During the winter holidays (week 7) between 10.30am and 2pm, Himmelrummet at the Wadden Sea Center will be packed with activities. Whether you feel like being creative, want to play games or set up experiments, we have something for you.
How does an oyster work? The nature guide will dissect oysters and we will talk about their biology and exciting adaptations. We also look at their ability to filtrate seawater, by setting up simple experiments.
Feeling creative? We have collected a lot of oyster shells that you can draw in and use to make mobiles with. The mobiles can also be decorated with beads and driftwood.
You also have the opportunity to color your own mask with some of the animals you can find on the water.
Would you rather play a game? Try our own version of Ludo (Vudo) or our "fishing pond" which gives you the opportunity to learn about the mudflats in a different way.
If you can't decide which activity sounds most exciting, join them all!
With the unique nature of architect Dorte Mandrups building - where reeds are used on facade, roof and underlay, and lists of robinia-wood make the already existing building melt seamlessly together with the new building - the result is a structure, that almost seems to grow from the ground - gently and adapted to the flat marshland.
The exhibition "THE MIGRATORY BIRDS' WADDEN SEA" is likewise adapted to the singular center. In cooperation with THE WADDEN SEA CENTRE, architect Johan Carlsson has with his thorough design created a poetic, aesthetic and modern exhibition, which with great perception shows the Wadden Sea and the migratory birds. Here are experiences which catches and involves the guests of the center - young as well as elderly - in the wondrous world of the Wadden Sea.
