    Former factory hall with handicrafts, tools and materials for free construction or design according to instructions (only available in Dutch). Our boys, aged 10 and 12, found it rather boring after half an hour, but for the price of admission they should have stayed longer and tried to try more. For small children, only the Lego box is of longer interest.

    (Translated by Google) Fun and educational outing for the whole family. Crafts and as the name says it is enough to discover. (Original) Leuk en leerzaam uitje voor het hele gezin. Knutselen en zoals de naam het zegt genoeg om te ontdekken.

    I came with my kids and they're too young to be by themselves so I had to stay with them, but still I had to pay full price even if I was not participating on any activities! The price should be by the hour as well. A robbery and un unfair place basically!

    Step into the world of wonder and discovery at De Ontdekfabriek, The Discovery Factory, located in the bustling office district of Strijp S. This historic building, rumored to have once been the Phillips factory, has been transformed into a magical wonderland that will delight both children and adults alike. As a family, we visit this enchanting place time and time again because our two elementary school-aged boys can't get enough of it. Luckily, their school provides free access to this amazing facility online. However, for those who aren't as fortunate, you can easily book a spot and purchase tickets through their website. The adventure starts with an immersive cinema experience that will leave you and your little ones in awe. From there, you get to delve into the exciting world of science by conducting experiments in their exploration laboratory. With an abundance of recycled materials at your disposal, your creativity knows no bounds! And if that's not enough, there are rides that will make your heart race and leave you wanting more. The begeleiders, or guides, are the cherry on top of this delightful experience. They're not only knowledgeable but also extremely friendly and eager to help your little ones create their masterpieces. A special shoutout to Begeleider Diederik, who went above and beyond to answer our children's questions and make their experience unforgettable. While your little ones are busy creating their science projects, you can either leave them and come back at the appointed time or relax in their cozy cafe. And don't forget to try their delicious coffee; it's the perfect pick-me-up for parents in need of a break. In general, De Ontdekfabriek is a must-visit for families looking for an exciting, educational, and unforgettable experience.

    Excellent place to go with kids to stimulate their mind and have a great experience even to adults. They have good food, fruit, drinks. The kids must be surpervisioned by parents all the time

  • 5/5 Nicole F. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 18 reviews
    Be sure to come here with the children and stay for many hours! For a fair entry fee, everyone can use the materials and equipment, start building and get creative. There is also coffee and snacks that are very cheap and tasty so that you can keep crafting for a long time.

  • 4/5 Dirk Willem H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice for children, which I found very strange, was the fact that you as parents also have to pay 8.50 euros as an entrance fee. This while it is really only for children, ask for example 5 euros. (Original) Ontzettend leuk voor kinderen, wat ik wel erg vreemd vond, was het feit dat je als ouders ook 8,50 euro als entree moet betalen. Dit terwijl het echt alleen voor kinderen is, vraag dan bv 5 euro.

    (Translated by Google) Fun projects for children to do, making ice-cream sticks and other materials with glue gun is great fun for 8+ kids (Original) Leuke projectjes te doen voor kinderen, met lijmpistol bootjes maken van ijscostokjes en andere materialen is heel leuk voor 8+ kids

  • 3/5 vincent van L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) nice idea, but I've been there 5 years ago, since then little or nothing new has been added. I previously thought it was less (no cutting of polystyrene, no rocket launch, no 3D printing). Daughter of 5 was very happy all afternoon Tip: let the children build a little more that actually works (solar cell, light, etc.) (Original) leuk idee, maar ik ben er 5 jaar geleden ook geweest, sindsdien is er weinig tot niets nieuws toegevoegd. Ik had eerder het idee dat het minder was (geen piepschuim snijden, geen raket lanceren, geen 3D printen). Dochter van 5 had het wel heel erg naar haar zin de hele middag Tip: laat de kinderen wat meer bouwen dat echt werkt (zonnecel, lampje etc.)

    (Translated by Google) Accessible playground for parents and children where you can linger and learn everything in a playful way. (Original) Toegankelijke speelplek voor ouders en kinderen waar je heerlijk kunt vertoeven Γ©n van alles spelenderwijs leert.

