Unbelievable, yet true! An unforgettable experience, only two minutes away from the Grand Place. Using light, sound, smell and touch, come and discover 80 exciting and interactive hands-on experiments, based on the themes of entertaining physics, illusions and the five senses. The experiments are even more surprising that they use very simple tools from our daily life. Definitely worth a visit. Right in the center of Brussels, just a two minutes walk away from the Grand Place, in a surprising and magic underground area, between the tramways, underneath, and the street, above.
Fantastic Scientastic! Among our most popular experiments you are going to:

  1. Fly like a bird with our special miror,
  2. Sit down like a fakir, does it hurt?
  3. Have your picture taken in an impossible "Esher type" box,
  4. Wisper secrets to your friend using satelite dishes,
  5. Try to recognize smells and discover the difference between the smell of the orange flower and the orange peel,
  6. Look at the mask that seems to follow each one of your moves,
  7. Compose the color of your choice with only 3 lights,
  8. Watch our astonishing hologram,
  9. Get a magic stamp on your hand and see it appear under the black light,
  10. See how the same picture can show the moon or the sun,
  11. Play with your shadows that stays on the wall as you move away,

Children and adults won't believe their senses. Don't be surprised by the look of the museum. We purposedly choose a colorful and simple decoration to avoid giving to the visiors the impression that science is for the experts only. Everyone can experiment and a lot can be done with simple daily life tools. The adults without children that are not convinced can ask to see our first illusion for free and, on the basis of that test, decide whether they want to visit our museum.

Scientastic is located in the tram station "Bourse", level -1, underground, boulevard Anspach, 1000 Brussels.
