Such a great and modern museum! The huge aquariums with colorful fish are really impressive, and there are so many fun interactive science activities to explore. A perfect place for both kids and adults. And the entrance is only €8 – totally worth it!

Very interactive with a well done balance between learning/information, rainforest and activities. Suitable to all ages and group sizes, kept us entertained for few hours so well worth the tickets. Wasn't as expensive as zoo but much more enjoyable.

Just amazing. Both for me and my 3yo kid. A lot of activities you could be part of, control, create, move, hit, watch. It’s realle full day activity and day will be not enough. Special love for forest. It feels like you're in another reality after all of those scientific experiments on the main hall. This place is must to be visited especially if you have kids.
