“It is forbidden not to touch” That’s the Exploradôme’s motto. Right here in Vitry-sur-Seine you’ll find this incredible hands-on science museum.
The Exploradôme isn’t just a museum it’s an adventure. It’s a place where learning becomes a game. For nearly twenty years the Savoir Apprendre association has run this interactive space. It used to be located in the Jardin d’Acclimatation in Paris. Now it thrives in this lively eastern Parisian suburb.
Imagine a place where you can create your own clouds. You can even try to detach your shadow from the wall. There are around sixty amazing scientific experiments. They’re designed to surprise and amuse. You’ll test illusions. You’ll learn about shadows and weather. The Exploradôme offers a permanent exhibition covering 1000 square meters.
Children love the vertical wind tunnel. They can launch mini parachutes or cork stoppers. They learn about climate change and how human activity affects it. There’s even a question space where kids write down their thoughts about a warmer world. Scientists answer their questions later.
The Exploradôme also has a special temporary exhibit. The one on air was particularly popular. Kids smelled plastic vials filled with scents like “burnt” and “sea”. They even tried an air-powered catapult. It’s a fun way to learn about something as vital as air. The exhibits change regularly. Past themes have included air and wood.
The Exploradôme truly encourages exploration. This museum makes learning fun for everyone. It’s perfect for families children and adults. It’s a place where curiosity is celebrated and knowledge is discovered through playful interaction. It’s a testament to the power of interactive learning and a fun day out for all. So explore. Discover. Have fun. That’s the Exploradôme experience.
