Experimentorium is Georgia’s only interactive science museum, tucked behind the Parliament building on Pavle Ingorokva Street in Tbilisi’s Sololaki district, and it draws families and school groups with a straightforward promise: touch, push, and test your way through physics and chemistry rather than reading about them behind glass (source: [Experimentorium](https://www.experimentorium.ge/en/)).
The museum packs roughly 60 hands-on exhibits into its halls, covering mechanics, optics, electricity, and sound through levers, mirrors, and pressure chambers that kids operate themselves (source: [Experimentorium](https://www.experimentorium.ge/en/)). A dedicated chemistry lab lets visitors run supervised reactions, and staff run a live science show mixing combustion, air pressure, and basic chemistry tricks into a stage performance that pulls in even reluctant teenagers. The atmosphere stays loud and physical rather than quiet and contemplative, which is the point: every station rewards poking at buttons and cranking handles over passive observation. Signage runs bilingual, in Georgian and English, making it workable for international visitors and expat families alike.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Arrive on weekday mornings to skip school-holiday crowds, since weekends and Georgian public holidays pull in large family groups and the chemistry lab sessions fill up quickly. The location sits a short walk from Freedom Square and the Parliament building, so pair a visit with a stroll through Sololaki’s older streets. Budget 90 minutes to two hours to cover the exhibits and catch a science show, and check timing for the live demonstrations before buying tickets, since they run on a fixed schedule rather than continuously.
