Gjøvik Glassverk (glassworks)

These glassworks were founded by Caspar Kauffeldt in 1807, and the local communities that have grown up around the works became the basis for Gjøvik as a town. In the glass-blowers' hut, you can watch true craftspeople at work.

Gøy på Landet (indoor playground)

Inland Norway's largest indoor playground. The site is full of fun-filled activities and challenges - enormous air-filled attractions, obstacle courses, balance beams, mini-car tracks and a ballroom with 30,000 balls.

Vitensenteret Innlandet Science Centre 

At the science centre you will find a technological treasure trove with plenty of fun activities. Here you can satisfy your inquisitive nature and perhaps discover an answer to some of nature's many fascinating mysteries.

You can compete with a robot, experience the starry skies in the planetarium, climb up the climbing wall, publish your own online newspaper, drive «Bestemor Duck's» Ohio down dark autumn roads, compete in having inland Norway's loudest scream, and much, much more. And afterwards you can visit the region's most exciting souvenir shop and relax at the café.
