Very complete, interactive and fun science center. Plan a full Day to truly enjoy the exhibits. There is so much to do, from experimenting with physics concepts, water movements, exploring the human body, discovering the True North and even testing inventions at the Fabrik. Bring a lunch (onsite option of a Van Houtte cafe). Mini Mundo for Little kids is well designed, but was overran by older kid...

Happened to visit during a school field trip — three full school buses, so it was quite crowded! The museum has a large space with lots of fun science experiments to explore. Mini Mondo is great for little kids, with pretend stores and hands-on play. A wonderful place for children to learn and burn off some energy!
