The universe is profoundly fascinating. From the far reaches of space to the depths of the Earth’s oceans, from concrete topics such as electricity to more abstract concepts such as quantum physics, not to mention the exceptional diversity of life and the complexity of the human body, science constantly strives to understand the world around us. With an educational and entertaining aim, in the heart of Bercy Village, in a unique 850 m² space, an immersive multi-science experience opens its doors: Science Experiences. With a concept at the cutting edge of new technologies, it juggles between virtual reality, projections, and immersive techniques. On the program: a scientific journey full of surprises and a family-friendly activity . The museum is open from Wednesday to Sunday outside of school holidays, making it an ideal activity for families!
The Science Experiences trail is open duringthe holidays
In addition to the briefing room, where you will discover the different areas of Science Experiences, there are a total of eight themed rooms along the trail! First, a space odyssey invites you to travel to the far reaches of the universe in virtual reality in a new kind of planetarium, before venturing into a multisensory dive into the mysterious world of the deep sea. After the visit, you can put theory into practice with participatory activities. You can play Jules Verne in the center of the Earth with a volcanic video mapping experience, discover the secrets of the human body, participate in games to learn more about Mother Nature, face 400,000 volts, or even teleport yourself like a quantum particle! All of this is guided by a scientific mediator and is perfect for creating family memories during the holidays.
Want more? You can complete the experience with other activities such as a VR experience that allows you to explore Paris “from a bird’s eye view,” a 360-degree interstellar simulator that lets you improvise as an astronaut and navigate between asteroids, a roller coaster-style flying carpet that flies over the city, and a virtual dive into the depths of the abyss among sea creatures and colorful corals, ideal for entertaining young and old alike.
Science Experiences was conceived, designed, and developed with a scientific committee composed of the greatest minds in the field: David Elbaz, astrophysicist; Bill François, marine life specialist; Aline Peltier, renowned volcanologist; Eléa Héberlé, doctor of molecular biology; Marie-Charlotte Morin, doctor of biology; and Nicolas Treps, researcher in quantum optics. The activities and experiments were developed by the museographers at Âme en Science. What’s more, to optimize access to knowledge, the tour is available in 10 different languages, with levels adapted to all ages and a variety of themes to keep visitors captivated. In short, you no longer have any excuse not to brush up on your science!
