    It is far from the city. Bus frequency on weekends is every one hour. Takes another 40 minutes to go back to Ikea. Then their cosmotheater movie quality is bad. Colors are poor too. 3d is just for namesake and English headphones are uncomfortable and have disturbance. The screen has square aspect ratio but movie is wide. Planeterium was good. It was immersive, good video quality, but the headphones were were uncomfortable. Technology museum is also good. One can easily spend 2 hrs in 3 parts of technology museum.

    Amazing place to take your kids. Went on a sunday, saw a movie in the Planetarium, a 3d movie in the theater and did the simulator ride as well. After a short break at the restaurant we started with the museum excibits and activities. It was a very fun and educational experience.

    Thessaloniki is more popular with the White Tower, the promenade, taverns, party places, but not with the Noesis science center. It is not that big as the ones in Barcelona and Amsterdam, but it has a great collection of experiments, models, simulations, even old cars. It's good for teens and adults also, for rainy and hot days. The restaurant has a great view, but it was not open and the cafe has a limited number of snacks, just to know if you go up the hill for longer hours.

    Lots of engaging activities for kids (even for my 4 year old). Very clean and all the people who work are polite. This is one if the things that modern Greeks should be be very proud for.

    Amazing place for kids and adults. Classic cars exposition is very interesting. Interactive science exhibits are must. Ancient Greek science hall presents a history of inventions. Definitely must visit place in Thessaloniki.

    There is a big problem with the earphones for the English translations in the planetarium and cosmostheatre (mostly do not work) and it s extremely cold inside them. In addition, the restaurant was closed, as booked for a wedding without prior notice on the website and there are not other close places where to eat. It is a pity because the museum is wonderful, as well as the other attractions inside of it..

    Very interesting place, especially for kids! We spent there 4 hours and would like to spend more, but it closes 3 pm (too early). Also please check what translations exist for movies, because some movies are in greek only.

    This exceeded mt expectations. This museum has different haitorical artifacts and it explained them pretty well. It also has a lot of historical cars to look at. But my favorite part was the illusions. There were so much cool illusions and all of them are explained. I mean you are able to even lift a whole car. I learned a lot. And there is also a 3d cinema if I am not mistaken which offers educational videos. And the price is really cheap

    Amazing learning experience!!! We have watched the dinosaurs’ 3D program, we have visited the science playroom for kids and the car exhibition! My almost 7 years old wants to visit again and again! That tells it all! A truly learning experience and not just for kids!!!

    Fantastic, brilliant educative concept and execution, much needed especially in our days, It's not as great as it used to be the first 5-7 years of it's operation, it obviously needs more maintenance mostly, not so much upgrading but certainly restoration-maintenance. The potential and base structure of the place is stellar, it's really such a pity is not on its 100% state. It should and I hope it will be restored, revamped to it's full glory for everybody's intellectual and cultural sake ... The other issue about it is the switch of role of the restaurant-cafeteria to an event hall ... especially when the main visiting idea is based on daily tickets with access to all spaces and shows. It's a big deal that this fantastic as well restaurant is not constantly accessible and available ...

    A perfect day spent at Noesis! The kids absolutely loved engaging in the interactive tasks the museum had to offer! Learning through play all the way! Plus, the documentaries at the planetarium definitely a unique experience!

    I went at Noesis 1 week ago and I am surprised! There are no disadvantages at all! Some of it's advantages: it's a great experience for kids and adults! People who go there, decrease their knowledge within hours!!! In my opinion, it is a really great place to go, especially with kids!!

    Nice science museum. 3D movies are in Greek with no translation and are rather long for small kids who don't understand Greek. I think the movies are a bit long even for Greeks :)

