Continium discovery center in Kerkrade stands for an educational day out. There is plenty to experience in this scientific and technical museum for children. The changing range of activities and the interactive exhibitions allow kids to discover the world around them in a playful way.
Services
In the Explore Zone you can discover the wonderful world of science and technology. From the coal mines of the past to the supermarket of the future. In the Experiment Zone you can experiment at various stations yourself, and in the Tinkerlab and the Science Labs you can tinker together all kinds of constructions and (technical) installations yourself.
Did you think that the smartphone held no more secrets for you? In the temporary expo SMARTphone! – on display until 4 September 2016 – you will discover exactly how your smartphone works. From the battery to the radio signal. And finally, there is the Hall of Fame, where all the classics of Continium are stored.
Target audience
Of course, you are never too young (or too old) to discover, but in our opinion the Continium discovery center is most interesting for upper primary school and secondary school students.
