    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, after our visit today, I cannot write much good news. Two main criticisms: too many of the exhibits are no longer in operation or defective, missing screens, broken experiments. Second, the admission price for being a promotional event is far too high. Admission should actually be free of charge, otherwise I at least expect the exhibition to be constantly maintained and maintained. I have a little impression that some of the companies set up their stands a few years ago and have been out of maintenance since then. (Original) Leider kann ich nach unserem heutigen Besuch nicht viel Erfreuliches schreiben. Zwei Hauptkritikpunkte: allzuviele der Exponante sind nicht mehr in Betrieb oder defekt, fehlende Bildschirme, kaputte Experimente. Zweitens ist der Eintrittspreis dafür, dass es eine reine Werbeveranstaltung ist, viel zu hoch. Eigentlich müsste der Eintritt kostenlos sein, ansonsten erwarte ich wenigstens, dass die Ausstellung permanent gepflegt und in Stand gehalten wird. Ich habe ein bisschen den Eindruck, dass manche der Firmen vor ein paar Jahren ihre Stände aufgebaut haben, und seitdem keinen Unterhalt mehr betreiben.

    (Translated by Google) The 'environmental arena' is just an advertising platform. And one also requires admission. This is really only possible in Switzerland ... (Original) Die 'Umweltarena' ist lediglich eine Werbeplattform. Und man verlangt auch noch Eintritt dafür. Das geht auch wirklich nur in der Schweiz ...

    (Translated by Google) The 'environmental arena' is merely an advertising platform for global companies (such as Nestle). Restaurant not recommended. Qualitatively bad food at inflated prices. (Original) Die 'Umweltarena' ist lediglich eine Werbeplattform für weltweit tätige Unternehmen (z.B. Nestle). Restaurant nicht empfehlenswert. Qualitativ schlechtes Essen zu überhöhten Preisen.

    (Translated by Google) The concept is anything but sustainable. After 45 minutes we are out again. It is a sustainability advertising platform for companies, for which one pays even entry. The kids can push and turn a few buttons. That's it. Has left neither me nor child a lasting impression. Too bad. (Original) Das Konzept ist alles andere als nachhaltig. Nach 45 min sind wir wieder raus. Es ist eine Nachhaltigkeits-Werbeplattform für Unternehmen, für das man auch noch Eintritt zahlt. Die Kinder können ein paar Knöpfe drücken und drehen. That's it. Hat weder mir noch Kind einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen. Schade.

    (Translated by Google) Absolutely confusing and unsuitable for children and boring. Nothing works and nothing works except pressing a few buttons. The food in the restaurant is bad and far too expensive. Umweltarena sells drinks in PET bottles! Really now ? Otherwise, advertising as far as the eye can see. Not even Greta would have found anything good here! Never again! (Original) Absolut unübersichtlich und für Kinder ungeeignet und langweilig. Nichts funktioniert und ausser ein paar Knöpfe drücken läuft hier gar nichts. Das Esssen im Restaurant ist schlecht und viel zu teuer. Umweltarena verkauft Getränke in PET Flaschen ! Echt jetzt ? Ansonsten Werbung so weit das Auge reicht. Nicht einmal Greta hätte hier was Gutes gefunden! Nie wieder!

    I was quite disappointed and in my opinion the admission fee is too epensive for what it offers. There is not much Interactive experience but rather different larger companies that try to sell how green and sustainable their products are. The first car manufacturer I noticed was VW who bragged about their clean Diesel and gasoline cars. Say hi to the Diesel scandal... All exhibited cars were locked and nobody there to ask questions about their cars... We're not coming back.

    (Translated by Google) It explains basic things which revolve around the topic of environment, health, etc. By and large, I see this as a major advertising platform for countless companies that claim their product is best. The idea behind it is great, but I can not recommend it. The maintenance is unfortunately forgotten. There are missing some tablets, various screens do not run or you came with a click on the Windows interface. Some things were broken or not available at all. So the whole thing was built to present companies and then just let it stand as it is. Anyway, come over here. (Original) Es werden Grundlegende dinge erklärt welches sich um das Thema Umwelt, Gesundheit, etc drehen. Im grossen und ganzen sehe ich dies als eine grosse Werbeplattform für unzählige unternehmen welche behaupten ihr Produkt sein am besten. Die Idee dahinter finde ich zwar super, kann dies jedoch trotzdem nicht empfehlen. Auch der Unterhalt wird leider vergessen. Es fehlen einige Tablets, diverse Bildschirme laufen nicht oder man kam mit einem klick auf die Windows Oberfläche. Einige Sachen waren defekt oder gar nicht erst verfügbar. Also das ganze wurde gebaut um Firmen zu präsentieren und dann eifach so stehen gelassen wie es halt gerade ist. Kommt mir jedenfalls so rüber.

