Copernicus Science Centre

Super fun science museum even for adults. Came here with my husband and we spent a good 2 hours going through all the exhibits. Lots of science, math and cool facts, throughout. The museum itself is quite interactive allowing you to play or do the activity that they are intending to teach you. Would high recommend if you have kids or even as adults.

Quite busy during a weekday with soooo many school kids visiting (can't even imagine how it's like over a weekend!) but, undeniably, it's worth it! A thrill for kids and adults alike! You could easily spend there a full day, if only the restaurant was located inside the place... Sadly, you have to step out to get warm food. The cafeteria sells only sandwiches.

The Copernicus Science Centre is an absolute must-visit in Warsaw. Having worked for almost two years in a similar science centre (Technopolis in Mechelen), I can honestly say that this place made a big impression on me. Everything is modern, interactive and designed to make you explore, test and discover. Each area is clear, well-organised and very well maintained, with a wide variety of hands-on exhibits ranging from physics and biology to robotics, technology and optics. The atmosphere is lively and inspiring without ever feeling chaotic. The staff is friendly, helpful and clearly proud of what they do. The location by the Vistula River adds an extra touch to the whole experience. We truly enjoyed our visit — so much that we can confidently say: 👉 The Copernicus Science Centre is even better than Technopolis.

A very high-budget project, and a good one. One of my favorite places I visited in Warsaw, you can't miss it if you're here. Very interactive. I was there for around 3 hours and it wasn't enough to see everything. The time flew by. I could spend the whole day in here. I wasn't bored for a second. Absolutely incredible!

I recently visited the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw, and it was an amazing experience. The place is full of interactive and educational exhibits that are fun for both children and adults. I especially enjoyed the section with reptiles, insects, and amphibians — it was fascinating! Overall, I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Warsaw

The museum is interesting and worth spending several hours. The only bad thing was, that it was really overcrowded with school classes when we went there. We came particularly on a week day in the morning, just to find a terribly overfilled museum. it became better only in the afternoon. It would have been really better if they admitted less classes at the same time.

The Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw is hands down one of the most impressive, modern, and engaging science museums in Europe. It’s a place where learning feels like an adventure, and where science becomes not just something you observe — but something you do. Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or even on your own, it offers a truly unique and interactive experience for all ages. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a futuristic, open space filled with light, movement, and energy. The entire centre is designed to awaken curiosity. Rather than glass cases and plaques, you’ll find over 450 hands-on exhibits that invite you to touch, experiment, build, break, race, question, and discover. This isn’t a place where you’re told how science works — it’s a place where you’re encouraged to figure it out for yourself. There are several thematic zones, including one focused on motion and mechanics, another on human perception, one dedicated to light and optics, and even an area exploring the roots of civilization. Each zone is packed with clever, well-thought-out installations. One moment you’re lifting yourself with pulleys, the next you’re conducting a sound wave experiment or walking through a tunnel of mirrors. Everything is bilingual — in Polish and English — which makes it very tourist-friendly. Families with young children will especially appreciate “Buzzz!”, a separate area just for toddlers and younger kids, where they can explore at their own pace in a safe and stimulating environment. For teenagers and adults, the “Re:Generation Zone” offers a deeper dive into artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and human behavior. One of the major highlights is the Planetarium “The Heavens of Copernicus”, located in a dome-shaped building next to the main centre. The shows there are visually stunning and informative, covering topics like the solar system, the Big Bang, and space exploration. English headphones are available, and the seats are incredibly comfortable — perfect for a moment of wonder and relaxation. There’s also the High Voltage Theatre, where you can see dramatic Tesla coil demonstrations and lightning shows — thrilling for kids and grownups alike. And the Robotic Theatre, where lifelike humanoid robots act out short plays, is something you won’t find anywhere else. On weekends, older children and teenagers can take part in science labs (biology, chemistry, robotics, and physics), which are included in the ticket price. These small group workshops allow participants to carry out real experiments under supervision — a brilliant initiative that adds even more value to the visit. The architecture and location are also worth noting. The centre sits right along the Vistula River and offers access to a rooftop garden with stunning views over Warsaw and the riverbanks. It’s a beautiful, green space that offers a moment of quiet after the buzz of the exhibitions below. As for the practical side: tickets are reasonably priced for what you get, but booking online in advance is essential, especially during weekends and school holidays. It can get very crowded, and entry slots sell out fast. The café on site offers a good range of snacks and meals, though seating can be limited during peak hours. There are lockers, a gift shop, and very clean facilities. What could be improved? During busy times, the centre does feel overcrowded. Some exhibits get worn down from overuse and could benefit from more regular maintenance. Also, while most staff are helpful, not everyone speaks fluent English, which might make asking for help a little trickier for international visitors.
