In my opinion it is ridiculous what is happening there. Clients are being asked to queue for 4 hours or more because the management doesn't care!!! In the end you can finish not going inside because... there's too many people. It's unbelieveable - I have never seen anything like that and I am travelling a lot through the world. Shame... More

Place is foreigner-friendly. A lot of experiments and equipments have both Polish and English. Helpful and courteous staff Experiments and equipments are not just for kids but also for teens and adults. Long-queue esp in the morning. Better to have an annual pass esp if you are from Warsaw

Wonderful new building, lots of interactive exhibits. Nothing new if you've been to another large science center somewhere else, but in any case a great place for kids.

From one point great place to learn about science and technology. From the other - a lot of people so difficult to enjoy attractions (school groups), unfortunately relatively many expositions broken.

Now open for one year, the Copernicus Science Center, is a wonderful center for exploring science wither you are a child or adult. All exhibits are well identified in Polish and English and staff all speak good English. Only problem is the popularity and there are often long queues to enter, special daily shows fill up quickly as does the... More

as science centres go, this is one of the best. New building, easy to move around, many impressive presentations, lots of activities, anything from sex life to physical experiments. Extremely popular with young people, which is a good sign!

Very enjoyable way to take a break from sightseeing and get involved in the exhibits. Very hands-on, interactive. Good for teens and adults. But you need either Polish are good English, as many exhibits require reading to understand what to do.

We spent hours in this Science Center. Very impressive display for children and adults. Everything has english. It is a great way to spend an inclement weather day. Easy access and you can also visit the Planetarium and watch imax space movies (you can borrow earphones for English).

Everyone will love it. My 3 years old one had a lot of fun trying ti blow the biggest bubbles in the world. Or being closed inside the bubble. My teens loved the experiments (Re-generacja - great choice). Go there and try to be a scientist for a while. It is worth it!
