The new Science Park at Technoda Givat Olga brings the finest physical principles that affect our daily lives to a single stage under the sky. How does the sound move afar like in the telephone? How can sun rays propel boats or squirt water jets? How does the water warm up in a solar heater?
An acre of an outdoor scientific lab was built to illustrate for you the answers to these questions! Dozens of spectacular exponents at the park domains will show the wonders of science through a “hands on” experience.
The Energy Domain displays exhibits that show the different energy sources and how to use them. For example: solar energy that enables boats to cruise on a lake and activates water fountains;
heat energy that lights fire, wind energy that operates a weather vane and different methods to raise water through physical energy created by human power.
The sound Domain: here one can find gigantic musical instruments, through them the visitor can learn about the principles of physics in music and sound. For example what is the impact of the resonance box or the influence of the type of material on the sound like the length and the thickness of the strings of musical instruments.
The Aviation Domain: The Exhibit presents the “Arrow” missile and a phantom Jet that traveled for three days through the roads of Israel to get “home” at the Technoda
Technoda, Givat Olga is an interactive science park. It has lots of extra activities too including lab sessions and a planetarium.
Got here at 8:45 and still have the place to ourselves. It’s great. And Catherine yes, cool science stuff even for a 12 year old.
My 8 year old went at Hanukkah and loved it
My parents took my 3 yr old in August and said it was a great place with lots of hands on activities and more suited to younger children. We phoned and phoned their contact number on voting day and got no response so check it’s open before going….
My kids (ages 10.5, 8, and 5.5) also enjoyed Technoda – we went this past summer. One of the parts they liked the most was outdoors, which wouldn’t be as relevant in cold and rainy weather.
We’ve been to the Technoda, not too big but our 6 and 4 yr olds happily spent several hours exploring. Similar idea to the science museum in Jerusalem, but a lot less busy. There’s a planetarium there at extra cost for older kids. Beach in Olga is a nice way to spend the rest of the day, weather permitting of course.
