Take a tour through the ATLAS underground cavern to see the largest detector ever built at a particle collider: the ATLAS experiment. Learn about the detector, the science and the collaboration.

Join the ATLAS main activity tent and learn all about the ATLAS experiment. Find out how ATLAS studies the Higgs boson; learn what protons are made of and how they collide inside the ATLAS detector; and uncover how ATLAS analyses particle collisions to make new discoveries. Take home a photo of yourself as an ATLAS scientist, sit down for a cup of coffee at our science café and chat with an ATLAS "barista" (physicist).

Take a tour of the ATLAS Visitor Centre. Learn about the experiment, take a peek at the ATLAS control room, and see the original prototype pieces of the detector pieces in the exhibition.

First aid point for Point 1 LHC. A team of first aiders is available in cases of accidents or illness.

Marvel at these simple but entertaining experiments, often bordering on the magical, which demonstrate different states of matter and magnetism in a fun way.

This gate gives your access to Point 1 - ATLAS. It is compulsory to have a wristband that you first received at a check-in desk.