    Quick summary; place is not for english speaking audience arriving on e-bike, needing a charge. Note: I did not end up visiting the exhibition due to these few reasons: - None of the texts in the exhibition were in English, audio guide was also not available in English. - I arrived by an electric bicycle and asked for a possibility to charge it while visiting the museum. I had my charger with me, so just a normal local socket was needed. Museum personnel didn't have any clue if there was possibility for such a rare request :D The final answer I got was "there is no possibility to charge it in the buiding". In a place like this, please.

    (Translated by Google) I went there about a month ago and I was very disappointed. I'm very interested in environmental issues and I was shocked what I found there. The exhibition reminded me more of bad greenwashing at a trade fair than of a neutral, factual museum. The restaurant "Klima" hardly lives up to its name. The food was okay, but all in all it was very confusing and disorganized, which my mother (a trained restaurant specialist) confirmed. In addition, drinks are sold in PET bottles and too many menus are not even vegetarian. A blatant contradiction to the "Nutrition" exhibition, which explains how climate-damaging meat and animal products are. Not recommendable. (Original) Ich war etwa vor einem Monat da und ich war sehr enttäuscht. Umweltthemen interessieren mich sehr und ich war geschockt, was ich da antraf. Die Ausstellung erinnerte mich mehr an ein schlechtes Greenwashing an einer Messe, als an ein neutrales, sachliches Museum. Das Restaurant "Klima" wird seinem Namen kaum gerecht. Das Essen war okay, doch es war alles in allem sehr unübersichtlich und unorganisiert, was meine Mutter (eine gelernte Restaurationsfachfrau) bestätigte. Dazu kommt, dass Getränke in PET Flaschen verkauft werden und zu viele Menüs nicht einmal vegetarisch sind. Ein krasser Widersprich zur Ausstellung "Ernährung", in welcher erklärt wird, wie Klimaschädlich Fleisch und tierische Produkte sind. Nicht zu empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) 1st (Grr) The climate restaurant is really a joke. When my kids cook, it's more sustainable than what they do. There are pet bottles, a single curious vegetarian menu IKEA has more sustainability than the environmental arena. (Drinks that you can refill in glasses, etc .. A toilet with rainwater) What annoyed me the most extreme, they had two menus you could easily make vegetarian. But the ravioli are with fish and the spaghetti with meat instead of a good flavorful tomato sauce or anything else .. (If you do not know vegetarian is eco-friendly ..) 2. (Yeah) Electric Cars Driving is awesome and has made me buy an electric scooter for the place, which keeps me from getting close to the car. 3. (Hmpf) The exhibitions are all superficial and do not go a bit deep. (Original) 1. (Grr) Das Klimarestaurant ist wirklich ein Witz. Wenn meine Kinder Kochen ist es nachhaltiger als was die da machen. Es gibt Pet-Flaschen, ein einziges kurioses Vegetarisches Menü die IKEA hat mehr Nachhaltigkeit als die Umweltarena. (Getränke die man in Gläsern nachfüllen kann usw.. Eine Toilette mit Regenwasser) Was mich am extremsten nervt, sie hätten zwei Menüs gehabt die man so einfach Vegetarisch machen könnte. Aber die Ravioli sind mit Fisch und die Spaghetti mit Fleisch statt eine gute geschmacksvolle Tomatensauce oder irgend was anderes.. (Wer es nicht weiss, Vegetarisch ist umweltfreundlich..) 2. (Yeah) Elektroautos Fahren ist super und hat mich dazu bewegt ein E-Trotti für die Statt zu kaufen, was mich davon abhält mit dem Auto nahe strecken zu machen. 3. (Hmpf) Die Ausstellungen sind alle oberflächlich und gehen nicht ein bisschen in die Tiefe.

