Truly a wonderful place, and I made a special trip to return on purpose. The only reason for 4/5 stars is that the staff wasn’t paying close enough attention to many of the complex exhibits that combine physical machines with computer-based UX, so about 20% of some exhibits weren’t working and needed a restart that only an adult would recognize and request. Another drawback is that the food selection isn’t representative of the price point and quality of the facility—mainly sugary pre-made snacks and vending machines, and the only warm food is like French fries and spaghetti bolognese and soup. Anyway the place is awesome but shouldn’t get lazy

We really enjoyed the 3D movie in the planetarium, it was really educational for children, however it was a tad slow and it put one of the kids to sleep (not a bad thing). The main science museum could be great but unfortunately when we visited around 50℅ of the features were either closed (and labeled out of order) or were damaged. The damaged/broken features just left the kids confused as to what it should be trying to show them, or what they were doing wrong. The canteen was basic but sufficient. There was a reasonable choice of sandwiches and soft drinks. If the queue got too bad there are also vending machines. The staff were friendly although there was little interaction beyond the reception and the canteen. We are thinking of coming back next year to give them another chance as this place has great potential.

Came here with girlfriend, both being 20-25. We were inside for about 3h feeling like 10y old kids all the time. So many fun and interesting interactive experiments. It looks like they were made by people who really know didactic physics. About 10-20% of stuff was broken or didn't work but this is expected due to large amount of kids around and experiments being unprotected for use. The place is really big and there is a planetarium building. I suggest coming in groups of max 4 if you want to experience things together and not crowd the experiments too much. Would advice more english text though.

We made a special trip on our way back from a ski holiday. It was worth it - the place entertained us and our nine year old child for hours. There is ample English explanations on the larger exhibits but not everywhere. If there isn’t, a QR code allows you to download a translation on your phone. The cafeteria and gift shop are bit underwhelming but there is free WiFi and a 3D theater. Overall a great science museum for a day trip.

A very interesting entertainment and educational center for spending time with children of all ages, even adults will be interested. Everything for learning about physics, cinema and technology in an interesting format, many playgrounds. The ticket price includes a visit to the planetarium programs. There is a cafe, recreation areas, and luggage storage. Highly recommended)

Da ich es mir genau so vor Anreise gewünscht hätte: eine ausführliche Bewertung für die Deutschen Gäste :) Die Anfahrt ist absolut problemlos, direkt vor dem Eingang gibt es mehr als genügend Parkplätze (Die Parktickets können problemlos beim Ticketkauf fürs Techmania mit deutscher Bankkarte bezahlt werden). Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich & wir konnten uns problemlos auf Englisch verständigen. Die Tickets kosten p.P. 11€ & können ebenfalls problemlos mit Karte gezahlt werden. Die Toiletten sind sauber, es gibt einen Wickelraum & alles ist barrierefrei erreichbar! Wir waren BEGEISTERT!!!! Wir waren mit Baby etwa 6 Stunden hier und haben uns kein bisschen gelangweilt! Haben unseren eigenen Film gedreht, das Wetter moderiert und ganz ganz viel ausprobiert. Wirklich super spannend nicht nur für Kids! Es gibt auch Getränke, Schließfächer & ein kleines Restaurant. Wir kommen definitiv wieder und für den Preis ein absolutes MUSS wenn man mal in der Gegend ist.
