If it is urgent and you cannot reach a staff member right away, you can come to Technopolis and have your already reserved tickets looked up by name at the reception desk, if you can show proof of payment. So don’t cancel your visit!

No. Technopolis has a large free car park around the building. The gates of this car park close in the evening after opening time, so remember not to leave your car here after closing time.

You can do so by using this page.

Yes, during the week of your birthday, you can visit us free of charge. For example, if your birthday falls on a Thursday, you are entitled to one free admission between Monday and Sunday. If your birthday takes place during our annual closure, you can still visit for free between 19 and 17 September.

Add a free ticket to your basket or let us know at reception. On presentation of an identity card in all cases, and only for the birthday boy or girl. We cannot make any exceptions.

Yes, you can.

Show us your annual pass on the day of your visit and we will deduct the discount.

If you still want to make a reservation, contact the partner in question to obtain a discount code. If not everyone you are coming with has a valid season ticket, you will have to place the order twice and pay twice (once for the tickets with the discount code and once for the tickets at normal price).

You will be asked for your season ticket from the partner organisation for verification, so be sure to bring it along.

Reservations are not necessary. Just show your pass together with your identity card at the cashier at Technopolis. You will then receive free admission for yourself and one person of your choice. This benefit is only granted once a year.

Yes, you can. You can find out how to do this in our overview of discounts and cheques.

No, sorry, that is not possible.

As a teacher, you are entitled to a 50% discount upon presentation of your teacher card. We also accept teacher cards issued abroad.

Your Technopolis admission ticket includes a discount code for NMBS/SNCB. With this code, you can get a 40% discount on your train ticket.

An annual pass is valid for one year, starting from the date of purchase. If you are unsure about the validity date of your annual pass, please send an e‑mail to onthaal@​technopolis.​be and we will let you know the exact validity date.

Yes, you can if you buy your annual pass at the cashier at Technopolis. You will find a list of all means of payment under discounts and cheques.

You can order an annual pass online or at the reception desk when you arrive or leave. Good to know:

• When you buy your annual pass at Technopolis, you get to take it home right away. You do not have to bring a photo, we take them on the spot. If you bought a day ticket earlier that day, you will get your day ticket refunded when you buy your annual pass.
• If you buy your annual pass online, you will receive it at your first visit to Technopolis. If you need it earlier, for example because you want to make use of the discount to visit one of our partner parks, you can always ask to collect the annual pass earlier or have them sent to you by post.

Yes, you can. You will find a list of all attractions and discounts under partner discounts.

Yes, because we think everyone deserves a day full of fun scientific discoveries. You will find all information about our facilities in a convenient overview.

Yes, you will find all information about these facilities in a convenient overview.

No, unfortunately pets are not allowed inside Technopolis, not even a small dog in a carrier bag.

Only guide dogs and those for the blind are allowed an exception. They are allowed to enter in support of their owners.

• We recommend visits for families with children aged 4 years or over. Younger children are welcome at all our exhibitions, but bear in mind that with the exception of Wanderhead they are designed for children from the age of 8. Every child is different, of course, and you as a parent are the best judge of what your child will like and find interesting.

• Our family shows (NL) (at weekends and during holiday periods) are ideal for children aged 6 or over, while for the demo De Wolkenmaker (NL) and Het grote doctor Elektro-spektakel (NL) the minimum age is 8 years.
• Our workshops (during holiday periods) are perfect for children aged 6 years or over, but if Mum or Dad lends a hand, younger children can participate too.

On our website we indicate a minimum age for everything on offer at Technopolis. This is a recommendation rather than a strict limit.

No, we do not work with guides. Discovering and exploring everything yourself is the message, but that does not mean you cannot ask questions. Our staff will be happy to help you.

For specific questions, please contact a restaurant employee. You can also send an e‑mail to info@​technopolis.​be before your visit.

Yes, you can, as long as the photos and videos are not used for commercial purposes. For images with commercial purposes, you must submit a request to pers@​technopolis.​be.

We have a list of items found. You can contact us at 015342000 or at onthaal@​technopolis.​be to inquire about an item.

After making an appointment, it can be picked up at Technopolis or sent to you, if you are willing to pay the shipping costs. If your missing item is not on our list, we will add it to our list along with your contact details.

On Wednesdays and during weekends when the weather is nice. You can also come and experiment here in peace and quiet on school days from 15.00 to 17.00 (closing time).

How long a visit to Technopolis lasts depends on many factors. Are you taking children who want to get to the bottom of every experiment? Or are they more selective? Our offer also varies. In weekends and during holidays we organise shows and sometimes workshops. We estimate that a visit lasts 5 hours on average, but it may be that your visit lasts longer or shorter.

Explanations of all our interactive exhibits are provided in Dutch, French and English. We will also do our best to guide French- and English-speakers during our workshops (during school holidays). For practical reasons, our demos and shows are only given in Dutch.

We do our best to keep all public areas as cool as possible. There is limited air conditioning in the ON/OFF exhibition, the area in and around the circus where the ​‘Het grote doctor Elektro’ show takes place and in the Wanderhead preschoolers’ zone. In other areas we use a ventilation system. We keep all doors and gates closed where possible. Despite all our efforts, the heat may still get in on very hot summer days.

Feel free to book a birthday party for the two of them, but only one of them gets a free meal and free admission. You have to pay the same for the other one as for the other guests. In practice, the two children celebrating their birthdays won’t notice any difference.
