Grandparents & grandchildren themed weekend

Free entry for one grandchild per grandparent!
We’re sure you love having fun with your grandchildren… But you’re probably less keen on the way your whole house gets wrecked in the process! So instead, on Saturday 28 or Sunday 29 September come with your grandchildren to Technopolis, the place where curiosity knows no bounds and you can – no, must – give everything a try.

What’s more, Technopolis has some treats in store for you! One grandchild per grandparent gets free entry, plus we’ll be providing some fun extras for all grandparents and grandchildren.

Come and explore together

Bring your dearest grandkids along and discover the wonderful world of science and technology. From making crazy faces together with a robot to taking a nap on a bed of nails or tackling our climbing wall, this is an outing you’ll never forget.

Together on a key ring

Going on an outing also means creating memories together. Pose for the camera, then have your photo immortalised by laser cutter on a key ring. You can take the souvenir home for free.

Say woooooow

You’re not supposed to play with fire, right? Well, just this once, it’s okay! Light your hands on fire together on this special occasion. And don’t panic – we’ll make sure you get to return your grandchildren to their parents in one piece.

Not to be missed on any account during the themed weekend: a spectacular show about a DIY moon landing, a massive chain reaction and live demonstrations where we set hair on end with electricity and make clouds.

Our programme

Yummy food just like granny’s

How about treating your grandchildren to a nice hot meal? If you do, we’ll provide a free glass of chocolate mousse just so they feel properly full. And though we say it ourselves, it’s almost as good as when granny makes it! We have an extra cosy spot for you in the restaurant.

Quick summary

Our themed weekend for grandparents and grandchildren takes place on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 September 2024.
For each grandparent, 1 grandchild (aged 4 to 18 yrs) gets free entry. Tickets are available both online and at the ticket office on the day. Your tickets are valid for one day. This action cannot be combined with other actions.
The extra's are included in the price of your ticket(s). Booking in advance isn’t necessary.
From 2 September until just before the Christmas holidays, the Children’s Science Centre, our separate area for children aged 4 to 8, will be closed. Children are also welcome in the other exhibitions, though. Bear in mind that they were developed for children aged 8 years or older.