    Although it is a great idea and you learn a lot about the environment and how to protect it. But just to get there is almost impossible with an environmentally safe way. No close bus station and dangerous pedestrian crossings. But it's worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) In my opinion, the basic idea of ​​the environmental arena is a really good thing. Through various exhibitions, all topics related to environmental protection are presented, which can be easily influenced personally. There is also plenty to do for children through lots of interactive and games. Not to mention the test track in the basement, where you can test everything from e-scooters to electric cars. Unfortunately, you feel like you are at a goods fair, only without a seller. From Coop to Swisscom, Ikea and Co., it is often the large corporations that run the exhibitions and in some places that unfortunately looks like sheer advertising. Of course, all the fun has to be financed somehow and the corporations also do a lot of good things, but in my opinion, such a special project should provide more objective information and, on the whole, also represent what it tries to understand. When I start the tour on the ground floor, I am only informed that insect burgers / meat are a very environmentally friendly protein source. Halfway through, I find out that meat production is exorbitant compared to vegetables. But in the end, the chicken burger in the restaurant is cheaper than the insect or vegetarian / vegan burger. (Original) Die Grundidee der Umweltarena ist meiner Meinung nach eine wirklich gute Sache. Es werden durch verschiedene Ausstellungen alle Themen bezüglich Umweltschutz vorgestellt, auf die man persönlich leicht Einfluss nehmen kann. Auch für Kinder ist durch viel Interaktives und Spiele genug geboten. Ganz zu Schweigen von der Teststrecke im Untergeschoss, auf der man vom E-Scooter bis Elektroauto alles testen kann. Leider kommt man sich etwas vor wie auf einer Warenmesse, nur ohne Verkäufer. Von Coop über Swisscom, Ikea und Co. sind es oft die grossen Konzerne, die die Ausstellungen betreiben und das wirkt stellenweise leider sehr wie schiere Werbung. Natürlich muss der ganze Spass irgendwie finanziert werden und die Konzerne machen auch viele gute Sachen aber solch ein besonderes Projekt müsste meiner Meinung nach objektiver informieren und im ganzen auch vertreten, was es versucht zu verstehen zu geben. Wenn ich im Erdgeschoss den Rundgang beginne, werde ich erst darüber Informiert, dass Insektenburger/fleisch eine sehr Umweltschonende Proteinquelle darstellen. Nach der Hälfte erfahre ich, dass der Energieaufwand Fleischproduktion im Gegensatz zu Gemüse exorbitant ist. Aber am Ende ist der Poulet-Burger im Restaurant günstiger als der Insekten- oder Vegetarisch/Vegane Burger.

    (Translated by Google) As a museum staff member and supporter of the museum, I can only express my disappointment for the environmental arena. The exhibition looks more like an advertising platform with dozens of product placements, but unfortunately also with dozens of defective exhibits. Boredom spreads quickly, even if you are interested and have enough time. At the checkout, I had to pay more than usual because the cashier made a mistake. Instead of getting my money back, the cashier lied and preferred to blame me for allegedly confusing her. (It was only a few francs, but I never got my money back). The kids were only able to drive to the test area on the bottom floor for half an hour because the planning did not work with the closed company ... The kids were quite disappointed. When my kids got hungry and wanted lunch, we were told that postcards would not be accepted. As a result, they were finally able to leave the arena as if their stomach was growling. All in all a badly organized, family-unfriendly affair, which I would be happy to banish from my excursion list. - I would really better spend the money elsewhere .... (Original) Als Museumsmitarbeiterin und Museumsanhängerin kann ich nur meine Enttäuschung für die Umweltarena aussprechen. Die Ausstellung wirkt eher wie eine Werbeplattform mit zig Produkteplatzierungen, aber leider auch mit zig defekten Ausstellungsstücken. Langweile macht sich schnell breit, auch wenn man interessiert ist und genügend Zeit mitbringt. An der Kasse musste ich mehr bezahlen als üblich, weil die Kassiererin einen Fehler machte. Anstatt das ich mein Geld zurück bekam log die Kassiererin und gab lieber mir die Schuld, weil ich sie angeblich verwirrte. (Es handelte sich nur um ein paar Franken, dennoch bekam ich mein Geld nicht zurück). Die Teststtecke im untersten Stock konnte von den Kids nur eine halbe Stunde befahren werden, weil die Planung mit der geschlossenen Gesellschaft nicht funktionierte.... Die Kids waren ziemlich enttäuscht. Als meine Kids hungrig wurden und wir zu Mittagessen wollten, wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass Postkarten nicht akzeptiert werden. Somit durften wie mit knurrendem Magen schlussendlich die Arena verlassen. Alles in allem ein schlecht organisierte, familienunfreundliche Angelegenheit, welche ich nur zu gerne aus meiner Ausflugsliste verbanne. - Das Geld würde ich wirklich besser andersweitig ausgeben....

