It's a fun place to experience science (or at least the fun part of it!) with kids and other family members. You can even enjoy it alone but the fun triples if you have at least someone with you since quite a few of the devices require two or more people to take a certain action at the same time. 95% of each section has clear English instructions but some are only in local language. They have large areas for smaller kids if they don't like to play with the scientific kits (ie small bicycle road with road lights etc) which could entertain them for couple of hours. Overall, it's meant to be more fun than advanced. I've been to CAS (California Academy of Science) and that place is huge and more advanced, but also less like a playground. Here at VIDA you get to jump while learn about cool scientific facts, cycle over a rope to see how balancing works, play with a gyroscope suitcase to see how hard it is to turn it, even jump in a rotating field and try to hit your friend with a ball and experiencing how hard it will be to aim straight. All in the name of science. I truely enjoyed my time here.

Really good place for kids in all ages. My 7, 9 and 13 old kids were busy all 4 hours and would be ready to spend here more time if would not have next plans for Brno exploring. 75% of all objects had descriptions in EN and DE. Unfortunately most of the digital ones were just in CZ. The centre is divided in several parts according to the interests (body, physics, mathematics, electronics, mechanisms, nature and some others). All the objects can be touched, pulled, pushed, tried, experiments can be self repeated. Photo taking is allowed free of charge and I did it a lot to take descriptions for later explanation of school themes. There was also option to watch cinema which we did not use as it was only in CZ. Children playground. Free parking next to the centre. Air conditioning inside the centre. Clean toilets, drinking water was available for free. If we once will come back to Brno, we will certainly visit this centre again as kids will be older, their interest will be changed and they will find a lot of new interesting things. Definitely 5 stars!

It was a ravenous experience. I was there three years ago and there were many more grown-ups. Today, it's booming with children like a kids entertainment centrum. I, too, was there with my small children, nevertheless 😅. We were constantly in motion. They've got an area for smaller children, but it's poorly divided from areas for bigger humans so they are constantly running in, we constantly caused some grouping troubles at dangerous and badly protected attractions, we are sorry. The meal and drink is good here but only sausages in rolls, sandwiches and small water bottles. It's good to have your own. As there are so many attractions, they are sometimes not working. On the other hand, they are often changed for new ones.

A nice place to spend a rainy day with curious children. Sadly, several of the exhibits were closed or broken. As an English speaking visitor, I would have liked more signage in English, not just on a printed out sheet. Beware of the cafeteria. Hard to find worse food in this city. Utterly disgusting. Balls of overcooked rice with a small amount of chicken hidden inside. The worst potato salad the world has seen, swimming in a pool of mayo.

To my six-year-old daughter, VIDA is the coolest. Despite being in one giant room, the exhibits are diverse and interactive. You can make a tornado, test electricity, make paper airplanes, and so much more. The highlight was the art area with every type of supply imaginable. You get to take home the art you create! There’s an outdoor area, a two-level slide, a cafe that sells ham and cheese sandwiches and popsicles.

Great place, we have been there mainly for the show about Newton's laws as it's part of my home schooled daughter's curriculum, but there was definitely much more to se. Btw the show was excellent 😊 I have enjoyed new Coffee exposition. Only the drawback was a restaurant downstairs, where we couldn't have lunch as they had booked two consecutive parties, but I think this place is not a part of Vida Centre.
