phaeno Wolfsburg


Marvel at a six metre high fire tornado, create cloud rings, feel your way across a dark space or lie comfortably on a bed of nails like a fakir: the phaeno in Wolfsburg, Germany is an entertaining day out for all ages. Come and see how more than 350 extraordinary phenomena can arouse your curiosity and reveal the secrets of nature. There is something for everyone in Germany’s one and only experiment centre, whatever your age or level of knowledge. And best of all: visitors have a say in, and full control over, what happens during the tour. There are no stipulated routes through the centre, curiosity leads the way and takes visitors through fascinating themed areas, e.g. energy, mirrors, sight or life. Adults and children can attempt to brave the cold through the power of thought, see infinite reflections of themselves, freeze their own shadow, discover genes, find out what electricity feels like or land gently on their feet like a cat.