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the name is not the program. It clearly shows some interesting aspects, examples and successful approaches that could be of interest to the uninformed. But they don't get lost in this place ?! The bottom line is an advertising show for companies that are marketing something environmentally friendly in one of their sectors. At the latest at the large group Holcim, which glorifies its CO2-damaging building material as sustainable, the whole performance becomes unbelievable and ridiculous. Even the climate restaurant only partially meets sustainable requirements: organic tea? Wrong! It is a pity that this good idea makes the baby in front of the economy. NOT recommended for people with a real, ecological heart. (Original) Der Name ist leider nicht Programm. Klar werden einige interessante Aspekte, Beispiele und gelungene Ansätze aufgezeigt, die für Nichtinformierte von Interesse sein könnten. Aber die verirren sich wohl nicht an diesen Ort?! Unterm Strich handelt es sich um eine Werbeschau für Firmen, die in einer ihrer Sparten etwas Umweltfreundliches vermarkten. Spätestens beim Grosskonzern Holcim, der seinen CO2-schädlichen Baustoff als nachhaltig glorifiziert, wird die ganze Darbietung unglaubwürdig und lächerlich. Auch das Klima-Restaurant erfüllt nur ansatzweise nachhaltige Ansprüche: Bio-Tee? Fehlanzeige! Schade, dass diese gute Idee vor der Wirtschaft den Beugling macht. Für Menschen mit einem echten, ökologischen Herz NICHT zu empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) Marketing space for a wide variety of companies. Basically, the environmental arena is a good idea, but you notice very quickly how the whole thing was implemented. Of course, children don't notice this, but as an adult you have to be very narrow not to see it. Little green and, as I said, more of a showroom. The stay was OK but not the high flyer as often claimed. It is best to read the critical reviews. (Original) Marketingfläche für verschiedenste Unternehmen. Im Ansatz ist die Umweltarena eine gute Idee aber man merkt sehr schnell wie das ganze Umgesetzt wurde. Kinder merken dies natürlich nicht aber als Erwachsener muss man schon sehr engstirning sein um das nicht zu sehen. Wenig grün und wie gesagt eher ein Showroom. Der Aufenthalt war OK aber nicht der Überflieger wie oft behauptet. Am Besten die kritischen Rezensionen durchlesen.

    (Translated by Google) We found the environmental arena very informative with enough varied activities for our 4 year old daughter. Of course, as already written by an evaluator, it also has "advertising exhibitors". I did not find it annoying, on the contrary, it was good to learn how I can shop better or where I can better buy products. But that doesn't have to be brand-related either. It also has a small shop and restaurant. I can recommend it for families with children from infancy. (Original) Wir fanden die Umweltarena sehr informativ mit genug abwechslugsreichen Aktivitäten für unsere 4 jährige Tochter. Klar hat es wie schon von einem Bewerter geschrieben auch "Werbeaussteller". Ich fand es aber nicht störend sondern im Gegenteil gut zu erfahren, wie ich besser einkaufen oder wo ich besser Produkte beziehen kann. Das muss aber auch nicht Markengebunden sein. Es hat zudem einen kleinen Shop und ein Restaurant. Ich kann es für Familien mit Kindern ab Kleinkindalter empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) At the present time, such a facility would have to receive a flat rate of 5 stars. Many topics are presented playfully. Nevertheless, it has more museum and school character. It's not about how you should behave as close to nature as possible, but how to deal with its environment. (Original) In der heutigen Zeit müsste eine derartige Einrichtung pauschal 5 Sterne erhalten. Viele Themen werden spielerisch dargestellt. Gleichwohl hat es mehr Museums- und Schulcharakter. Es geht nicht darum, wie man möglichst naturnah sich verhalten soll, sondern wie man mit seiner Umwelt umgeht.

