Bergen Science Centre VilVite

About

VilVite is an exciting science centre where we invite both young and old into the compelling world of natural science, phenomena and technology. The whole family can have plenty of fun in combination with learning experiences whilst spending a day at VilVite.

There is much to do and explore in the large exhibition, and everything can be touched, played and experimented with. You will find water experiments, robots, globes, virtual expeditions over and under water – and much, much more. Explore VilVite’s extensive exhibition and get carried away by the excitement and fun of science!

You will find many new experiences at VilVite. In the exhibition “Illusions and VR”, not everything is as it seems, and your brain may be tricked. The exhibition comprises a number of different experiences - including several VR installations. You may also walk on the moon, explore the underwater station and experiment with new installations in the Creative Garden.

Every weekend and in holidays you can witness fascinating physics and chemistry experiments in our science shows, and you can test your creative abilities in a workshop in the Creative Garden

Play for the day – learn for a lifetime!
