Accessibility and facilities

Everyone deserves a fun day filled with new scientific discoveries. You can therefore depend on these facilities during your visit.

Free parking plus charging stations

  • At Technopolis you will find a free car park with plenty of space for both cars and coaches.
  • Our car park has four charging stations. These work with a Nexxtmove subscription from Powerdale or with a QR code (banking apps, Bancontact or Payconiq).
  • You can park your bicycle in our free covered (unsupervised) bike storage area.

Especially for babies

  • On the ground and lower floors, you will find a baby changing station in the sanitary areas, complete with a changing cushion, nappy bin and basin with a shower head. This zone is also ideal for breastfeeding mums who wish to express milk, as the door can be locked and an electrical socket is provided.
  • The restaurant has a microwave in which you may warm up baby food.

Pushchairs and wheelchairs

  • Technopolis is easily accessible with a wheelchair or pushchair. Thanks to a slope, it is easy to move between the upper and lower floors and you can use a lift upon request.
  • There is plenty of room to manoeuvre throughout our exhibition area. More difficult access is only encountered in our auditorium, where shows take place, due to the presence of stepped seating (excluding the front row).

Stimulus basket

We provide a stimulus basket specially for children and adults who are sensitive to stimuli. It contains items such as sunglasses, gloves and fidget toys to block out unwanted stimuli. If you need these during your visit, just ask at reception.
