Welcome to the Science Park's harvest festival!

Finally, the time has come to reap the fruits of our hard work.

In the spring we sowed and planted many different varieties of vegetables, herbs and berries, and during the summer the plants grew big and beautiful, while we diligently watered and fertilized them.

We are therefore very happy when we can now invite you to sniff and taste, play and learn - and celebrate all the food that is ready here at VitenEnga.

Have you tried purple beans? Do you know how to take seeds from your plants? And how can you preserve the crop so it lasts through the winter?

We couldn't do this miracle alone. We need plants, animals and insects on our team. If you're particularly curious about insects, you can also attend the family show.

What is Science Weekend?

The last weekend of every month we organize Science Weekend for children and young people at Vitenparken . Here curiosity is combined with science and creativity through fun activities for young and old. 

Each Science Weekend has its own unique theme and our facilitators set the framework for educational, interactive and fun activities that help children develop their interests in science, creativity and the environment.
