INDOOR ACTIVITY
What to do when it rains in Bordeaux
A fully indoor activity inside Cap Sciences that does not depend on the weather and can be booked the day before.
See available slotsThe real advantage
A plan B that is not a plan B
Many indoor activities are endured rather than chosen when the weather turns. Here the weather simply does not enter the equation: the room is sheltered inside Hangar 20, and the adventure takes place somewhere else anyway — in the cosmos.
It is also an outing you can decide on late. Slots are booked online, including the day before, which makes it a realistic solution when the weekend forecast turns bad on Friday evening.
The session lasts 40 minutes: 10 minutes of welcome and briefing, then 30 minutes of immersion. From age 8, up to 16 players in the same adventure.

Why it works on a rainy day
Four concrete reasons
Fully indoors
Nothing happens outside: rain has no effect on how the session runs or on its quality.
Bookable the day before
Slots can be taken online at the last minute, once the weather is finally certain.
Up to 16 people
A whole group fits on the same slot: extended family, group of friends, an improvised outing.
In the Bassins à flot
Inside Cap Sciences, Hangar 20, quai de Bacalan — a cultural venue where you can extend the visit if the downpour lasts.

What you actually do during those 40 minutes
The Echo of the Universe takes you from the solar system to the far reaches of the cosmos: Mars and its impact craters, the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, the birth of stars, supermassive black holes.
You do not stay seated. With a wireless headset on, you genuinely walk around the play area, with the other players around you. That is what sets the experience apart from a trip to the cinema — and what makes it worthwhile even when you came reluctantly because it was raining.
