PLAY with hands-on family activities

In this hands-on workshop, you will build your own particle detector using dry ice and isopropanol to make cosmic particles and natural radiation visible.

From huge transformers to optical fibres the width of a human hair, see all the equipment used to supply CERN's accelerators and experiments - it's electrifying!

You're the engineer-in-charge of the LHC control room. Before your shift ends, you will have to accelerate the two particle beams, maintain their trajectories with powerful magnets, and make the beams collide. Will you successfully complete the LHC run? Maybe find new particles? Play this escape room to find out.

Join CERN's firefighters and use a fire extinguisher to put out a real fire.
