with my two children aged 10 and 13. It was great fun, and there is lot of activities were you need to activate your braincells. One of the things we enjoyed were a machine showed different pictures of eg a mountain climber and insects while meassuring your pulse in your finger. Afterwards it showed which picture you reacted the strongest towards. There is also a few fun games that Thomas Angells supposingly played as a kid. We enjoyed our visit!
The stately old Bank of Norway building was converted about 15 years ago to a science centre, very much in line with Trondheim's self-image as the technology capital of Norway and seat of the NTNU. The centre is hands-on and mainly for children. However, anyone who has done school physics and chemistry will not experience many new things here. It was also somewhat worn down. And, as always in Norway, highly expensive. I do NOT recommend this.
A very nice museum that is great for kids and people that are interested in science or to learn.Recommended to visit
Everyone, age 5-45, enjoyed this stay. Quite a number of challenges even for a fully grown achademic, and many enjoyable displays for my 5-year old daughter. Highly recommended. The "Planetariet" could be more interesting though.
We went there with 5 kids, age 4-10 years, and they all had great fun! We were there for 3 hours, had a blast! Nice place to go for kods all ages!
I visited Vitensenteret without a special plan, because of freezing outside, around minus 10 in the afternoon. Since I went to Trondheim with my 10 years old son, so I decided to buy the ticket and think it will be interesting for him. Illusion room, experiment with weather, get to know more the anatomy, demonstration of how the heart pumps the blood to the whole body, measuring the brain activity, get to know what pictures attract us more by registering our reaction through the sensor, Thomas Angels's mathematics, biking to produce energy to turn on the electronic equipment are all examples of the advantages of this museum, If you travel with children, and never have experience visiting any science museum, this is worth visit. But since we have visited several science Museums in different cities and countries (e.g. Stockholm, Oslo, Salzburg, Vilnius, and some more), we were familiar with some attractions. Nevertheless, it is still attractive for my son. He spent more than two hours; understand some scientific explanation behind several demonstration there. However, not all explanations are available in multi-language. Or, they are not easily found because most of the English version, for example, was behind the pile of paper with Norwegian in the front part. In general, it was still nice visit and had been a perfect escape from cold....
This is a very good place to bring kids. Its lots of fun and our kids love it. They get to investigate how sciense works and learns something on each vissit. Its also fun for us adults.
This place is super fun, you could try so many different games that explain most of the rules of the mathematics... There are plenty of rules for the kids.
