About
Brze činjenice: A sprawling science complex on a university campus mixes hands-on exhibits with active research labs, so you might run into students and live experiments during a visit. Many exhibits invite tactile interaction, letting you touch models, spin gyroscopes, and join rotating thematic shows that make repeat visits feel fresh.
Istaknuto: Low-light planetarium sessions create a velvety darkness where projected constellations glide overhead, the stars so sharp visitors instinctively whisper. A live Tesla coil demonstration makes hair prickle and fills the air with a metallic tang while blue-white sparks crackle up to two meters, turning a lecture hall into a sensory experiment.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, exhibits require walking and hands-on participation.
- Reserve planetarium show seats online if available, the dome fills fast on weekends.
- Bring a refillable water bottle, cafés nearby get crowded during peak times.
- Photograph the interactive physics exhibits and the planetarium dome, avoid flash near sensitive displays.
