Bergen’s largest aquapark
If you need to cool down after all the playing at VilVite, then the Veskanten Waterworld is a great next stop. The aquapark is 10 minutes from Bergen city center by car. Here you will find Norway's longest water slide, indoors and outdoors pools and of course: you can take the Superbowl slide! Only the toughest ones take the slide where they set off at high speed, are shot into the centrifuge, where they muddle around and around before they finally fall into the landing pool.The Veskanten Waterworld is linked to the Vestkanten shopping center with 110 stores. There is also a curling rink and a bowling alley under the same roof as the aquapark, a perfect spot for a rainy day in Bergen!
Here you will find all activities and attractions in Bergen and the region.
