Technorama

Just east of Zurich near the town of Winterthur is Switzerland’s only Science Center Technorama. Frida and I went with some friends today to check it out. We went late which was a shame because we only had an hour to look around and this place has enough in it to make a full day of science fun. In the basement there at toy trains which all the kids really liked a lot. On the ground floor there were cool mechanics exhibits. Although Frida is far to young to understand the scientific concepts these exhibits demonstrate, she still thinks watching things move is cool. A lot of the exhibits have levers and buttons to push and pull which is really fun for preschoolers. On the second floor there are optics exhibits and wood machines (and much more but that is as far as we got). The wood machines are especially interesting for young children. They are made by Pierre Andres. Well Frida and I will definitely return to explore more.
