Cap Sciences - Science Museum for Kids. Cap Science, a science museum for kids, located in a modern building in Hangar 20 on the Quai of the Garonne River, is a perfect spot for families during their trip to Bordeaux who want to combine education and fun. With its interactive exhibitions and hands-on activities, Cap Science is a great place to spend a day out with children of all ages (parents will also enjoy!).

The museum features a range of cool and engaging exhibitions such as "Disgusting Food" and currently, the Illusions exhibit, which explores the fascinating world of perception and how our brains can be fooled by optical illusions. This exhibit is a hit with kids of all ages, and adults will find it equally fascinating.

What makes Cap Science stand out is the fact that it encourages visitors to engage with the exhibits in a hands-on way. Children can experiment with different scientific principles, such as the laws of motion, light and sound, sustainable development goals, and even learn about the human body through interactive models.

The museum staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always on hand to answer any questions and help visitors get the most out of their experience. The layout of the museum is well designed, with plenty of space for children to move around and explore. There is a small cafe at the top floor to grab some coffee and light snacks, to re-fuel!
