The Miniverse is a unique science exhibition developed by Experimentarium and designed especially for the youngest children aged 1 to 5 years and their grown-ups.

The Miniverse is an adventurous world, where your child’s senses are tickled and the natural need to play is stimulated. The exhibition is a place full of play – and rather than an amusement park, it is a safe place for the youngest to explore.

Seven unique areas

The Miniverse consists of seven unique areas, each with inspiration to well-known games and play – and each with their own unique science learning goals.

In ‘The Storm Construction’ you build with large foam blocks. You are challenged by the forces of nature, and when the storm comes, it is important that you have made stable constructions. By also using trial and error, you try to build the most weather resistant structures.

Another area, ‘The Mirror Sea’, is a wonderful “underwater world’ where you will explore strange mirror phenomena, in which your reflections are turned upside down, are doubled or disappear.

In ‘The Hospital’, the teddy bears have bones in their body. Examining the bears gives your child an understanding of the skeleton. When you scan the bears in the X-ray machine, you can see whether teddy has broken his arm or leg and find out where to put the bandage.

At ‘The Farm’ we harvest vegetables and fruit from the ground and obtain meat and eggs from the animals. Everything is sold in the farm shop and can be transformed into delicious food in the kitchen. Classical children’s play, which, at the same time, provides your child with maths and science understanding.

In the area called ‘The Wind’, you cannot actually see the wind, however you can feel it and experience how it pushes and moves things. Some objects fly away easily with the wind, while other objects swirl along doing somersaults.

Count to 10! Will Fox find Mole when it’s hiding in The Hideout?

Will Fox find Mole? You can dress up and play hide-and-seek in ‘The Hideout’. And you can also talk about food chains, predators and preys and the order of nature.

It is always twilight in ‘The Shadow Forest’. Light and shadow play together while the sun is setting. It may seem somewhat scary, however you will also find a nice camp fire, where you can sit together and talk about how shadows only exist where there is light and how these two elements are closely connected.

Apart from the seven areas, the Miniverse also features cozy Reading Nooks, where you can enjoy being calm together and read the Miniverse-books with the fun characters from the Miniverse, before you proceed with more active play, fun and experiences.

Take the games home with you

The Miniverse combines science with well-known games, such as hide-and-seek, construction game, sorting items and playing doctor.

It is therefore easy and safe for you and your child to get started and experience the different science topics in a playful way.

The fact that the games you play are well known makes it easier to take the Miniverse experience and the science behind it home with you.

One hour of play in the Miniverse inspires many hours of play at home.

And the next time you come, the playing will become a new and even more intensive experience.

Safe and inspiring

When you arrive in The Miniverse, you will notice that we have thought about the practical aspects of your visit, and you will be met with a comfortable, clean and safe place to spend time in for both yourself and your child.

All areas are covered with soft carpets and outside shoes must be placed in ’The Arrival’ so that you only play in slippers or socks.

Big brothers and sisters are allowed in The Miniverse as long as they are aware of the other visitors – and a grown up must always be present.

Baby carriages and strollers must be parked outside The Miniverse in The Arrival area, where you will also find the Nursing Room. You are welcome to eat your lunch and to fetch fresh drinking water in the Food Park just outside The Miniverse.
