It is not just another museum! It’s a space where science, quite literally, comes alive before your eyes, and where everyone, regardless of age, can feel like a real explorer. We visited the extraordinary Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia and we’re sure you’ll love it here too. Get ready for a journey full of experiments and impressions that will make science a fascinating adventure. This science centre in Gdynia, located on Zwycięstwa Avenue, is, it is safe to say, a real pearl that attracts visitors not only from the Tri-City but also from all over Poland.

What awaits you at Experiment?

When you cross the threshold of the Experyment Science Centre, you literally enter a world where curiosity becomes the main driving force and experimentation is, quite simply, the key to cognition. This place did not come into being by accident; it was created with a clear purpose – to inspire and prove that the reality around us is an endless source of fascinating phenomena just waiting to be discovered. And, quite frankly, be prepared for your current perception of science to … well, it could change really dramatically here!

Attractions for the whole family: from the youngest to the adults.

Experyment in Gdynia really knows how to appeal to everyone. It doesn’t matter whether you come with a few years old kids, rebellious teenagers or simply are adults and curious about the world yourself – I guarantee you will find something here for yourself. The entire exhibitions are designed to engage visitors of different ages, subtly adjusting the level of interaction and complexity of the issues presented. The question often arises, from how old is Experyment suitable? It is difficult to give a clear answer, as the attractions are varied, but children as young as a few years old will find something for themselves here, and teenagers and adults will be equally delighted. But most importantly, it is simply the perfect place for a family outing, as it provides entertainment and, equally valuable, knowledge for both children and, often overlooked, their parents. Who would have thought that science could be so engaging for everyone?

Interactive exhibits: learning through play and experience? Yes, it is possible!

What is really at the heart of the Experyment Science Centre? Well, it’s all those amazing interactive exhibits! Forget about looking at anything through glass. At Experyment the rules are simple: you touch, twist, push, build, test! Only in this way, through direct action and personal experience, does science cease to be an abstraction and, importantly, really become memorable. Each and every exhibit, literally each and every exhibit, is an open invitation to experiment and to “poke around” the laws that govern our world yourself. It’s also the perfect backdrop for souvenir photos! And, I must admit, it is thanks to this approach that the Experymentarium Science Centre becomes, without a doubt, a unique point on the educational map of Poland. (I remember how, with similar installations, once, as a child, I was completely absorbed in trying to build a stable structure – this teaches more than hours of lessons!)

Exhibition and exhibit areas: ready for a journey through the fascinating world of science?

Inside the Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia you will come across several thematically organised zones. Each, you must know, is devoted to a completely different, fascinating field of science. As you walk through them, you feel as if you are on a kind of voyage that vividly reveals the diversity and, often underestimated, complexity of the world around us – from the basic forces that govern movement, through all those extraordinary chemical reactions, to the, unbelievable, secrets of living organisms. (Don’t expect boring lectures though, it’s all given in a very accessible form!).

Secrets of physics: discover the laws of nature… literally in practice.

By traversing this area, you will feel how they work, all of them, the laws of physics, and that too on your own skin! Do you have any idea how leverage works? Or are you tempted to test your strength and try to lift a car (yes, it is possible!)? Here you will find out that physics is not just about boring textbook formulae, but is something very real and present in every moment of our lives. Here you can, for example, experience gravity, investigate acoustic phenomena and even explore the intriguing secrets of optics. This is, without a doubt, the perfect opportunity to discover once and for all how fascinating the secrets of physics can be. In the words of a friend of mine, a former teacher: “Nothing can replace touching a phenomenon with your own hands!”.

Chemistry secrets: experiments that will surprise… and even amuse!

Do you still only associate chemistry with, let’s face it, boring school lessons? If so, believe me, nothing could be further from the truth! At Experiment, this discipline is presented in a way that can both surprise and genuinely entertain. Of course, no-one is asking you to carry out complicated laboratory reactions (although that could be interesting!), but you will see with your own eyes demonstrations and installations which show the unusual properties of matter and intriguing chemical processes in an accessible, even spectacular form. And it is here, in this zone, that experiments turn into a real spectacle and all those mysteries of chemistry, suddenly, cease to be… mysteries.

Biology and nature: immerse yourself in the fascinating world of organisms.

How about diving into the fascinating world of biology and learning more about the natural world around us, which is so often underestimated? After all, how does the human body really work? Or, to put it another way, have you ever wondered how on earth plants communicate? Let alone the world as seen under a microscope! This area allows you to look at living organisms from, you could say, a whole new perspective. There are models, great interactive simulations, and a mass of curiosities that perfectly demonstrate all the complexity and, undeniably, the beauty of the biological world. It is, without exaggeration, the perfect place to discover with your own eyes how incredibly fascinating biology is and, all in all, how much we can still learn from nature.

Events and workshops at the Experyment Science Centre

It is worth emphasising that the Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia is far more than just permanent exhibitions. It is a place that, one could say, is teeming with life! Special events, scientific shows and really interesting themed workshops are regularly organised here. So if you are planning a visit, be sure to take a look at their calendar. Seriously, it would be a shame to miss out on something special that just happens to be taking place!

