The focus is decidedly on real science and contact with real scientists, so each subject area has one or more small amphitheaters. There are more than 60 live shows daily.

The scientists carry out experiments in front of the public and then explain the phenomena they have seen and answer any questions, thus making science accessible.

There is also a planetarium where you can discover the world of the planets and night sky.
