Snabba fakta: Hands-on exhibits let people prod, spin and light up experiments, so you leave having actually made something work. A domed planetarium projects immersive night-sky shows onto the ceiling, turning lectures into cinematic, full-sensory experiences.
Höjdpunkter: Volunteer 'Explainers' in colourful lab coats transform everyday objects into loud, hands-on demos, filling rooms with popping sounds and audience laughter. Lie back under the dome to feel bass notes rumble beneath you while projected comets streak overhead, a visceral mix that makes abstract science physically exciting.
Insidertips
- Book planetarium shows and workshops in advance, they often sell out on weekends.
- Wear comfortable clothes and enclosed shoes for hands-on exhibits and maker zones.
- Head to the ground floor Wonderlab first while energy is high, then explore quieter galleries later.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and pack snacks if the café queue looks long during busy periods.
