About
The Copernicus Science Centre is one of the largest science centres in Europe. Its exhibition is divided into six interdisciplinary parts with over 400 exhibits. Music is combined here with biology, and mathematics with architecture. Science enters the realm of feelings, and the visitors themselves may become the object of observation.

- ManieloiSainte-Luce-sur-Loire, France19 contributionsNot to be missed! Must-see place to do if you are visiting Warsaw. Ideal for children and adults. We really had a great time with family. We paid about 39€ for 4 (2 adults and two children aged 11 and 12 years) . On site count about 3 hours, see more if you want to test everything, there are people. Upon entering there is a locker room where you can drop your coats.Visited February 2025Traveled with familyWritten February 15, 2025
- laura tPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania24 contributionsAbsolute must for families with children and adults who are interested in learning/science! We spent almost 4 hours at the museum and practically had to drag our 10 year old son out. The museum is interactive, with everything translated into English so we could fully enjoy. We even had an amazing teacher/worker who spent over 10 minutes with our son, teaching him about electromagnets. Amazing and totally worth the visit. The inside cafeteria had great sandwiches and deserts for reasonable prices.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 1, 2024
- E AFort Worth, Texas105 contributionsThe best science museum we have visited so far. Much better than any in United States. Very interactive, nothing boring, all experiments/ exhibitions have explanations in Polish, English and Ukrainian. The robotic part impressed us the most but all sections of museum are fabulous. Think about all experiments/ science concept they talked about at school but now you can experience them hands on. The toddler part of museum looks fun too (playground plus water experiments that kids love) Must see! Also in walking distance from the museum is a monument of Warsaw’s mermaid with fabulous views of the Stadion Narodowy.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 31, 2024
- Mykola TurchynWarsaw, Poland26 contributionsThe Copernicus Science Museum in Warsaw is an exhilarating journey through the wonders of science. With interactive exhibits that captivate both young and old, it's a thrilling exploration of the universe, from astronomy to robotics. Engaging, educational, and utterly inspiring, it's a must-visit destination for anyone curious about the marvels of the cosmos.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 23, 2024
- cartellecruzPoznan, Poland88 contributionsGood to book in advance online as it could be sold out. There is a planetarium and also a really big museum very didactic with plenty of attractions for both children and adults. It will be hours of activities. There is also a restaurant.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 3, 2024
- Chris DMilton, Canada17 contributionsThis is the best science center I've been too. It's much better than the ones I've seen in Canada. They have some of the most advanced robotics in the world. Very interactive displays that can keep the kids interested and busy all day long. They do a good job of supporting multiple languages.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 28, 2024

The museum is brand new and also expanding, one of the most interactive I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, if you are an adult or at least slightly knowledgeable in some subjects, the whole complex is equipped with many games, attractions and exhibitions mainly for children.
In fact, the entire museum is overrun by school groups who often prevent you from participating.
I decided to also try the show at the planetarium but it is quite short and the first half is all in Polish and the second barely talks about Copernicus.

For a foreigner the first thing to notice is the lack of day to day information in Enhlish. A concrete example is that the planetarium ticket includes a note about not to be late, but the name of the movie is not available in English at all. The exhibitions are professionally made and include nicely English texts, but the personnel seems to consist almost solely of 20 year old youngsters who don't have professional deeper understanding and who are there just for the money. The futurism section of the exhibition was too full of text and video done in all cases exactly similar ways, it lacked variety and highlight. Plus side was planetarium show including a real presenter showing the simulated current night sky, so not just a movie theater.

A very correct science center/museum, with unique facilities and others similar to other centers; and most are interactive. Not very big: a couple of hours may be enough, unless you want to try all the facilities. Pay attention to the rate: you have to look at the time of entry, since the price is different depending on the time.

Visited Warsaw from the uk for new years and decided that our teenage boys would love the science museum and they enjoy similar teqniquest here in the uk. Firstly the place is huge with loads and loads of exhibits the problem we had although it was busy many exhibits were turned off with a sign saying in quieter periods they don’t run, also the cards explaining each experiment had cards with different languages but many were missing the English card so we had no idea what to do. Also beware unless you speak polish you won’t understand any of the side shows as all in polish, yeh totally get we are in Poland but worth a mention to other travellers visiting from different countries x x

It is a great place for entertainment. Most of the visitors are kids and teenagers but I recommend it for people at any age. It is never too late to learn something interesting and have fun at the same time! It is not a traditional museum, but very modern, interactive one. A lot of exhibitions, you can spend here at least a couple of hours but be prepared for crowds everywhere - for me a couple of hours of finding for a space is rather tiring. Booking in advance is highly recommended to be able to enter without queue and disappointment.

