Family Days in Advent and vacation program

(Linz, December 9, 2024) On the third weekend of Advent the Ars Electronica Center invites you to the Family Days (December 14–15). Under the motto “Winterwunderzauber” (Winter Wonder Magic), families with children aged four and up can discover guided tours and exciting hands-on stations throughout the museum. Unique Deep Space experiences and tours are again guaranteed during the Christmas school vacations.

Get active during Family Days

In the open workshop “LED (b)it snow”, a snow flurry is programmed with a microcontroller (8-11 years), in the Kids’ Research Laboratory, the themed light container is opened and a colorful play of colors is discovered (4-8 years), while on a family tour, knowledge stations and artistic works are put to the test together – all this is possible during the Family Days (December 14–15). At the heart of all the activities is the question: How can we address the burning issues of our time in a targeted and sustainable way?
