The Weekend of Science is the national science festival for all ages. In Leiden, a variety of activities will be taking place.
The Weekend of Science is suitable for (almost) all ages. Our main focus is on families with children between 8 and 14 years old, but everyone is welcome to explore the fascinating world of science and technology.
Dive into the program and enjoy! At Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, you can follow a scavenger hunt and visit the exhibition Playing with Mathematics. On Saturday, October 4th, the Old Observatory Leiden will host an Open Day. At Naturalis, you’ll discover how bats communicate with each other and learn all about biodiversity in the free-to-visit LiveScience hall.
