Technopolis

Reading how science works can be boring, but no kid can have a boring day at Technopolis. This science & techy museum is perfect for a family day out

Take a few hours to explore this super duper interactive museum. Technopolis is mostly aimed at kids and teens but adults can have fun here too. You & your kids will find lots of info on science and tech. It’s a lot more fun than you’d expect. The museum has a bunch of different rooms aimed at showing different science stuff like gravity that you can interact with. If you want to make science fun, let the kids spend a few hours playing around in the museum. They’ll learn plenty too.

• Each room is aimed at helping you learn science and how tech is used in everyday life. You don’t have to be a super science buff to love this museum, since each room will relate to some of your interests
• Most of the rooms are aimed at those over 8+ years old. Younger kids will still enjoy the rooms, but they’re probably not going to really get what it’s all about
• One of the most interactive rooms is Xplora. Here you get to try out different jobs. There’s everything from tiger dentistry to fashion design. This room is especially great for teens
• Aspiring musicians should head over to PLAY. It’s a music room where you can try out DJing and see sound vibrating
• Want even more from your visit? The museum offers regular workshops and demos like dry ice trials. They’re usually done in Dutch, but there are manuals in English and French. But if it’s busy and a more complex workshop you’re going to have a harder time keeping up if you don’t speak Dutch
• The museum hosts temporary exhibitions, including one about dinosaurs. Keep an eye on their website for updates
