There are almost endless opportunities to conduct experiments – to make electricity with turbines, glide through the air on a lifting platform, build a bridge and test it out. The science center offers lots of opportunities for active involvement.
THE LIVING MUSEUM If that’s too technological there’s always the aquarium next door with colorful coral reefs and the fascinating world of underwater life. Just a couple of floors further up there are foreign cultures and strange life forms from far-flung regions of the world. In the reptile zoo even encounters with live snakes and lizards become the most natural thing in the world.

How do we see, hear or smell? How does the heart work – or our lungs? Anyone who wants to see the human body from a different perspective should take this fantastic journey inside the human body. The numerous exhibitions also allow other voyages of discovery - from the Arctic Circle to the tropical rainforests; domestic river landscapes to far-away deserts, bizarre deep sea life forms and fabulous crystals from deep within the earth. Once you’ve seen all this, there’s no denying that the biggest adventure on the planet is the natural world.
HELLO SA L ZBURG
The Haus der Natur Salzburg - Museum for natural science and technology is a real crowd-puller. A tour of the museum reveals the full fascination of the natural world. At the entrance gigantic dinosaurs show how the world looked millions of years ago. Just a few steps away another section offers excitement in outer space and insights into the endless expanse of the universe.

Almost the entire area on the tour is covered in ice. – 40-kilometer cave system – 1 km open to visitors – Tour with carbide lamps and extra-bright magnesium light – Cave temperature 0°C – warm clothing and sturdy footwear recommended – 20-minute walk from the visitor center to the base station for the cable car – Ride on one of Austria’s steepest cable cars – Another 20-minute walk to the immense cave entrance at 1642 meters above sea level – There is an altitude change of 134 meters (1400 steps) within the cavern – All paths are secured by guardrails. – Not suitable for the physically disabled or the frail!

The heart of the Water Worlds is the modern Waterfall Center: The Aquaszenarium is a projection show that is unique in Austria and a blast for all ages. Recorded projections play on the floor and walls and can be influenced and changed by touch or footstep. This multimedia device immerses visitors in various playful water worlds: It starts with the wetlands at the upper falls of the Krimmler Ache, in which projected butterflies, grasses and fish can be played with interactively. It continues to a water level, where visitors seem to stand in the middle of the waterfall and can reach through the waterfall to grab apparent treasures. Then it goes down into the underwater world, in which the visitor is optically reduced to the size of microbes.
H O U S E O F W AT E R / A Q U A P A R K In the exhibition area »House of Water« it’s all about the transfer of knowledge: With exciting experiments and surprising facts about »Hohe Tauern Health«, the health initiative with special offers for allergy and asthma sufferers. The new »Water Cinema« makes the slightest movements of the water surface visible by means of innovative technologies and specially programmed projectors. Outside, visitors are encouraged to become active: There is a water-animated figure »AquaMax«, an aquatic version of table football, and much more…
