Sci·sense science venue
Sci·sense was founded in 2022 and is located in the center of Chania, near Eleftherias Square (Dikastiria). More than 100 interactive physics experiments are divided into seven "routes" – seven different visits, spatially divided based on four of our senses. The experiments are designed to engage both children and adults. The name comes from the words science and sense, where "sense" embodies both our capacity to feel and our quest to understand the wonders of science. Each route is a personal experience, a journey of discovery of the world around us, ourselves, and our interaction with it. Sci·sense is a blend of guided tours and personal experience in an innovative and entertaining way, where you can experiment with your friends or children, and time flies as you embrace the joy of learning and the wonder of discovery.