  • 2/5 caroline c. 2 years ago on Google
    Disappointing experience all around... We visited the arena in October 2021. I will save some time to the person reading who do not speak German, do not waste your time there. There is not a single explanation in an other english, no French, Italian or even English. Quite astonishing for a museum that is brand new.... Even the "download the app" option on the phone does not have translations So it is simple impossible to get any insight. The arena is a museum but also a conference center. So if you happen to visit the day before after or during an event well be ready for the noise of all the machinery setting up the event. Be also aware that the track where kids can try on scooters and other vehicles will be moves to... The 2 Car park. You read me well... in a car park that is cold and well depressing... The reception spontaneously offered us a -50% on our next visit when we had bought the tickets. After experiencing all this I just asked for a full refund they gave me. It could be so much better...

    Definitely recommend this place: large exhibition to learn about sustainability and the environment from all kinds of perspectives from architecture, technology, mobility and many more. You can test drive electrical vehicles from cars to bikes to Segways, this is great fun. For people of every age.

    Very little to do here. You pay a large entrance fee in order to get in, and then spend 10 minutes filling out forms in order to finally spend all of 10 minutes doing a few laps of a small track in maybe 2 different cars. The exhibits on the upper floors are done minimally, and don’t require more than 15-20 minutes to see. Overall, not worth a visit. Most telling of all was that it was almost dead empty on a rainy Saturday.

    I recently visited Umweltarena Spreitenbach, and I must say I was quite disappointed with my experience. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, there were several issues that left me with a less than favorable impression of this venue. First and foremost, it felt like the entire exhibition was heavily influenced by energy providers, giving it a somewhat biased perspective on renewable energy. I was hoping for a more balanced and educational experience, but instead, it felt like a sponsored exhibition with a singular agenda. A more impartial presentation of renewable energy would have been appreciated. Additionally, the condition of the exhibition booths was subpar. Many of them appeared outdated and dusty, clearly lacking in proper maintenance. It was disheartening to see that numerous booths were not functioning, with out-of-order stickers placed on some of them. This greatly diminished the overall experience and left me feeling like I didn't get the full value for my visit. Another major concern I had was the lack of accessibility for disabled individuals. The presence of multiple stairs leading from the parking area is not accommodating for people with mobility challenges. This oversight is disappointing and should be addressed to ensure that the Umweltarena is truly inclusive for all visitors. In conclusion, while the staff's friendliness was a positive aspect of my visit, the issues I encountered regarding biased content, the poor condition of the exhibition booths, and the lack of accessibility left me with a less than satisfactory impression of Umweltarena Spreitenbach. I hope that these concerns can be addressed to improve the overall visitor experience in the future.

    Lot's of really interesting stuff about sustainability. technologies and their combination, giving a feeling of what it takes for a sustainable life. If you want to see some of the newest technologies, this is the place. Showing the first energy independent house in Switzerland and much more. Also awesome, you can ride different kinds of electric vehicles and drive some e-cars.

  • 3/5 Christine S. 7 years ago on Google
    The place was toddler friendly, clean and has good facilities. Exhibits are mostly sponsored by companies and it is more of an ad because it lacks different views and developments that you get with at least two companies doing the same thing. If there are more companies on the same industry and delivering more views on the latest trend, developments and how they are all moving to achieve a greater purpose in sustainability, it would be much better. Food at the resto is just ok.

    (Translated by Google) The arena is actually a traveling advertising hall for various companies. For what it is, it is quite expensive and the cleanliness is not very important. Many exhibits are defective and are not being maintained. While it's interesting in a way, it's not a must. Having your own parking lot isn't cheap either, and after 4 hours it gets really expensive. We went there with the family and that was it. It's a shame, the potential is there, but the implementation has not been successful. (Original) Die Arena ist eigentlich eine reisige Werbehalle von verschiedenen Firmen. Für Das was es ist, ist es ziemlich Teuer und die Sauberkeit wird nicht sehr gross geschrieben. Viele Ausstellungsstücke sind defekt und werden nicht instand gehalten. Es ist zwar in gewisser Weise interessant, doch kein Muss.