  • 5/5 Marc met een C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We had a great day here with our children aged 8 and 12. Several activities where the brain of the children is stimulated to get creative themselves. We have made balloon cars, race cars, movies, 3d prints and other fun things. Our favorite was the scrap corner where you can make something creative yourself with old 'junk'. Also had a snack and a drink, simple but fine. In my opinion, a must for children (and parents) who like to be a bit creative on a technical level. The help and service with the various activities was also very pleasant. (Original) We hebben hier een geweldige dag gehad met onze kinderen van 8 en 12. Verscheidene activiteiten waarbij het brein van de kinderen geprikkeld wordt om zelf wat creatiefs te maken. We hebben ballonauto's, raceauto's, filmpjes, 3d prints en andere leuke dingen gemaakt. Favoriet bij ons was de scraphoek waarbij je met oude 'troep' zelf wat creatiefs fabriceert. Ook nog een hapje en een drankje genuttigd, simpel maar prima. Wat mij betreft een aanrader voor kinderen(en ouders) die graag op technisch vlak wat creatief bezig zijn. De hulp en bediening bij de diverse activiteiten was ook erg prettig.

  • 5/5 Rutger J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Because one of my children was already under the roof, a spontaneous visit because now the age was appropriate. A few years ago I thought I would go, now it was possible. First I wondered why you should betas as an adult, it soon became clear that adults are also doing a lot of hobbies here. Here you can artistically express your technical aptitude. There is plenty to do here for young and old, if you want, all day long! Dingetje, see where you can park. If it is not too busy. can do it in the street with paid parking, think of your parking app! (Original) Omdat een van mijn kinderen al onder de pannen was, een spontaan bezoek omdat nu de leeftijd geschikt was. Enkele jaren geleden dacht ik al eens te gaan, nu kon het. Vroeg me eerst af waarom je als volwassene ook moet betaslen, al snel werd duidelijk dat ook volwassenen hier op en top aan het hobbyen zijn. Hier kun je je technische aanleg artistiek kwijt. Voor jong en oud is hier genoeg te doen, als je wil de hele dag! Dingetje, kijk wel waar je kunt parkeren. Als het niet te druk is. kan het in de straat zelf met betaald parkeren, denk aan je parkeerapp!

  • 4/5 Lindsey van B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fun and educational outing for children. Certainly 2 to 3 hours of fun! The young staff are friendly and helpful. I did miss the explanation on arrival. Furthermore, I did not expect parents (also the same rate) to pay an entrance fee. This made our afternoon trip a lot more expensive than planned in advance. (Original) Leuk en leerzaam uitje voor kinderen. Zeker 2 tot 3u plezier! Het jonge personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ik miste wel de uitleg bij binnenkomst. Verder had ik niet verwacht dat ouders (ook hetzelfde tarief) entree moeten betalen. Hierdoor kwam ons middagje weg een stuk duurder uit dan vooraf gepland.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice for the kids and secretly also for the parents πŸ˜‰ (Original) Heel leuk voor de kids en stiekem ook voor de ouders πŸ˜‰

  • 4/5 Emy S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Bustling place, where there is entertainment for every child. Building a wooden car, then putting it in a motorway, making a balloon car or other challenging activity. The workshops are also appealing: we attended the rocket making / bottle shooting workshop; hilarious and educational! Recommended. (Original) Bruisende plek, waar voor ieder kind wel vermaak te vinden is. Een houten auto timmeren, vervolgens in een autobaan zetten, een ballonauto maken of andere uitdagende activiteit. Ook de workshops zijn aansprekend: wij woonden de raket maken/flessen schieten-workshop bij; hilarisch en leerzaam! Aanrader dus.

  • 1/5 Ferry van de G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This was a really lousy place to go with Kids aged 7 and 9. It is no more than a few craft tables together but without material. Broken markers, out of glue and too few tools. Not recommended. (Original) Dit was echt een heel belabberde plek om met Kids van 7 en 9 heen te gaan. Het is niet meer dan een paar knutsel tafels bij elkaar maar dan zonder materiaal. Kapotte stiften, lijm die op is en te weinig gereedschap. Geen aanrader dus.

