Best science experience for the whole family!!!

Came with 2 grandchildren 6 and 9. 9 year old in a wheel chair and limited mobility in her arms. Disabled toilet broken. Many exhibits too high for her to touch. Many things out of order. Disappointed Lunch was awful. Child's sandwich cheap margarine and rubber cheese.

Che bellissima esperienza! Il team è stato bravissimo, lo staff ci ha accompagnati in un vero viaggio nel tempo, a partire dal big bang fino alla preistoria e oltre. Ci sono spettacoli 3 D, sala di ghiaccio vero con iceberg, proiezioni, sale interattive e pietre lunari. Nella sala Planétarium abbiamo assistito ad uno spettacolo spiegato da una ragazza molto talentuosa, ci ha fatto vedere le stelle, spiegato le costellazioni e con lei abbiamo esplorato il progetto Verus, tutto con sottofondo musicale molto intenso. Consiglio l'esperienza a chi ha una buona conoscenza della lingua inglese e soprattutto ai bambini Abbiamo anche pranzato lì, molto economico e scelta a buffet
