Physics and Motion on the Ground Floor

Step into the realm of physics and mechanics where motion comes alive. Massive ball tracks twist through the air, engines hum with power, and colorful paints splash in creative experiments. Feel the thrill of soap bubble shows that float ethereally, demonstrating surface tension and light refraction. These setups invite you to push, pull, and propel objects, revealing the principles behind everyday forces in a whirlwind of kinetic energy.

Sensory Wonders and Water Worlds Above

Ascend to the second floor for a plunge into water dynamics and sensory illusions. Navigate mirror mazes that distort reality, race magnets through twisting paths, and explore the tunnel of darkness where senses sharpen. Water exhibits cascade and swirl, letting you manipulate flows to understand hydraulics and buoyancy. It's a playground for the senses, blending tactile feedback with visual surprises that challenge perceptions.

Illusions and Human Body Explorations

The third floor unravels mind-bending illusions, from optical tricks to spatial distortions that fool the eye. Up top, discover the intricacies of the human body—shout into echo chambers, experience weightlessness in simulated freefall, and test reflexes in competitive challenges. These experiments demystify biology and physiology, turning abstract concepts into personal, bodily insights through laughter and awe.

Summer Thrills in the Experiment Park

From May to September, the expansive outdoor park extends the adventure. Cycle across high wires for balance mastery, pan for gold in streams, and brave earthquake simulators or hurricane winds. Water play areas splash with centrifugal force rides and robot arms, while a plant maze twists paths amid biodiversity themes. Picnic spots under lush greenery provide pauses amid sustainable exploration.

Daily Shows and Practical Delights

Throughout the day, screens announce soap bubble spectacles, experiment demonstrations, and mathemagics performances that blend education with entertainment. A 14-meter spiral slide pierces all floors for giddy descents. Refuel in the third-floor restaurant with Nordic dishes or the park café's ice creams. A well-stocked shop offers take-home experiments, ensuring the curiosity continues beyond the visit.
