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.
