Due to the current corona situation, the opening of the BIOTOPIA Lab to the public is postponed.
However, you can still experience the Lab from now on: The BIOTOPIA team is working on digital and analog formats, experiments and DIY concepts with great commitment to bring you hands-on science to your home until the opening. "BIOTOPIA Lab @ Home" wants to arouse interest in scientific contexts and give you a small foretaste of the activities in the BIOTOPIA Lab - from the bottle garden or your own mushroom cultivation for home-use to the isolation of DNA from vegetables and fruits. We also plan to take a look behind the scenes of the lab with the lab experts, which hopefully will make you look forward to your visit in the near future!
Do you want to research yourself and discover exciting things from science and nature? Then you have come to the right place with our open programs in the BIOTOPIA Lab.
A voluntary advance reservation of max. 5 tickets (one hour each) are possible via eventbrite. You can also just drop by - we keep spaces free for the running audience.
The open drop in programs will initially only take place on weekends.
To comply with the corona protective measures, we are limiting the number of places in the BIOTOPIA Lab. Please bring your masks with you and understand if you have to wait a bit at peak times.
We always pay attention to compliance with the applicable hygiene regulations.
In our hygiene concept (in German) you can find detailed information about regular operations, educational program and events.
With our virtual reality flight simulator "Birdly" you can fly over the most beautiful landscapes of Bavaria and become a bird.
Depending on availability, the Birdly can be tried out Thursdays and Fridays from 1pm to 4pm and on weekends / public holidays during opening hours. If the demand is high, you may have to wait a little. Use this time to explore the other areas of the BIOTOPIA Lab!
We look forward to a voluntary donation for the use of the Birdly.

Isolate the DNA of a banana and learn about the building blocks of life.
Come into the world of mushrooms and discover how to use them to dye wool or start your own mushroom cultivation.
A slimy biofilm turns into a paper or leather-like material. The symbiosis of bacteria and yeasts not only creates a tasty drink but also a new material with which we can experiment.
