Unverseum in Gothenburg is a nice little science museum that's meant for kids, but was fun for two…read moreadults (me and my friend) too. There is SO much to do and see at Universeum. It's almost like a zoo meets a science museum meets a planetarium. Each floor has a different theme, so it's very easy to traverse and do each floor in order or bounce around. They had floors for each type of animal to visit (Ocean, Reptiles, Humans, and others) They have shows in the Wisdome, which is a big theater that is in the shape of a large geodesic dome. This is a separate ticket you buy, so check ahead what is being shown and see if you want to plan a visit during your Universeum visit time. There were a lot of kids running around here, as I said, but this is an educational museum so that is to be expected. If you're an adult going without kids, don't feel weird about it because it's super interesting for adults too!

Universeum is a child and family-oriented attraction, and I wouldn't highly recommend it for adults…read morewithout children or put it on my "must see" list. But it's still something fun to do (although expensive), and my sister and I decided to check out Universeum because we had the time, and there wasn't much else to do that worked with our schedule and interests. The highlight of Universeum was the rainforest exhibit. There were small monkeys running around, and they were so friggin' cute! The monkeys are free to roam around the exhibit and will walk right up to people and run around their feet--they aren't behind any kind of barrier. Despite there being special doors to prevent escape, be careful when exiting to ensure the monkeys don't get out!

From Wikipedia: "Since the collapse of the shipyards, the area has been rebuilt into Gothenburg's…read morefinest modern neighbourhood. The former machinery buildings have been renovated into a hotel with conference facilities. An 84 metre high gantry crane - the Eriksberg crane - stands as a remnant of the area's shipbuilding past." Really cool historical structure that gives Eriksberg some unique qualities and ambiance. This is definitely the area of Gothenburg to just sit, chill and people watch in the afternoon.
