In the Middle Volga region of Russia is a large city with a million population - Samara.

About the complex

The complex "Galileo" (park, Samara) was opened in August 2015. Here, the visitors are shown various "miracles" based on the laws of physics, chemistry and mathematics. Refraction of light at different angles and focus creates amazing effects, adults and children are shown in action of the forces of attraction and inertia, chemical reactions give an unexpected result ... All processes and effects are accompanied by comments and explanations of the staff of the complex. They simply and easily explain what is actually happening and why this or that illusion is created.

In an exciting form, visitors remember the school course of physics and mathematics, and also learn a lot of new things for themselves. Not only children, but also adults with great pleasure visit this complex.

Amazing rooms, labyrinths and transitions

What is waiting for visitors in the Galileo complex? The park (Samara) represents a lot of different rooms, halls, junctions with entertaining puzzles and puzzles. And all this with unusual effects and optical illusions. There is also a mirror labyrinth, a room with musical instruments, a chemical laboratory and many other interesting places.

Of great interest is the room with technical wonders: a singing bench, Keller's funnel, a bicycle that can "lose weight" in five minutes, a heat gun that shoots a stream of air.

And how many impressions there are of visiting the room, where a real labyrinth is created with the help of mirrors! Independently to get out of it it is possible to the little: often after wanderings within 15-20 minutes it is necessary to ask the help from employees. It is recommended to walk with arms outstretched so as not to hit the mirror wall ...

Other interesting places in the complex

Unforgettable impressions leave:

• Ames room is a room with visual effects. If 2 people enter it and stand in certain places, then the viewer will seem that one of them turned into a giant, and the other into a dwarf.
• A dark labyrinth - it's not very difficult to pass it.
• Room with a ghost - on the wall hangs an unusual picture, which depicts Count Dracula. As a vampire does, it is not reflected in the mirror opposite.
• "Vanishing cupboard" - if you enter the room, then the person "disappears" the body, only the head remains visible, as if he threw an invisibility cloak over his shoulders. Such an amazing effect is achieved with the help of a cunning system of mirrors.
• An exhibition with the ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, Wood, Ames, Einstein and other outstanding scientists.
