The Family Tour is an eventful excursion through the Ars Electronica Center. Young and old alike get interesting insights into our high-tech world as well as the outlook for our future. One stop along the way will be in RoboLab, where you’re sure to have fun interacting with a telecommunications android and a Japanese baby seal robot. In FabLab, you can get hands-on experience with a 3-D printer.
Deep Space Family

A program jam-packed with fun family-friendly features is on tap this weekend Deep Space, where no fewer than eight projectors paint breathtaking high-definition 16×9-meter imagery across the floor and wall. “Uniview for Kids” invites young people to embark on a three-dimensional journey across the universe. In “Fantasia 3-D – Interactive Worlds of Play,” you can draw fish in an aquarium and then bring them to life, or save a colorful South Sea island from a wicked pirate! If adrenaline kicks are what you’re after, “X-treme Sports” have got you covered with in-your-face footage of death-defying skydivers, mountain bikers and skiers.
