Jessica Brigance
★★★★★a year agoBought tickets online the same day and was able to just walk-in. Great visit, not overcrowded and the parking lot on site made it even better. We were able to get hands on experience with everything my little one wanted. She was so excited to try everything even repeat many of the experiments. As an avid science lover myself this was a wonderful experience. The staff even demonstrated some of the experiments if the child needed assistance. The cafeteria was clean and the staff was very friendly. I can’t wait to come visit again during the shows on a Friday.

★★★★★5 months agoExperiminta ScienceCenter is a fantastic interactive museum in Frankfurt, especially if you enjoy hands-on science. Unlike traditional museums, almost every exhibit invites you to touch, test, and experiment with physics, mathematics, and perception. The experiments are fun and engaging, making complex scientific ideas easy to understand for both children and adults. It’s a great place for families, but curious adults will enjoy it just as much. Expect to spend a couple of hours exploring the different floors. If you like interactive learning and playful science, Experiminta is definitely worth visiting. 🔬✨
