Our Space Week finale ends with a bang. At Rocket Races, your child builds and launches a bottle rocket, then watches a Coke and Mentos geyser shoot over four metres high. Every experiment is explained in English and in French, so your child works in whichever language feels easiest.
- Date: Sunday 11 October 2026, 4:30pm to 5:20pm
- Also running: Out of This World at 2:30pm and Junior Astronaut Training at 3:30pm. They’re different sessions, and each one is booked separately, so book one, two or all three.
- Ages: 5 to 11
- Venue: The Office Charlotte, 29 Boulevard Grande-Duchesse Charlotte, L-1331 Luxembourg
- Places: limited
- Cost: €30 per child, paid when you book
What your child will do
First, your child watches a balloon rocket zoom off. Then they build their own bottle rocket and launch it. They’ll race in team rocket relays, stomp on stomp rockets and see a Coke and Mentos geyser shoot over four metres into the air. Along the way, they also learn how jet propulsion works. Every child also takes home a Junior Einsteins sticker.
Outdoors, rain or shine
Rocket Races happens in the venue’s safe outdoor space, and lab coats and goggles also stay on the whole time. If it rains, we move indoors for Bernoulli’s Flying Machines instead. Your child learns about lift, thrust, drag and gravity, sees our flying toilet paper demo and takes home their own model glider.
Atoms and Molecules
Children aged 5 to 8 sit at the Atoms table, while children aged 9 to 11 sit at the Molecules table. Even so, it’s the same session, pitched at two levels. Our older scientists also dig into real rocket facts.
Drop-off, and what we provide
Drop your child off at the start, then collect them 50 minutes later. You don’t need to stay. We provide a lab coat and safety goggles, so there’s nothing to bring. The coat and goggles stay with us when the session ends.
Spooky Science Halloween Camp
Our Spooky Science Halloween Camp is a separate holiday camp. It runs Monday 2 to Friday 6 November 2026, 9am to 1pm, at Laborartorium, 24 Rue Geespelt, 3378 Livange, which is a different venue from Science Sunday. It’s for ages 5 to 11 and it’s bilingual too. The full week costs €350, while a single morning costs €80 per child. Each single morning has its own booking link, listed on the week page.
