Techmania Science Center
An interactive science center converted from the old factory halls of Škoda, with a 3D planetarium and historic trams and locomotives that families love.
The science center sits in Škoda's industrial district. Its spacious former factory halls are filled with hands-on experiments covering physics, the human body, energy and invention, and they display historic trams and steam locomotives built by Škoda. Next door, the 3D planetarium screens dome films. It suits family trips. Admission is about 250–350 CZK, and weekends are crowded. It is about 15 minutes from the city center by bus or tram.
