Where’s Kate – A search for adventure

For children aged 5 to 7

Ahoy, ye landlubbers! Moon pirate Willi urgently needs your help: her chicken Kate has been kidnapped! In costume, you embark on an expedition through experimenta. You have to find a treasure of gold to ransom Kate. On your journey, you will not only encounter a robber, but also learn how the starry sky can point the way.

Since “Where’s Kate” is starting in the forum, we are unfortunately unable to offer a birthday table. Instead, you can have a picnic and bring your own snacks and drinks. We will provide napkins and cups.

  • Number of participants: 5 – 10 children
  • Prices: € 12 per child, 5 children minimum (€ 60), 10 children maximum; 2 accompanying chaperones, free; € 11 for each additional accompanying adult.

Simply amazing! Celebrate an unforgettable birthday with your creative building adventure! Here you can design your own fantasy animals from UMT materials. With child-friendly tools, you can saw, sand, and screw. Whether it’s a crocodile or a dragon – anything is possible! At the end, you’ll have your own colorful zoo of homemade animals to take home with you!

“Workshop Zoo” takes place in our laboratories. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a birthday table there. Perhaps you would like to reserve a table in the experimenta restaurant instead?

Our offers are aimed at schoolchildren. For safety reasons, younger children are unfortunately not able to participate. We ask for your understanding.
