Let's
reverse the flow of time and remind ourselves of how scientific discovery
brought to live all the technologies and devices we now cannot do
without. We will explore the basic principles of TV, radio, electronics
and many others. We will have something exciting for all ages and
knowledge levels! All the visitors are invited to travel back in time in
a fun and safe way!

 Want to try your
hands on physics experiments?
Follow the
timeline of great scientific discoveries and inventions just by strolling
down the Small Hall corridor!
Go back in time
to rediscover the pivotal moments in the history of science and technology, and see
how these discoveries will define our future! Learn about the evolution of an atomic model,
explore different historical communication methods and see why an invention of transistor was so critical,
Also make sure to visit our laser maze and see if you can pass it without triggering any alarms!
And as a reward take a ride on a hovercraft!
