Tidsrejsen, meaning 'The Time Travel,' is an expansive 22,000 m² outdoor exhibit at Randers Regnskov, designed to transport visitors through Denmark's rich natural history. This innovative attraction, developed in collaboration with Randers Kommune and Museum Østjylland, and supported by a DKK 16 million grant from Nordea-fonden, offers a unique blend of education and adventure. The journey begins in the pre-Ice Age era, where visitors encounter towering 'mammoth trees' reminiscent of ancient forests. These colossal structures invite exploration and provide a glimpse into a time when Neanderthals and cave hyenas roamed the land. The exhibit features life-sized replicas and habitats, allowing guests to experience the environment of these extinct species firsthand. Progressing through the Stone Age, the exhibit showcases the transition to settled farming communities. Here, visitors can interact with domesticated animals such as goats, pigs, and cows, highlighting the shift from hunter-gatherer societies to agrarian lifestyles. The authenticity of the Stone Age village is enhanced by reconstructed dwellings and tools, offering a tangible connection to Denmark's early inhabitants. The Iron Age segment introduces the mystical world of sacrificial bogs, where ancient rituals and offerings took place. This area is designed to evoke the enigmatic atmosphere of these sacred sites, complete with replicas of artifacts and interpretive displays explaining their significance. A highlight of Tidsrejsen is the 'Istiden' (Ice Age) exhibit, which immerses visitors in a landscape shaped by retreating glaciers. This section features interactive elements such as a rensdyrjægerens lejr (reindeer hunter's camp) and encounters with animals like the wolverine, providing insights into survival strategies during this harsh period. Throughout Tidsrejsen, the emphasis is on interactive learning and play. The exhibit encourages visitors of all ages to engage with the past through hands-on activities, climbing structures, and immersive environments. Informative signage and digital guides enhance the experience, offering detailed explanations of each era's flora, fauna, and human history. Tidsrejsen also extends beyond the confines of Randers Regnskov, guiding visitors to significant historical sites within Randers Kommune. Locations such as Kastbjerg Ådal, with its ancient roads and unique natural features, and Haversdås, home to a Neolithic long barrow and dolmen, are highlighted. These sites provide real-world connections to the themes explored within the exhibit, encouraging further exploration of Denmark's rich heritage. In summary, Tidsrejsen at Randers Regnskov is a captivating and educational experience that brings Denmark's natural and cultural history to life. Through its innovative design and interactive elements, it offers visitors a unique opportunity to travel through time and gain a deeper appreciation for the country's past and its impact on the present and future.
