Copernicus Science Centre

Warsaw

Museums

Due to the centre's popularity it is advised to contact the museum prior to your visit to check ticket availability.

Back in the 1990s, Polish Radio began organizing outdoor science and culture themed picnic events, where families could come and try fun hands-on experiments that demonstrated the laws of the universe in simple, tangible terms. The popularity of these eventually grew into a permanent complex of scientific displays, opened in 2010 and aiming to get absolutely everyone enthusiastic about science.

The ultra-modern, steel-and-glass Copernicus Science Centre stands on the banks of the Vistula, near the city centre. It contains over 400 interactive exhibits where visitors are invited to work out the laws of science for themselves through experiments and interactive displays. Upon entry, visitors are invited to interact with a talking robot and observe the rotation of the planet with an illustrative bell-ringing pendulum, before being set loose over five main experimentation areas: Roots of Civilization, Humans and the Environment, Light Zone, On the Move and Buzz, a special area for young children. You can see a real flying carpet, become a crime detective, explore the scientific wonders of your own body, compare yourself to different animals, build bridges, conduct a robotic excavation, fly a spaceship, press buttons, take quizzes, race, jump, photograph, draw, and transform the physical universe before your very eyes.

The Copernicus Science Centre is designed not only to hold these permanent exhibitions, but also to house laboratories, workshops, a conference centre, cafés and restaurants, a rooftop garden, an amphitheatre, an outdoor Discovery Park with open-air experiment stations, an outdoor art gallery, and a multimedia planetarium.

The centre's mission is to inspire visitors to explore the world around them with curiosity and an open mind. Many people see it as a hopeful symbol of Warsaw's future.