  • 3/5 Ido S. 1 year ago on Google
    I expected more. The museum consists of 3 permanent exhibitions, 1 temporary exhibition, a 3D movie theatre, a planetarium, and a simulator. I purchased a daily ticket for 12 euros, and was told that it includes the museum exhibitions, a movie and the planetarium (so, everything but the simulator). However, it turned out that the ticket also excludes the temporary exhibition, which is both odd and not well-communicated. One permanent exhibition consists of modern replicas and models of ancient machines, like a catapult. The items are cute, but lack authentic feel. Most of them are missing English signs, which is unacceptable. Headsets are available, but this, too, wasn't well-communicated. The second permanent exhibition consists of old cars. This one is nice, although the decision to focus on one type of technology is a bit random. I've been to similiar museums which offer comparable exhibitions of cars, but also have ships, trains, aircraft etc. The third permanent exhibition is a physics playground, most suitable for children, but enjoyable for adults as well. A few of the items were nonfunctional. Outside the exhibition halls, the museum is not very well organised. There are a few hidden nooks with small exhibits which are easy to miss. A photo station is inoperational. The central hallway is not utilised for anything. The 3D movie (about dinosaurs) was well-made, but the colours were a bit washed out. The planetarium was disappointing, with bad video and audio quality. Both screenings lacked English subtitles. Admittedly, 12 euros is a low price for a museum visit and two movie screenings, but the latter are just not on par with what can be expected in 2022. Overall, the museum is rather simplistic compared to others I've been to, and seems to lack heart: it shows you items without really telling a story. It's still enjoyable if you adjust your expectations, especially for kids who want a taste of cars, physics and ancient machines, without diving deeply into any one topic.

    We had a great time with the family! The kids were very enthusiastic! we spend 5 hours and we didn't catch to do all activities... It is a gem for Thessaloniki. A must visit for families! Τhe staff was super kind!

    I loved the place. Much fun for adults as well:)

  • 5/5 Zetta E. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a unique experience, since the planetarium provides mind blowing viewing experience and education. There is a variety of 3D film programmes and a simulator, too. It alone covers a One day trip.

  • 5/5 CaptnKirkM 1 year ago on Google
    I was unsure of what to expect. This place is awesome, and I didn't even see any shows. I explored the automobile exhibit, which I thought was fantastic. Next, I explored the ancient technology exhibit that was even more enthralling. Very well presented. I will visit again so I can experience the planetarium and theaters. So much to see.

  • 5/5 Idit H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. We had hours of fun, knowledge gaining and science adventures in Noesis. There is currently a fascinating exhibition about the history of computers and information systems from the beginning to nowadays on the second floor. Absolutely perfect experience and totally recommended. Getting there is only possible by car / taxi.

  • 1/5 Konstantinos K. 1 year ago on Google
    Incompetent staff and unorganised events. Waited 40 minutes in queue to visit Technopark just to learn that we have to come back in one hour, wait again and get a ticket to visit in two hours. Not worth the visit. The equipment and the movies played have the same age as our universe. My eyes still hurt.Total mess!

  • 3/5 Irina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice museum but it was raining the day we visited it and all over the museum were buckets for water falling from the roof... Technical museum and bad roof is a bit weird as for me :)

  • 5/5 Krenar G. 1 year ago on Google
    A very beautiful and very large museum. It takes more than 2 hours to visit it all. Not to be missed.

  • 2/5 Tinus P. 2 years ago on Google
    Both the audio tour and the qr codes weren't working. So the English speakers are negleted as not everything had English translations. Also the Greek ancient technology wasn't interactive at all and behind glass. The ancient Greek technology museum in Athens is way better. Go there if you are a tourist.

    Some stuff not working coz of the covid. And little kids 4 yo need to have test which is stupid…

  • 5/5 Joanne A. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic educational and fun place for children to learn and experience science in so many different ways. Will always be coming back!

  • 5/5 Vasileios K. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited this place twice over 3 years and my kids love it, it's now a must for every visit. And the older they get the more things they can do at Noesis. Very fun and truly educational experience.

  • 5/5 IVA B. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic place for the whole family. There are plenty of things to see, do and learn in a fun way. I recommend buying a family ticket for the day which gives you access to the museum, the planetarium and the theater as well. The parking is convenient, the facilities are clean. The catch is, your children's self tests need to be issued withing the last 24 hours, or they won't let you in. Learned that the hard way. You'll need a vaccination certificate or a rapid test.

    Great museum. A must-see if you are near Thessaloniki!

  • 5/5 Nikola J. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place to spend a morning or afternoon with your kids. Too bad they are strict with their age rulea though, so my almost 5 years old kid couldn't see Planetarium, since it's meant for kids that are 5+.

  • 5/5 Panagiotis V. 5 years ago on Google
    Visited with my daughters! Organized a long day attendance! Great experience!

  • 5/5 Georgia T. 6 years ago on Google
