Gjøvik Olympic Cavern Hall is the largest spectator hall inside a mountain in the world. The Vitensenteret Innlandet science centre is worth a visit.

Gjøvik Olympic Cavern Hall

Built for the XVII Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer in 1994, the hall is the world’s largest spectator hall inside a mountain. It is located 120 metres inside Hovdetoppen, with the entrance in the middle of downtown Gjøvik.

The hall features a permanent exhibition of Norway’s largest rock carving exhibition and a photo exhibition of images from the Olympic Winter Games in 1994.

D/S Skibladner

Lake Mjøsa is an exquisite gem in itself, but experiencing the nation’s largest lake from the deck of the paddle steamer Skibladner is truly a unique experience. For 149 years, the white swan of Lake Mjøsa has steamed majestically across the lake, bridging together cities and people.

Gjøvigs Glassværk

These glass works 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 city. In the glass-blower’s hut, you can watch true craftspeople at work.

Gøy på Landet

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

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

At Vitensenteret Innlandet you can compete with a robot, experience the starry skies in our planetarium, climb up the climbing wall, publish your own on-line 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.
