We have discovered THE novelty from Lyon that will take you on a journey through science. Science Experiments has just opened its doors in Lyon, and we have tested for you this unique concept which combines discovery and entertainment. Our verdict? A stunning experience that is definitely worth the detour!
A scientific bubble in the heart of Lyon
Head to the 2nd arrondissement, rue Thomassin, where this atypical place is hidden. From the moment you enter, you forget the outside world to immerse yourself in a totally captivating immersive universe. After 5 years of success in Paris, Science Experiments moved to Lyon, and it was really expected.
A breathtaking space journey
First stop: space! We start in style with a immersion in the international space stationalso called ISS. A little surprising info: it is only 400 kilometers above our heads, and we can even see it with the naked eye in the night sky. On site, you can discover your weight on different planets (I promise, you feel lighter on the Moon). For those aged over 10, a virtual reality headset allows them to explore the solar system, while younger children enjoy an equally fascinating large format projection.
From the abyss to the volcanoes: the exploration continues
The rest of the journey plunges us into the ocean depths. The atmosphere changes completely, we are faced with the fascinating creatures of the abyss. The journey continues at the center of the Earth. Between volcanoes and tectonic movements, the projections are spectacular and truly immersive.
Sensory exploration
The most that won us over? The space dedicated to the human brain, a 100% Lyon exclusive.
Three awesome workshops are offered:
– a fakir rug for a unique sensory experience,
– the collaborative creation of a work of psychic art
– a recreation of the famous game “LOL, who laughs comes out” – a really funny moment!
Lab-style finale
To finish, room for scientific experiments. Forget memories of sometimes austere chemistry classes: here, it’s a real educational show. Carbon dioxide, overflowing foam, mysterious smoke, static electricity… all explained by passionate and super educational mediators. We can handle, touch.
The strong points that make the difference
- Audio guides available in 10 languages.
- Small groups of 15 people maximum.
- Presence of mediators in each room.
- A well-designed 750 m² course.
- A multi-sensory experience (even with different scents depending on the room!)
We completely validate! It’s a perfect outing for all audiences, whether for family time, an activity with friends, an original cultural discovery or even an enriching school outing.
Practical information
Sciences Experiments, 32 rue Thomassin, 69002 Lyon
Cordeliers metro (line A)
⏰ Wednesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (every day during school holidays)
♿ Accessible to PRMs
Ticketing. Count on €15 per person with the family pass (2 adults + 2 children), €22 at full price, and €14 for children under 12 years old.
If you want to test virtual reality on dynamic seats, plan on spending €6 more.
Our advice: ideal from 5-6 years old for the spectacular side, but older children (primary, middle and high school) will really be able to enjoy the in-depth scientific content. A great way to learn while having fun.
We can’t wait to get your feedback on this new Lyon experience which promises great discoveries!

How might the “multi-sensory experiences” offered at “Sciences Experiences” cater to different learning styles?
This fantastic text describes a new science attraction in Lyon called “Sciences Experiences”. It’s clear, well-organized, and includes all the essential information a reader would need to know about this exhibit.
Here are some open-ended questions that encourage discussion and different viewpoints based on the text:
**About the Exhibit Itself:**
* What aspects of “Sciences Experiences” appeal to you the most? Why?
* How does incorporating “multi-sensory experiences” (like different scents) enhance the learning process?
* Do you think a “lab-style finale” is a good way to engage visitors of all ages? Why or why not?
* If you could add another interactive element to this exhibit, what would it be and why?
**Impact and Value:**
* The author mentions the exhibit being “perfect for all audiences.” Do you agree? Who do you think would benefit most from visiting “Sciences Experiences”?
* What is the value of having interactive science exhibits like this in cities? How do they contribute to education and community engagement?
**Comparison and Contrast:**
* How does “Sciences Experiences” compare to other science museums or exhibits you’ve visited? What are the similarities and differences?
**Beyond the Text:**
* How could “Sciences Experiences” be adapted for visitors with different abilities or learning styles?
* What kind of impact do you think this type of exhibit can have on inspiring young people to pursue careers in science?
**Critical Thinking:**
* While the article is positive, are there any potential downsides to a highly interactive, multi-sensory exhibit? (Think of things like crowding, noise levels, accessibility for certain groups, etc.)
These questions encourage readers to think critically about the exhibit, engage with the information presented, and potentially spark further exploration of science and education.
