Is Technopolis worth visiting?
The answer is a resounding yes! Technopolis is such a fun and educative place. It is the perfect activity for a rainy day and you will surely spend lots of hours there enjoying all the place has to offer.
For what age is Technopolis appropriate?
Technopolis is perfect for all ages! We have been taking our eldest there regularly since he was 1.5. There is a toddler-friendly area, so fear not, it will be great for your little ones as well. Of course the older the kid the more they make out of this experience, but our little daughter still enjoys following her brother in the amazing place
