Q: I am planning to come to Museon-Omniversum with children. How long does a visit take approximately?
A: It depends of course on what you want to do and the age of the children. A visit to the exhibitions usually takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The films take about 45 minutes. If you also take part in an activity, you can expect a stay of 3-4 hours.
Q: Is Museon-Omniversum fun for children under 4?
A: For the exhibitions, young children need more explanation from parents or supervisors, but usually they still find it very exciting and fascinating.
When visiting the big-screen movie theatre, as a parent or carer you can judge best yourself whether children can handle a big-screen movie. The combination of a huge picture and loud sound effects can be overwhelming for young children.
Children up to 3 years old do not pay admission, provided they sit on your lap during the film.
