I have visited the vitensenteret several times, with my grandchildren and family from abroad. The most important issue is however, how children get engaged in science. That’s why I also like going there on my own. So nice to look at people when they are enjoying themselves. The food is very good, reasonable prices

Olden itself is just a small town with a few shops but surrounded by majestic scenery. We took an excursion into the National Park and it is just amazing, arms of the largest glacier in Europe peeping out from every valley, stunning waterfalls and rushing rivers. We took a boat trip from the furthest end of the Fijord practically at the base of the Glacier high above us. Just wonderful.
4. Salmon Center Gildeskal
Knowledge center for aquaculture. Guiding in our display center with a lecture about the salmon industry. See the salmon in our 360-degrees aquarium (closed until sept. during maintenance). Boat-trip to a sea-farm must be pre-booked due to capacity. Open monday-friday 10-15, or by appointment.
