Experimentarium
About

Located in Hellerup, just north of central Copenhagen, Experimentarium is Denmark’s premier science centre—where curiosity meets play. Housed in a former Tuborg bottling plant, the museum spans four floors of interactive exhibits designed to engage all ages. Visitors can encase themselves in giant soap bubbles, explore the human body through thermal imaging and 3D brain models, or navigate global trade in a ship simulator. The copper spiral staircase, inspired by DNA’s double helix, connects themed zones like the Miniverse for toddlers and the Tunnel of Senses, which traces sensory development from womb to old age. Outdoors, the rooftop terrace offers panoramic views and hands-on activities. Exhibits are bilingual and tactile, encouraging learning through movement, sound, and experimentation. Recognised by TIME Magazine as one of the world’s greatest places, Experimentarium blends science, sustainability, and fun in a uniquely Danish way—making it a must-visit for families, educators, and lifelong learners.
