Programme
-
Windy Wavy Wobblers: bring the air to life with your self-made ventilation monster. With your wobbling and waving creation, we will have a dance party in the Nieuwe Instituut. Will you join us?
-
Ruckus Race: is it a plane? Is it an alien on wheels? Is it a space worm? YES! Everything is possible, as long as it can glide over our Amazing Space Racetrack. Design your vehicle of the future and let’s see if you can shoot for the stars and make it to another planet.
-
Jumbo Jumper Jam: make that beautiful jumper even more beautiful by putting it on together with your favourite people. Who are you when you're together? Can you all fit into one piece of clothing? Of course - here, you can do just that! Make together, move together and take a photo together to take back home.
-
Bizarre Bread Bar: come enjoy a delicious, delicious meal with your loved ones and build the sandwich of your dreams. Will yours have snot, gnome poop, or a dinosaur steak? It's up to you. Enjoy!
-
DrawDoodleDo: this isn't just any photo booth; it's a truly special one. Here, you can have a real artist draw your own portrait. Just like in the old days, you'll have to wait a little while while they're busy drawing. So: pose, wait, and your artwork is done!
And more: There's plenty to do for the whole family: a baby corner for the littlest ones and a quiet area for a moment of rest in the Studio. Take part in the family scavenger hunts through the exhibitions or discover the children's exhibition Future Makers! on the third floor. And to top it all off, you can have your face painted with your own design.
Language: Dutch/English | Location: Nieuwe Instituut | € 4,50 of free entrance with a Rotterdampas and Museumkaart
