I loved learning about why the Northern Lights happen. Thought the viewing room was worth the admission.
Great experience

Great experience!!! Good and easy to understand information. Nice staff. Now I'm ready for the northern light hunt :D
If you don't see Nature's northern lights, this helps fill the gap!

We loved the exhibits and interactive displays. Sebastian was running the reception and the gift shop, and still managed to make us welcome at the conclusion of our visit.
Not High on List

Provided good information, if you did no research or hear little from guides before going. Pictures and videos were good but, I don’t believe as advertised. Ads imply a wrap-around screen and all you get is virtual reality goggles at the end. Not what expected, but probably good for the less informed/knowledgeable.
Grandioses Erlebnis

Da wir leider keine Nordlichter in Natura gesehen haben, war dies (fast) ein vollständiger Ersatz. es waren wunderschöne Photos und Videos.
