Experiments during the break
Our "Physikshow" runs for about two hours. During the break of most of our Bonn shows you have the opportunity to try some small experiments yourself. For many children this is one of the most memorable experiences of our "Physikshow".
Information on the registration
Since our shows are quite popular we suggest to sign up beforehand. The sign up has been completed after you get an email with your registration number. You can sign up via the German form on the website, email or phone. You should be able to let us know your registration number at the admission.
Admission with registration: If you signed up beforehand and have a registration number, you should go to the left door of the main entrance. There we will check your registration number and the number of people you brought. Admission starts around one hour before the show. Please arrive on time, because ten minutes before the show starts we will start letting in people without registration to fill the free seats.
Admission without registration: If you didn't sign up beforehand, you can cue in front of the right door of the main entrance. If there are any free seats left ten minutes before the show starts, we will let you fill up those seats. However we cannot guarantee you'll get in this way.
Here applies: "The early cat catches the mouse."
There is no seat reservation. However the first few rows are reserved for children. The lecture hall has tiered seating and small experiments will be filmed and projected to the wall. So you will have a good view from everywhere.
The WPH building and the lecture hall can be accessed by a ramp at the main entrance and wide, albeit heavy, doors. However, only the top and rearmost row of the lecture hall can be accessed with a wheelchair. In order to keep the emergency routes clear, no walkers or wheelchairs may be placed in the corridors or on the stairs. Walkers can be parked at the back of the lecture hall.
The lecture hall steps are flat, long and wide, without handrails on the sides.
There is no elevator and no barrier-free WC in the lecture hall building. The toilets are located in the basement and can only be reached by stairs.
The actors are equipped with microphones and are acoustically amplified by loudspeakers distributed throughout the room. The auditorium is darkened during the show. Loud, sudden sounds and flickering lights may occur.
Two disabled parking spaces are available at the rear of the WPH building (in Sobottaweg, see map below).
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require further information. Contact details can be found on our contact page.