Schade, das Potential wäre vorhanden doch die Umsetzung ist nicht gelungen.

    (Translated by Google) I can only agree with the previous speakers. We also noticed that too many things were broken, i.e. the experiment could not be carried out at all. It is a pity that this is not noticed or corrected, because the basic idea is exciting for young and old. The staff was friendly, almost a bit annoying at times because you were asked all the noses "do you have any questions?" However, the test drives in the basement were great, the staff explained well, you can't complain. Also for children it had all kinds of mobile stands to try out. But what was not possible was the food in the Klima restaurant. French fries were fried to death (takes a lot until our son no longer eats the fries), Älplermagronen arranged "artfully", but completely bland and what the mixture of balsamic vinegar and pesto was looking for, we could not fathom. It just didn't taste good. Seasoning was unsuccessful because all the spice mills were already empty on the tables ... for whatever reason. It would be nice if you could maybe use the classic recipe as a guide. Do not think we would take the path again. (Original) Ich kann mich meinen Vorrednern nur anschliessen. Uns ist ebenfalls aufgefallen dass zu viele Dinge defekt waren, sprich das Experiment gar nicht durchgeführt werden konnte. Schade dass dies nicht bemerkt oder behoben wird, der Grundgedanke ist nämlich spannend für Gross und Klein. Das Personal war freundlich, bis zum Teil fast ein bisschen lästig da man alle Nase lang angesprochen wurde "haben Sie Fragen?" Die Testfahrten im UG waren jedoch toll, das Personal hat gut erklärt, da kann man nicht meckern. Auch für Kinder hatte es alle möglichen fahrbaren Untersätze zum ausprobieren. Aber was nicht geht war das Essen im Restaurant Klima. Pommes waren zu Tode frittiert (braucht viel bis unser Sohn die Pommes auch nicht mehr isst), Älplermagronen zwar "kunstvoll" angerichtet, jedoch gänzlich fade und was das Gemisch aus Balsamico und Pesto drauf zu suchen hatten konnten wir nicht ergründen. Es hat einfach nicht geschmeckt. Nachwürzen erfolglos, da sämtliche Gewürzmühlen bereits leer auf den Tischen standen...warum auch immer. Da wäre schön wenn man sich vielleicht doch am klassischen Rezept orientieren würde. Denke nicht dass wir den Weg nochmals auf uns nehmen würden.

    (Translated by Google) All buildings should have this information and hints and be built after that ... especially recommended for all schools and families ... and as the 1st environmental arena of the world in 2000, it should necessarily be more promoted and disseminated ... and it could still be climate conscious with further hints and explanations ... The Wi-Fi is a bit slow and not everywhere ... One day you should plan for it ... (Original) Alle Bauten sollten diese Hinweise und Infos haben und danach gebaut werden ... besonders empfehlenswert auch für alle Schulen und Familien ... und als 1. Umweltarena der Welt im Jahr 2000 sollte sie unbedingt mehr gefördert und verbreitet werden ... und es könnte noch klimabewusster mit weiteren Hinweisen und Erläuterungen sein ... Das WLAN ist etwas langsam und nicht überall ... Einen Tag sollte man dafür einplanen ...

    (Translated by Google) The waiter worked quickly, cleanly and nicely. I can highly recommend the place! The location is really easy to get to! The good transport links make a visit easy to do, and I usually didn't want to share the dessert with my sister at all. We have all now learned from it and will order one dessert per person next time. (Original) Der Kellner hat schnell, reinlich und nett gearbeitet.Ich kann das Lokal sehr weiterempfehlen!Die Location ist prima einfach zu erreichen!

    Don't try the new Cold Brew Spritz.. My husband asked the waiter if it's good, she said she never had it. We paid 9.- to try but neither of us liked it.. Its a weird mix of spritz and coffe but tastes like compost shot. But they were kind and traded it to a Limonada:)

    Good concept, yet many of the interactive activities were not working. On Sunday rainy day in November it was not too many people, which made it easy to walk around and enjoy. The Klima Restaurant was incredibly slow. Seemed well staffed but clearly inefficient set up. A buffet would make much more sense, instead of seated service. With two small kids waiting 25min for the waiter to come and take the order is not a good experience. In fact we left after 25min and 3 reminders, so it may have taken even longer.
