Opening hours

Technopolis is open every day of the year. Or almost. Before you leave for a visit, check whether and until when we are open. Science never stands still, but fortunately our employees do take a rest now and then.

When are we open?

Technopolis is open almost every day of the year, including Sundays and public holidays, from 9.30 to 5 p.m. There are a few exceptions:

  • During the school term we are open on Wednesdays from 12 noon to 5 pm. 
  • We stay open until 6 p.m. during (Flemish) school holidays (all except for the summer holidays). Each holiday at Technopolis starts on a Saturday and ends on a Sunday.

  • On 11 November, we’ll be open from 9.30 am to 5 pm.
  • On 24 and 31 December we are open until 4 pm.

When is Technopolis closed?

  • On Wednesday mornings during the school term
  • 25 December (every year)
  • New Year’s Day (every year)
  • 29 November 2026
  • From 1 up to and including 10 September 2027

On schooldays

On these days, we mainly welcome school groups and there are no shows on the programme. But of course, there’s still plenty to discover in our exhibitions, and we regularly give demos. Good to know: individual visitors can explore AI and Einstein Telescope on Wednesday afternoons, at weekends and during the Flemish school holidays.

Quiet moments

If you want to visit when it’s quiet, consider visiting on a Wednesday 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).

How much time do I reserve for a visit?

How long your visit to Technopolis takes, depends on many factors. Are you bringing children who want to get to the bottom of every experiment? Or are they more selective? Our offer also varies. In the weekend and on holidays we have shows and sometimes also workshops. 

We estimate that a visit lasts 4 hours on average, but it may be that your visit lasts longer or shorter.