It most definitely is worth it and i highly recommend to anyone no matter of age.
I stand with the belief that you are never too old to learn new things so this is perfect for both kids and teens and adults. Everyone.
The museum is very interesting and it will take the whole day to see everything so make sure to get the time if you come here. I've been here many times because it changes once in a while :)
A polish must.

Our expectation for the museum were a bit higher than they've should be, that's an issue. This museum was so hyped for so long from left and right (acquaintances, friends et.) so it was hard not to expect something spectacular from it. So we both kids and adults were disappointed. Maybe if we hadn't visited anything similar to compare it with, our impression would be better, but since we were in AHHAA in Tartu, it was not the case. All members of a family unanimously said that experience in Copernicus Science Centre was not so fun, it seem to have more space, but exhibitions are somewhat scarce, and surprisingly, a bit less interactive. All in all it is solid science museum/interactive playground worth a visit, but just don't get your hopes to high, especially if you have been in similar venues somewhere else.
Also i better to reserve /buy tickets beforehand via internet, as it maybe the case that you will not be able to buy them on site for the same day to visit because venue limits visitor count and on busier days all maybe sold out.

We enjoyed a lot. Very interactive Center, you can do a lot of fun things there, you can easily sown all day long there. A lot of kids, we we’re enchanted to see kids play, enjoy and asking about real life and scientific things.
For foreign visitors will be a little more difficult to acces all fun, due to language barrier. We watched Robotic Theatre, waited in line to enter and we had surprise that the robot’s performance to be only in Polish language. Respect but not for foreigners.

Me and my friends were super excited to see this amazing museum! But immediatly when we arrived we realised how chaotic that place was. There is a lot to see and experience, but not enough room to do it. Everytime you were planning to try something kids were running ahead of you. How to explore the museum is not clear and the signs were not that good. Museum was too growdy and you always needed to whats your back so you don’t bumb in to someones kid. The museum would be very very nice if there was somekind of order where to go. It felt like kindergarden because of the chaos.
Plusses:
-So many things to do and experience if you have the patience to wait
Minuses:
-kids running around
-too crowdy

It is a nice experimentarium where you can touch and try everything. The center is rather big and has two floors. We liked the first floor more than the ground level - next time we will go directly upstairs. It is better to buy tickets beforehand on their website - the center has lots of visitors. You are sure to spend at least half a day there, so it is better to take some sandwiches with you not to be hungry - you are allowed to eat your own food on the first floor cafe zone where you can buy only drinks and some cakes.

Hey,
So, this centre is included in the Warsaw city pass, does it include movie tickets or it has to be a separate purchase?

Will it be interesting for a 3 year old?
Written March 26, 2022
This museum has a section for toddlers. It’s like a playground with water experiments but I bet some other parts might be interested too even if he/she won’t understand experiments

Do której można zwiedzać obiekt? Opłaca się kupić bilet na godzinę 17:40?
Written June 19, 2020
Oficjalnie na stronie, godz. Otwarcia do 18.00 w weekend do 19, ale może jest jakaś zmiana ze względu na sytuację. Uważam, że 17.40 to za późno. My byliśmy od 12.00 I zeszło nam się do 17.00 żeby tak na spokojnie wszystko obejrzeć. Potem poszliśmy do planetarium na film"Na skrzydłach marzeń" piękny film warto obejrzeć.Polecam

Check the website for this information but I believe they only sell individual tickets at about 33PLN for adults and children are a few PLN less.

Thinking of visiting here... is it suitable for two teenage boys, aged 16 and 18 (with a strong interest in science)
Thanks in advance!
Written July 13, 2019
I would say that the place is focused to little bit younger. Still I would recommend to visit there. Nice building with lots to see, worth of visit.

Is the museum will be open on Sunday 22.4.2019?
And on what hours?
Is there anything to do for 16.5 years old boy?
Written April 15, 2019
zależy od zainteresowania osoby uczestniczącej. Mogą to być 3 - 4 godziny, ale równie dobrze może to być cały dzień. Niektórzy będą tam wracać po kilka razy i na pewno będą mieli co robić. Bardzo ciekawe miejsce gdzie można uczestniczyć w wielu eksperymentach.

Hi would this museum be fun for a 2 year old? Or would they be too young? Thanks
Written February 12, 2019
Too young. There are a couple of expositions that would attract his/her attention but that's about it.
