Very tactile experience, a hands on approach to learning that English attractions could learn from. My 6 year old daughter loved the proximity of the birds, monkeys and butterflies, Horseriding and "Jobland", My 10 year old son being an astronaut, Policeman and hanging upside down on the "sticky wall", my 12 year old son the magnificent aquarium, Me and the...

Sweden really knows what they were doing...comments from my group were "it's really well organized". The kids loved it. We spent hours here, several layers of things to see/do. There is a crime lab, a space level, a rain forest level (free roaming monkeys you cannot touch) but can come so close to!...the dinosaur level is at the top (outside)... More

This is a zoo, but more than that! It covers everything from monkeys free to roam about in the jungle, to birds flying around you, to fish swimming in man-made streams, and creeks, from various faunas in the world, from the tropics to northerly latitudes. An experience to cherish, quite unusual in every way!

Gives a nice view of Swedish nature and is worth a visit. The Dinosaur exhibition was not that good though.

Starts off with a funicular ride to the top and you make your way down through different climatic (swedish) regions with plenty of interest such as reptiles. Also a discovery area and amazonian setting. Good areas for children and adults alike such as space exploration and csi like detective area.

This is the Scandinavia’s largest Science Centre. You should not miss it while you are in Goteborg (Gothenburg). Do you want to see Anaconda and Piranha? Just visit its Rain Forest zone and I think this is the best part of this Science Centre. You can see Dinosaurs in other Science Centres of other countries, but this Rain Forest is... More

Excellent conference centre near Gothia Tower, adjecent to Universeum. Lots of space, lots of rooms, lounges, places to sit down. Good toilet services. Good and distinctive signs to get around the place. I wish there is such conference centre in my country.
