Billet Universeum Göteborg - Aquarium, Science, Faune, Zoo

I was nervous coming here as recent reviews stated how insanely crowded this place was. Luckily it wasn’t bad whatsoever. Enjoyed almost all of the exhibits we saw. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was the cost. I think it’s a lot of $$$ to spend for little kiddos.

We are super happy after our visit with our 4-year-old. He really liked the aquarium.

Had greater expectations for this place. There were few animals to see in the rainforest, and I saw only one bird. The layout seemed a little messy, and it was necessary to take an elevator between the floors. I think the place was somewhat opaque and did not live up to expectations. The place had very much fish to see, but other animals were not so much to boast of. I'm probably not going to go here again.

Awful time for my kid who became very sad seeing that lone toucan who had nowhere to fly. This was as horrible for us as it was for the animals. They don’t have enough space, and I don’t wanna keep hearing the excuse that you are saving endangered species. You are depressing these animals. And you are not teaching children anything - everywhere they were screaming and running and knocking on the glass encasement of the animals. Just sad! Didn’t offer much and the animals and fishlife look visibly down.

To start there is nothing wrong with schools visiting zoos or museums but when you accept every group on a single day it’s miserable to walk through this museum/zoo as a group of just 2 people. Nobody at checkin warned us that today a lot of schools/ groups are visiting and as soon we arrived on the 7th floor where the tour starts there where groups of teens everywhere running around and shouting. When you tried to move trough the crowds you kept being bumped by the groups of kids running and playing around. We left the museum early because it was not doable to read a single sign or just stare at an animal with being pushed / bumped in to for a few minutes.

Have been to the Universe several times but it has become worn. Much in the exhibitions about body and space that does not work. Time to renew a little.

We went with an open mind and didn't know what to expect. There 2 school groups there when we visited, the younger ones being better behaved than the older ones. They were setting the museum up for an evening event so there were several obstructions about the place. I would recommend in the winter to put your coats in lockers, as the place in quite warm in places. You start at the top and work your way down, several of the exhibits on the top floor were still in hibernation due to it being March but it does get better as you continue through the different areas. We really enjoyed the reptile section. The rain forest part was really hot and slippery in places so be careful. There is alot interaction features on the different levels, too many to mention. I would say at least 3 hours if you go to every section and take part in the interaction. You can also book other experiences which take place in the dome, ours was 3D and off the planets and in was fantastic. Definitely worth a visit.

My friends and I (from America) visited the Universium on Good Friday, a particularly busy day in Sweden because kids are out of school. It is absurd to not have restrictions on how many people are allowed in at a time. The entire facility was overcrowded and was borderline impossible to enjoy any exhibits. The museum is designed as a 7 story fun house for kids, which is great! Except there are many, many flaws in safety that cannot be overlooked. For example, an almost solid black revolving door caused a little girl to get her arm wedged in between the wall and the door because the person on the other side could not see her when the door was pushed. The railings? Low and thin considering you are trusting them to keep your children safe from falling 15 meters. The only redeeming quality to the Universium was the rainforest exhibit that spanned the whole 7 floors with multiple ways to traverse through it. As a child I would have loved it there, If there weren’t a thousand other kids at the same time. Other than the expansive tropics, there is no wow factor to any of there other exhibits, nothing that can’t be seen at any other science museum at a lower cost. Not recommended.

Very expensive place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When my 13 year old son showed the tickets on his mobile phone he got a reply that "then you should not disturb the staff"?! Yet she took on his cell phone and pulled them out and told us to scan them. Unfortunately very not working 'press the button and find out more about space' so nothing happened. Didn't like the tropical climate either, many places where there was nothing to see. Unfortunately, this pulls down my rating. I've never been here before, haven't missed anything.

Be there with the family. A good experience but not in relation to price range.
