Welcome to INSPIRIA!
With a rotating themed exhibition on the first floor, a permanent science center exhibition on the second floor, a planetarium, the Logia shop, a café, and an outdoor park featuring a pump track, climbing structures, a bungee trampoline, and an e-bike course, INSPIRIA offers a fantastic space for both children and adults to explore and enjoy.
INSPIRIA science center is primarily used for education purposes on weekdays. But during weekends and holidays, it transforms into an adventure park with fun activities for children of all ages.
On this page we've summarized some of the highlights – as well as practical information – in English.

Indoor activities
On the second floor, you'll find a planetarium with a 50 seat capacity, where you get to travel to the stars. A host guides you (in Norwegian) through the galaxies. It's still a remarkable experience, even if you don't understand what the host is saying. The same goes for the Science Show, which includes fun experiments.
Outdoor activites
The Bike park is free to use if you bring your own bikes, but bike rental for kids is included in the entrance ticket. In addition to the bikeway with signs and stop lights, the Bike park has a «Pump Track» with appropriately sized humps for bigger kids to develop their bike skills.
Adults can try electrical bikes for free on our 500 meter long Test track, which is separate from the Bike park.
The Bungee Trampoline is open during the summer holiday, and the activity is included in the entry fee. Other playground equipment, such as climbers, sandboxes and merry-go-rounds, are located by the kiosk and is free to use at all times at own risk.
