Swiss Science Center Technorama

The Swiss Science Center Technorama is a technology and science museum in Oberwinterthur with more than 500 interactive stations for exploring and experimenting. The exhibitions are spread across multiple floors and cover fields like physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

The center was founded in 1969 and opened to the public in 1982 as an interactive science facility. This shift from a traditional museum to a hands-on learning environment shaped its development.

The center communicates science in a way that sparks curiosity and shows how natural phenomena shape everyday life. Visitors from schools and families experience how scientists think and discover.

Visitors can move through both indoor and outdoor areas, with some stations outside allowing experiments with natural phenomena. There are dining areas for breaks, so you can pace your visit flexibly.

The center houses the Spielzeugeisenbahn-Sammlung Bommer, a remarkable collection of metal toy trains that are rarely seen elsewhere. This special collection tells the story of craftsmanship and ingenuity in toy manufacturing.
