Humidity too high?

When the air humidity is too high, the Van de Graaff generator does not work optimally. In that case, we offer ​‘De Wolkenmaker’.

On schooldays

On schooldays, we mainly receive students. On these days all expos and zones are open and you get to witness amazing science demonstrations and Het grote doctor Elektro-spektakel at regular intervals. However you cannot attend any family shows in our auditorium.

Arrive in time for our shows

There’s room for 150 visitors in our auditorium and 100 in our circus. Unfortunately that’s not enough on very busy days. We do our best to present our shows as many times as possible.

Quiet moments

If you want to visit when it’s quiet, consider visiting on a Wednesday afternoon or during weekends when the weather is nice. It is also usually very quiet on school days from 3 to 5 p.m. (closing time).

Programme subject to change

We do our best to guarantee the programme for the day, but very occasionally it may change. Except on school days, you will always be given the final programme at the counter.
