New exhibition about energy

Experience a brand-new exhibition where you do not just learn about energy – you experience it with your whole body. Through play, movement and curiosity, you explore how energy is created, used and shapes the future. We take you on an interactive journey from the body and nature to technology and society.

Here, you can test your own strength, explore nature’s energy and make choices for the energy society of the future. Energy is not just something you learn about – it is something you do.

Dive into the exciting themed exhibition about energy,  experience epic journeys through space in our planetarium, and be amazed by spectacular science shows.
Children can become detectives in the Crime Lab or test their cycling skills in the large outdoor park. Indoors, creative workshops, board games in the game café, and hands-on experiments await—sparking curiosity in both young and old alike.

Crime Lab

Welcome to the INSPIRIA Crime Lab – an exciting adventure where you become a real detective for a day! Professor Bubble, our eccentric scientist, has lost the secret recipe for his world-famous fizzy powder – and now he needs YOUR help to find it!

In the Crime Lab, you and your team must work together to solve a series of challenging puzzles, crack codes, and uncover hidden clues. Each task brings you one step closer to the legendary recipe. Use logical thinking, be creative, and pay close attention to the hints – sometimes it's the smallest detail that makes the biggest difference.

Game Café

Take a break from everyday life and step into the Game Café at INSPIRIA, where both kids and adults can enjoy board games of all kinds! You'll find everything from timeless classics like Ludo, Monopoly, and Chess to modern, innovative games that challenge your strategy, teamwork, and creativity.

Whether you're looking for quick, fun games or deeper, more tactical experiences, there's something for everyone. The Game Café is perfect for families, groups of friends, and board game enthusiasts who want to discover new favorites or relive old memories.

Reuse Workshop

At the Reuse Workshop at INSPIRIA, creativity truly comes to life! It’s all about giving old items a new purpose – by repairing, redesigning, and creating something completely unique. In a time when sustainability and environmental awareness are more important than ever, we invite both young and old to learn how imagination can turn what we already have into something new.

The workshop is filled with exciting materials, tools, and inspiration. Maybe you'll transform old clothes into new treasures, build figures from used parts, or repair something that would otherwise be thrown away? With help and guidance from our skilled staff, the only limit is your imagination.

Planetariet

Shows at the centre

The planetary trip into the universe
We take you on a spectacular planetarium journey in space! An activity host tells about planets, stars, the solar system, the starry sky, galaxies and much, much more, while you sit down in the cinema chair and look up. The planetarium trip is best suited for those over the age of 5. Duration approx. 15–20 min.

Science show
Join our exciting science show where fun experiments spark curiosity and learning! Best suited for children aged 3 and up.

GyroXtreme - only at 14.15–14.45

Want to become an astronaut? GyroXtreme is an astronaut simulator that will simulate your journey up into the stratosphere (or perhaps rather back down from the thermosphere?). GyroXtreme reflects the astronaut training on the first Apollo programs and where guests get to experience the violent g-forces that can take place in a rocket launch, while at the same time they are given a coordination task in the form of child's play which immediately becomes more difficult when the world is turned in all directions and at high speed. Height requirement 140 cm.

Innsiden av fantaskipet

Fantaship

Join a space journey to the Moon! The Fantaship takes you and your crew on an exciting – and slightly challenging – trip into outer space. You are the ship’s crew and must work together to solve different tasks along the way. The more tasks you complete, the more points you earn!

But be prepared – there may be a few surprises during the journey. We therefore recommend that children are accompanied by an adult or older sibling on the trip.

 

Borrow a bike or try an electric bike

Our bike park has a rough Pump Track, and several nice trails suitable for children who are learning to ride a bike. Some of the bikes for loan even have support wheels. At INSPIRIA there is a 500-metre long test track at the back of the building, facing E6, where there is room to pedal a bit. Loan of bicycles is included in the entrance fee.

Information on lending and renting equipment in the outdoor park can be found here. If you want to visit the outdoor park, without having a ticket to the centre, you can still hire bicycles, scooters and other equipment. 

Bungee trampoline

The highlight of the summer outdoors at INSPIRIA is that the very popular Bungee Trampoline is finally back! Here you can take trampoline jumping to new heights, securely fastened to a skipping rope. In case of heavy traffic, jumping time will be limited to 5 minutes per person and a maximum of ten people per person. hour. ATTENTION: Weather conditions due to security considerations.
