It was great, unique experience. They really know a lot about shells and the ticket includes interesting lectures about the museum. Our seven years old son has constantly asked questions and he’s got answer to each one of them. We have learn a lot. We recommend!

4.5 based on 87 reviews
Hisa eksperimentov (The House of experiments) is a "hands-on" Science Centre with its own personality - using humour, illustrations and skilled and pleasant explainers.

This museum is extraordinary, by square foot, probably the best in the world. I am a scientist myself and a fan of visiting science museums wherever I go, so I have been in dozens of them. This museum is fairly small, the size of a large house with 5-6 rooms. Nonetheless, it is packed with dozens of interactive experiments. In a family trip to Ljubjana, I figured out that it was better for my 3 yrs old daughter to be indoors that wondering around the city with my extended family, so we headed to the House of Experiments. I was glad they lent me a 50 pages booklet in English with the explanation of most of the experiments and then we spent 3-4 hrs having fun playing with the displays. My daughter spent an hour on their erosion display: a simple acrylic box full of sand, a water pump to bring the water to the top and a plastic shovel to bring the sand to the top once the water eroded it to the bottom. Simple, but beautiful. Just one example of the many beautiful displays that they have. Congratulations to the creators! In an unassuming manner, you excel at teaching science. A skill that many multimillion dollar flashy museums miserably fail at.

Situated on country side, you find large building in form of space as was proposed by Hermann Potočnik in later 1920. Inside a guided tour of his life, and work and book that inspired also W. Braun. Lots of items to see, timeline of space race, small Moon rock and Galileo satellite and some Nani satellites. You can also observe Tesla exhibition. A must see for science buffs.
