The rainforest
Feel the heat and hear the monkeys chatter. Step into the rainforest and find yourself among sloths, birds and a waterfall.
Space
How long is a day on Mars, and how does a space toilet work? Explore the solar system and journey through the universe.
The ocean zone
Dive beneath the surface and discover the ocean. Explore everything from shallow seagrass meadows to deep oceans full of life.
Humans

Wisdome
Sit back in Sweden’s largest visualisation dome. Immersive 3D worlds and a powerful sound system take you on a journey through time and space. It is neither a traditional cinema nor IMAX – at Wisdome, the line between film and reality begins to disappear, putting you right in the middle of the experience.
