Odysseum, Science center in Kalk, Germany
Description
The Odysseum is a science center in Kalk, Cologne, where visitors can explore various natural science fields across a large space. The rooms are equipped with interactive stations that make subjects like biology, genetics, ecology, robotics, and physics hands-on and experiential.
History
The center opened in 2009 from a desire to make science accessible in new ways. Its development shows how museums shifted from being passive exhibition spaces to active learning places.

The venue is easy to reach and has plenty of parking available for visitors arriving by car. It's worth planning enough time to explore the many stations, as most visitors spend several hours there.
