This center is a perfect spot to spend (easily) three hours with kids and teenagers. Many activities, touching different aspects of science: from senses to electricity, from movements to planes constructions. A particularly appreciated one is the bike on a rope at 10m high. The only downside: some of the activities (and the 3d movie) are only in Czech. The vast majority are instead translated in English and German. A cafeteria in the basement can come handy.

We came there at 3 pm, left when they were closing at 6 pm, but if they would be open until 7, we would stay until 7. If we find ourselves again in Brno I think kids will want to go there.
All explanations you can find in czech, english and german. We’ve watched also a 3D movie about dinosaurs there. We tried many many things and still didn’t read all the explanations. It was interesting as for kids as for me.

Though Vida is focused on CZ children; all children are welcome and will enjoy. All information is bilingual; CZ and ENG. So with a bit of help of the parents all children can enjoy and learn on any rainy day in Brno

The centre is focused for hands-on experience in a large hall with small external area (opened in summer only). Our six years old daughter enjoyed the visit and we spent almost three hours by testing and exploring of various science topic suited also for younger kids. There are some 3D movies available. A small diner is part of the centre, but they were unable to accept credit cards during our visit there, whilst the centre tickets sales did.

Nice space, really needs to have signs translated in English so that us visitors could enjoy more. Lots of interactivity but half the time we didn't know what was going on due to everything being in Czech.

If you are going to visit Brno with the children of all age, this is must for the family. Full of fun, full of education for the children, and you can spend all day there. I was there with 3 children (11,7 and 3) and all of them found activity for their age.

Vida is Czech equivalent of Heureka and I think it's perfect name for this place. When you enter you might thing that all those moving things are just for kids, but you will be wrong. I enjoyed it like a little child and experienced again joy of discovering new things and learning hands on about world around us.

We loved this place and our small son (4 years old) was in seventh heaven! Everything is new, clean, the whole place is spacious. There are different topics to explore and if you don;t know in what way something works, the staff is very helpful and helps you immediately.
This place works on Mondays when other museums are closed. In my opinion, this is perfect as you can spend there time with your kid.
We spent there five hours :)