  • 4/5 Jean Pierre van R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Discover Factory is a nice place to spend a day with your (grand) children. The favorite activity was making a wooden racing car and then testing its driving skills on the wooden practice track. Also fun to do, 3D printing your initial letter. You can immediately rest for a while. You can also have a drink and something to eat. Ideal for a children's party. (Original) De Ontdekfabriek is een leuke plek om met je (klein) kinderen een dagje door te brengen. De favoriete bezigheid was het maken van een houten raceautotje en daarna de rijvaardigheid daarvan testen op de houten oefenbaan. Ook leuk om te doen, het 3D printen van je beginletter. Je kunt dan meteen even uitrusten. Verder kun je er wat drinken en een kleinigheidje eten. Ideaal voor een kinderfeestje.

    (Translated by Google) Great fun location to go with the kids or in our case with a children's party for our daughter who turned 9. Super nice welcome with a tour, singing and gift for the birthday boy. We have hardly seen the kids, they crafted and crafted wonderfully. Especially making the wooden car and making robots from old machines was very popular. The care was good and there were many helpful staff. Thank you for the nice party! (Original) Geweldig leuke locatie om zelf met de kids heen te gaan of in ons geval met een kinderfeestje voor onze dochter die 9 werd. Super leuk onthaal met een rondleiding, zingen en cadeau voor de jarige. De kids hebben we bijna niet gezien, ze hebben heerlijk geknutseld en gehobbyd. Vooral het maken van het houten autootje en robots maken van oude aparaten viel erg in de smaak. De verzorging was goed en er was veel behulpzaam personeel. Dank jullie voor het leuke feestje!

  • 4/5 Marloes en Peter van de V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place to build things for tough boys and girls! Some things were not arranged well. Guidance with the glue guns had been handy for the flow. Now time was stagnant due to the crowds. Also a lot of junk stuff in the DIY department. Few parts that you could build anything with. May be refreshed once. Furthermore, everything very nice. Our boys had a good time. Easily 3 hours or more fun. (Original) Leuke plek om dingen te bouwen voor stoere jongens en meiden! Sommige dingen waren niet helemaal lekker geregeld. Begeleiding bij de lijm pistolen was handig geweest voor de doorstroming. Nu stagneerde de tijd onwijs bij de drukte. Ook wel heel veel rommel spuls bij de zelfbouw afdeling. Weinig onderdelen waar je nog iets mee kon bouwen. Mag een keer ververst worden. Verder alles erg leuk. Onze jongens hebben zich goed vermaakt. Met gemak 3 uur of meer plezier.

  • 3/5 Vincent R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice but smaller than expected. There are also fewer activities than we thought, only soldering a Christmas tree and of course some things to build (bamboo sticks, which you cannot take home with you). The biggest letdown is that you as adults also have to pay € 8.50, even though it is aimed at children, we also ate there (2 sandwiches, 2 sausage rolls, 2 cappuccino and 2 Fristi. That was also € 21, so quite expensive for what you get for it) There are all sorts of interesting things with unfortunately everywhere signs 'don't climb', although they are things that invite you to climb. Very friendly (young) staff. The name discovery factory suggests something more than there really is to do. Nevertheless easy to maintain for 2 to 2.5 hours for the children. A tip would be that some more things could be built (simple solder projection with LEDs, etc.) (Original) Heel leuk maar kleiner dan verwacht. Ook zijn er wat minder activiteiten dan we dachten, alleen kerstboom solderen en natuurlijk wel wat dingen om te bouwen (bamboestoktoren, die mag je echter niet mee naar huis nemen). Grootste afknapper is eigenlijk wel dat je als volwassenen ook €8,50 moet aftikken, ondanks dat het gericht is op kinderen, we hebben daar ook nog gegeten (2 tosti's, 2 worstenbroodjes, 2 cappuccino en 2 Fristi. Dat was ook €21 dus al met al behoorlijk duur voor wat je ervoor krijgt) Er staan allerlei interessante dingen met helaas overal bordjes 'niet opklimmen' alhoewel het wel dingen zijn die erg uitnodigen om juist wel op te klimmen. Erg vriendelijk (jong) personeel. De naam ontdekfabriek suggereert wat meer dan er werkelijk te doen is. Desondanks makkelijk 2 a 2,5 uur vol te houden voor de kinderen. Een tip zou zijn dat er wat meer dingen gebouwd kunnen worden (simpel soldeer projectie met ledjes o.i.d.)
