Green Attraction
Universe Science Park is the first attraction in Sønderjylland to be certified with the new Green Attraction environmental label. The label is aimed at attractions with a focus on sustainability, thus making it easier for guests to choose sustainable attractions. Universe has a greater focus on reducing its negative footprint and has implemented sustainable solutions at the park, such as sorting of waste and the use of reusable beakers. The park complies with criteria with respect to water, energy and foodstuffs, and has employed a Green Attraction coordinator to work with sustainable development and to implement green initiatives.

You can learn a great deal about the world of technology at Universe. Science becomes a game through fun experiments, in addition to which you have the chance to build things yourself.
Although the majority of the park’s activities are action-packed, there are also quieter sections, thus making Universe an ideal destination for a day trip for adults and children alike.
