Science Pavilion UZH

Great place and it's Free to the public , great campus of University of ZURICH

We went there during the museums night and found little of interest: superconductor demo would only be run two hours later (11pm), too late for my 5y.o. son to stick around. There are a couple of interactive installations, but fairly primitive ones. Video screens have the German language option, but it only works on some videos, others are English-only and volume is very low so it's hard to hear anything at all.

Tolles kleines feines gratis museum. Wir hatten einen sehr flotten ( schlauen) jungen mann namens johannes, er nahm sich wircklich sehr sehr viel zeit für üs 7köpfige familie. Erklährte alles sehr ausführlich und das so gut das es sogar die kleinsten verstanden. Anbei kahm sogar noch eine super gesprächzeit bei raus. Danke !! Den besuch vergisst keiner von uns so schnell, wir hoffen das am mittwoch wircklich nichts dazwichen kommt und wir zum experiment kommen können. Lg sabrina /nathan/ kids

The exploratorium has three museums in one place - there is a section dedicated to science, botany and anthropology. The place is quite modern and features information about ongoing research at the University of Zürich. And best of all, the admission is free of charge.

A terrific—and free—museum. It tells the story of our species and its place in history, going into great detail about the similarities and evolution of our common descendants.

I especially enjoyed learning about neanderthals and dispelling several myths.

The science exploratorium is in the same area. It does a great job explaining how magnets work, where superconductors come into play, and how it all comes together in the CMS and other groundbreaking research being done right here in Switzerland.
