Until my son told me about CERN I had never really heard about it before. We were going to be…read moretraveling to the general area and after researching this place I knew that we had to go see it - and I'm so glad we did! Even though I am not particularly "techy", and I am certainly not an engineer, I do appreciate science and I found this museum absolutely fascinating. I knew it would be very popular so we decided to get there as soon as it opened on a Tuesday morning. We immediately booked the tours and had no problem securing a spot, figuring out the WiFi took a minute, but it was otherwise a smooth process. While we waited for our tour, we enjoyed exploring the interactive museum and exhibitions. There were plenty of things to see and play with along with interesting facts about it all. The tour was excellent and we were so excited to see the very first particle accelerator ever built up-close! We also got to see the operations room where all the engineers run the main accelerator. If you can get in on one of the tours I highly recommend it! My son (who is an engineering student) was thrilled about every single aspect of this place, I would have enjoyed it on my own but visiting it with people who know and understand all of it was even better!

Since most of us will never have the opportunity to visit the international space station, we will…read morebe forced to view the 2nd most impressive scientific instrument created by humanity, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and be marveled at the ingenuity and sheer gumption of humanity in creating something so magnificent as to understand fundamental aspects of our universe's creation then open the door to new mysteries we had never conceived. You'll be toured by an actual CERN Physicist who will answer any and all questions while taking you everywhere except 100m below the earth to see the actual LHC, but the models, the hands on experiments, and knowledge that no matter where you are in the Geneva area you're probably closer than you think as that massive instrument has a 27km circumference. You'll leave with a sense of wonder at the knowledge we've collectively gained about our universe in just our lifetimes and then feel your brain melt imagining what the next few decades, with our advances in compute, will bring.
