Do you like hands-on science that is both simple and fun, while still being fascinating? More importantly, are you traveling with children who have such interests? If so, then book a room in a budget hotel in Copenhagen near the Experimentarium. This combination museum and science center is located in the old Tuborg bottling plant in the northeastern edge of Osterboro. It has been designed to make science accessible and entertaining for both adults and children alike.
There are about three hundred exhibits here, and they are all interactive. Anyone can do them. Visitors can delve into virtual technology, program robots, or experience a devastating earthquake. Children can guide a cargo ship into a harbor, check their own hearing frequencies, or test their emotions. The exhibits are strong on environmental issues. Visitors can learn how winds develop, and examine how carbon dioxide emissions will affect the climate one hundred years from now. In the Kids Pavilion younger children can experiment with magnets, and hear what their voices sound like backwards. All exhibits are labeled in Danish and English. If you’re staying in a family oriented discount hotel near the Experimentium in Copenhagen, you won’t want to miss out on this splendid educational attraction.