Keep an eye on the calendar: make sure you don’t miss anything!

Before you plan your visit to the Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia, you simply have to look at their calendar. Why is this so important? Because very often there are amazing special shows, inspiring meetings with scientists, and sometimes even whole themed weekends dedicated to specific, sometimes quite niche, fields of science. It’s a great, even unique, opportunity not only to deepen your knowledge, but also to simply take part in something really special. We, frankly, always look at this calendar before, you know, going to Experiment!

Workshops for children and young people: how about developing a passion for science?

The Experyment Science Centre has also thought about the younger (and slightly older) regulars, offering a really wide range of workshops for children and young people. These are not, God forbid, boring lessons! On the contrary, these are dynamic activities where young explorers have the chance to carry out simple experiments on their own, under the watchful eye of experienced educators, of course. Such workshops are probably the best way to develop a real passion for science, and at the same time a great way to stimulate creativity and, just as importantly, logical thinking. Be sure to ask about available dates and, whatever they are offering at the time, topics, when planning your stay.

Activities for adults: and adults… can expand their knowledge too, right?

Well, who ever thought that science is only fun for children? Not at Experiment! Here, without any problem, there are also very interesting activities for adults. I’m talking about lectures, special shows, or such, hmm, workshops, which allow, I must admit, in an accessible and really absorbing way, to broaden knowledge on various, often surprising, subjects. This is probably the best proof that the Experyment Science Centre is really a place for everyone, well, regardless of their age. Or are you looking for an idea for an unforgettable birthday party for your child? The Experyment Science Centre offers the possibility of organising such parties, combining fun with education – a hit!

Experyment Gdynia: why is it even worth coming here?

To be honest, there are really quite a few reasons to visit Experyment in Gdynia. What’s immediately striking is that this place clearly stands out from the typical attractions – it offers much more than just the kind of, you know, passive viewing of an exhibition. Below, we will try to outline some, in our opinion, key arguments that we sincerely hope will convince you to, eventually, plan such a visit.

Unique exhibits and… simply interactive installations.

The truth is that what probably sets the Experymentarium Science Centre apart the most are its absolutely unique exhibits and, of course, its super interactive installations. Seriously, some of them are so imaginative and, interestingly, rarely seen elsewhere, that you just, simply, want to walk up to them and, you know, try them. And it’s what makes science stop being just a theory; it becomes an experience that engages all your senses and, most importantly, allows you to understand even the most complex phenomena in a, well, surprisingly simple way. This is the type of place where literally every installation screams: “Try! Act! Explore!”.

The perfect place for a family outing. Seriously.

OK, let’s be honest – if, like us, you are looking for a way to spend time with your family that is both valuable and, just as importantly, simply full of great fun, then the Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia is, quite simply, a hit. Every member of the family, without exception, will find something for themselves here, I am convinced of it. Experimenting together, discovering and, well, sometimes just laughing at the more surprising installations, is something that incredibly tightens bonds and guarantees lots and lots of positive emotions. It is, without a doubt, the perfect place for a family outing, one, you know, that will not only provide excitement but also stay in the memory for, really, a long time.

Science in practice: experience, experiment… and discover!

Do you want to forget once and for all about all that boring theory that seems to have always been somehow detached from reality? Well, at Experiment you can do just that! Because here science happens, literally, in practice, at your fingertips. You can, physically, experience, experiment to your heart’s content and, perhaps most pleasantly of all, discover everything on your own, without an imposed scheme. This approach, in my opinion, makes the acquisition of knowledge incredibly engaging and, surprisingly, really enjoyable. Sceptics will say it’s just fun, but I don’t believe it; at Experiment, there is simply no question of boredom. Instead, there’s a whole lot of room for, shall we say, experiencing and, by extension, all those little and big discoveries.

Practical information: how do you plan a visit to the Experiment so that it works out great?

And sometimes, you know, there are also some combination tickets available or, well, discounts, so, well, it’s worth looking. (My tip: buy online!).

• Take a look at Experyment’s current opening hours.
• Check the price list carefully and the types of tickets available – there are normal, discounted and family tickets.
• Seriously consider buying your tickets online, it actually saves a lot of time!
• And finally, plan how much time you want to spend there. The optimum sightseeing time is, I can tell you from experience, usually a couple of hours.

How do you even get there? Getting to the Experyment.

Where is the Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia actually located? Well, it is located, importantly, on Zwycięstwa Avenue. The location is, I must say, really convenient in terms of getting there. You can get there both by car and easily by public transport. If you are travelling by car, it is worth finding out in advance about the parking options in the area (this can vary, I warn you!). It is also easy to get there by public transport, as there are bus and, as is typical in Gdynia, trolleybus stops nearby.

Facilities for people with disabilities.

A very important point – the Experyment Science Centre, as they emphasise, strives to be a truly accessible place for everyone. Information regarding, all those, facilities for people with disabilities (I mean, you know, ramps, lifts, specially adapted toilets and so on) should be available, well, preferably on their official website, but you can also always, just call and ask before you visit.
