Bergen is the children’s city, where fun activities and spectacular attractions are waiting to be explored.
Here is a selection of all year around activities that puts a smile on every kids’ face!
Bergen Aquarium
Bergen Aquarium is one of the tourist favorites in Bergen, just a short walk or a buss drive from the Fish Market. At Bergen Aquarium you can see so much more than rare and colorful fish and other animals living in an aquarium. Bergen Aquarium during feeding hours, you will see an entertaining show, as seals and penguins are doing tricks and exercises as they are served their meals.
VilVite science centre
VilVite Science Centre is a dreamworld for every child, filled with exciting activities and challenges. Here the kids can explore the world, challenge themselves and have fun at the same time. You are not told how everything works, you are encouraged to figure it out yourself through fun exercises and activities.
Try the new Fløibanen Funicular or Ulriken Cable Cars
Safe and secure, but at the same time quite exciting when the two cable cars take you up and down the mountainside of Mount Ulriken. Feel the tingling in your stomach as you look down at the city as cars, houses and people look smaller and smaller during the climb to the top, 643 meters above sea level.
From the top of Mt. Ulriken there are great hiking opportunities and a restaurant.
Vannkanten Waterworld
Including Norway’s longest waterslide, outdoor and indoor pools, Jacuzzis, climbing walls and SuperBowl, Vannkanten Waterworld is great fun for all kids. The enormous BOB-slide gives you a real tickle in your stomach, and the lighting effects, music and timekeeping makes this the big favorite. Feel the wonderful water in the therapy pool, or enjoy the day both under and above the water surface. Every Saturday and Sunday, the mascot Duffe shows up, giving the kids a great show. Vannkanten lies next to Vestkanten shopping mall, which is the biggest in Bergen.
It also has a bowling alley, curling, ice hall and a fitness centre. Take bhe buss (line 5, 42 or 43) from downtown Bergen, or drive 10 minutes on Riksveg 55 towards Sotra to get there. Vannkanten is the place for kids who like water!
