Clore Garden of Science<br />
Free visit to the Clore Garden of Science (throughout May 18)<br />
Free-entry, guided tour.<br />
During the International Museum Day, the garden is open to visitors, free of charge.<br />
The Clore Garden of Science is an entirely outdoor science museum. It was designed to bring people of all ages<br />
closer to science in all its fascinating aspects. The Garden enables the visitor to experience science through<br />
interactive exhibits that demonstrate the principles and natural phenomena that influence our life. The Clore<br />
Garden of Science spans 8000 square meters, all under the open sky. Natural elements such as sunlight, wind,<br />
and water play an important part in many of the Garden's hands-on displays. The designers of the Garden took<br />
advantage of the unique dimensions of the outdoor setting, and built exhibits as tall as 20 meters.<br />
Experimenting and activating the exhibits is one of the great pleasures awaiting visitors to the Clore Garden of<br />
Science.<br />
