A dozen events await you, presented by our students, teachers and researchers, as well as by our partners.
Due to the current Vigipirate plan, access to the science villages will be by reservation only, for schoolchildren and the general public.
Ticket office closes on Thursday, October 9 at noon.
This year you have two choices:
- Access to the Science Village on Friday, October 10. This village will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will include around ten activities. We invite you to come all day, or in the morning only (until 12:30 p.m.) or in the afternoon only (from 1:00 p.m.). In order not to repeat the excessively long waiting times encountered last year, we have reduced the number of classes welcomed. This has been adapted to the number of activities available, in order to avoid frustration and to offer everyone, students and activity leaders alike, the best possible experience.
We currently have 9 classes available. If our capacity increases, we will reflect this by opening new spots on the ticketing system. So, don't hesitate to join the waiting list; you will be automatically notified when spots become available. - A tour of our partner Globice's Cetacean Campus. These tours include one class in the morning, at 9 a.m., and one in the afternoon, at 13 p.m., from Monday to Thursday.
Please note! In order to accommodate as many classes as possible, you must choose to visit:
- or the Globice cetacean campus in Tampon between October 6 and 9,
- or the science village on Friday, October 10 (the Globice Cetacean campus will also be present on Friday, October 10, with a shorter visit format, without a specific reservation slot)
