phæno Wolfsburg: Discovering the World

 
Germany's unique Experimental Landscape embedded in spectacular architecture by Zaha Hadid opens its doors

 
On an activity area covering over 9,000 square metres, phæno's guests have a host of multifarious opportunities to discover and explore the thrilling world of these phenomena. 250 interactive Experimental Stations form the centre of attraction, which invite visitors to try things out for themselves and follow their own research inclinations. The fascinating themes of natural science and technology can also be approached in phæno through three Visitor Laboratories, the Science Theatre (from early 2006 onwards), the Show Crater, or the Ideas Forum. phæno also houses two restaurants, a coffee bar and a room for special events on three levels. The "Supermarket of Knowledge" – the phæno shop – provides a shopping experience of the special kind. phæno’s is one-of-a-kind – Zaha Hadid has created what must be the largest accessible sculpture in Germany.

 
Experimentation in phæno means, for example: marvelling at the world's largest fire tornado, a five-metre-high air vortex revealed by fire, setting a sphere in motion alone through relaxation, floating on a flying carpet, making sounds visible, listening to an enthralling acoustic collage of micro-sounds, simulating the movement of waves, performing a crash test with one's own body, watching the creation of a geyser, producing ice at a temperature of 4°C without the addition of cooling, generating sounds with heat, constructing cantilever bridges and letting them cave in again, simulating a traffic jam, testing one's own reaction speed, analysing DNA, experiencing the weightlessness of objects, generating electricity for everyday appliances through muscle power, or fixing one's own shadow to a wall.

 
Opening times
Tuesday – Sunday and public holidays: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
