PULSE
Open daily through Dec, 10:00-17:00; Experimentarium City, Trangravsvej 12, Cph K; 105-160kr; experimentarium.dk
The exhibition PULSE – everyday life upside down at Experimentarium offers different humorous and vibrant indoor challenges to its visitors every day.
It can get competitive – some people might train for this like they were training for a marathon, although they’re more likely to burn calories through laughter than anything else.
Among the fascinating activities they have on offer are ‘The Balance Kitchen’, where you can swing and climb like Spiderman using tea towels and rolling pins. Jump around and use your upper body strength to maintain balance.
‘The Obstacle Hallway’ is a great opportunity for you to unleash your inner ninja skills. Take some inspiration from the Mission Impossible movies to avoid the tricky string obstacles coming your way to make it to the other side.
If you like dancing, join the fun at ‘The Dance Bathroom’ where you can train your co-ordination and balance with upbeat music and fellow energetic dancers.
It will definitely help you lighten up, so dance your stress away!
Would you also like to have the best chair in the room? Battle in ‘The Rodeo Lounge’ where the biggest couch potato gets tipped off his or her throne.
Whoever manages to sit the longest takes home the award.
Remember that all the activities require two or more participants. It is after all healthy, active family fun at its very best.
