EXPLORiT Loisirs & Découvertes Yverdon-les Bains in Yverdon-les-Bains

It is a pretty charming place where you can learn and play and have fun with your family and friends. Near the canal, you have small boats and terraces on sunny, warm summer days. Very enjoyable. 🤗💙

Lack of maintenance at the sciencity exhibition attractions... restaurants far too expensive... And no more hot dogs at 1:00 p.m.... frankly total lack of seriousness

The building is left to interference! It’s a shame because the structure is magnificent, what is the management doing? The premises are dirty! Poorly maintained, some installations are dangerous with particles for children, cables lying around, emergency stop buttons not accessible, the infamous kitchen! Here are two stars to encourage you to take control of the premises and your staff, because it is simply shameful!

Beautiful building with a warm, spaced out interior, made up of niches where you can sit down to have a drink or enjoy some food. In a row, several lounges where you can sit to work, network or relax.

Very nice place.... we were there for work in the upper rooms and a lot of dust on the furniture..... as long as we reserve we can dust

Beautiful leisure center with fair prices, we have already been to the cinema and there we went to Prison Island, great activity with the children and very friendly staff, I recommend!

Explorit wants to be a futuristic place but... it's not possible on their site to have cinema tickets at student prices... and it's not as if the problem had never been raised... if a student wants to be sure of having his place, he must pay adult...

Nice room but the cleanliness clearly leaves something to be desired, this is not the first time unfortunately…

Cinema room, it’s a really cool place

Very nice building for a stroll on a Saturday with an outside place to have a coffee and eat crepes *closes early and games for children, beautiful wooden access ramp where children can let off steam... But that's all, or maybe the cinestudio to test. However, driving more than 30 minutes and paying 75 chf for a family with 2 children is not worth it! Even if access to 2 parks. The only interesting place for children is the ball pool and a water game. There is nothing really "scientific" rather a sort of museum with a few physical strength type stations to test but nothing crazy. No staff inside the parks to manage, as lots of broken, damaged things are abandoned, it's a very shame...

Great service, thank you very much!

Lovely welcoming setting, disappointed by the price-quality ratio, with our 2 young children arriving in the games area 😪several touch screens do not work! Including 1 screen impossible to change the language! Too bad it could be informative...but we didn't understand anything! The science area, the fan experiment deserves to renew the half-broken cups! When we go to such a place to learn with Our little ones 💜 everything should be functional!

Very good cinema and excellent place to entertain the children, I recommend it to everyone

Beautiful themed cinema room. Pretty stylish center, stairs and view, nice bar at the top for different board games, colder downstairs. The center to be more alive is beautiful.

Beautiful, well decorated cinema room!

Great location for all ages. The children learn through play. The big highlight for the little ones is the river in which you can build dams, the brick house, the composite system and the body parts. The older children can generate electricity in various ways, influence volcanic eruptions, land on the moon and steer a large ship.

Very friendly place. The architecture of the place is modern.

Pretty. Very good concept, too bad the attractions are not working. But it's a really good idea to bring discovery to young and old alike.

Top place, professional waiter and bartender excellent cocktails, thanks to Damien for his exceptional service

I like the atmosphere and the cinemas are perfect, not too big

I deplore the cleanliness of the place which really leaves something to be desired. At least for room 1: The Living Room. Trash can at the entrance which is overflowing, popcorn in abundance between the aisles of seats and on the seats, bottle holder between the seats full of ice paper and others.... In short, you have to do a little cleaning to get on a seat that isn't too dirty. Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened. At Fr 18.90 per session, it hurts...

26 cells to work your brain and your muscles a little.... Very fun to do with teams of colleagues of all ages. Possibility of doing a good debriefing, at the end of the activity, over an aperitif, at the bar or in a lounge.... You won't see the time passing!

2 adults and 2 children, 78chf... If the maintenance was suitable why not. But here, it's shameful. The state of this place is unacceptable, 40% of the activities are closed, everything is dirty. I advise against.

22 francs adult and 16 francs child. abandoned. scam, they should return the money. The photos are very clear…

Cinema halls are not cleaned between screenings. Packets of candy and popcorn on the floor on the seats. Given the price and the standard of the rooms, it’s a shame

Abandonned! Unacceptable for the price. We came with our children 1 year ago, we had a lot of fun with the multitude of experiences and games for the children and discoveries for us parents. We came back today as a family with friends... what a disappointment! Many things are broken, the majority of games or experiences no longer work. The water play platform was really great and fun with the foam, but nothing works anymore, not enough water, the little that remains goes wrong. Broken sockets with exposed wires. In all 9 workshops were defective!

22.- entry per person! And most of the “posts” are broken, damaged, and dirty! Organization is not the strong point 2 hours to be served at the restaurant and more than an hour to get the bill! A bit of a shame because the complex is just incredible, and it could be a great place if it was a little maintained!

Terrible maintenance... for the price I am downright disappointed. I came a year or so ago, I had very good memories of it but then... a lot of things are broken or simply don't work on the science side. On the children's side, the water with which they play smells like sewage and is not enough to play properly. Honestly, we would have thought we were in France: we invest everything at the beginning and then we let it deteriorate while maintaining the minimum. Really, I don't recommend (especially given the price!)

Arriving in front of the building we try to park in the outdoor car park which is in a deplorable state! Parking lot that seems built on a vacant lot with incredible potholes and flooded! No space. So I'm looking for another parking lot...the directions to find them leave something to be desired. We finally park. First time with my 2 daughters to see a film. To get the entry tickets it was already the Bronx. I arrive at one of the cash registers and I am told that they don't take cash!?! OK I pay with the card. We enter one of the small rooms. Very cute. Around 60 places. Once the movie starts the lights in the theater don't turn off completely and the stairs that show the exit if needed flicker for a good portion of the movie which was disgusting. When the lights were completely turned off, including the stairs, the film was well underway. The sound was not good. My daughters and I had to put on our jackets after 30 minutes of watching the film. The room was barely heated or even not at all. Several people did the same. First really disappointing experience. I won't go back there again.

Fun experience of scientific discoveries with children and a diverse and fun playground.

We went to the cinema this evening, room 2. The atmosphere is nice in this setting of colored crystals. On the other hand, 115 minutes of film in an under-heated room is a very unpleasant experience, we didn't take off our jackets, came out freezing with runny noses, there's even better! We do not want to renew, under these conditions!

A friendly and efficient place to organize a corporate event

Great with children and lots of very well thought out activities! We loved it !

We got kicked out last night, we certainly hadn't reserved but had been at a table for 2 hours eating, then the waiter came to tell us to leave... it wasn't marked reserved... on the other hand he had no solution to offer us to stay.. 1 hour later several tables available.. but what is this management.. We will not come back!

Good atmosphere and friendly server

I love this building used for cinema, and for karaoke 🎤 Great atmosphere 🙂

The chef remains to be desired, for me he does not know how to cook and does not dare come out to apologize when he has done badly but hides in his kitchen, not at all professional, you have to change if you want that it works. Otherwise the rest is fine.

Great leisure and business center. Lots of cinemas, well decorated and nice bar! 😄

Frankly disappointed with the animation with Santa Claus... paid entry to see him (that's even 22.- per adult and 16.- per child) and so that in the end he barely stops around the children. Honestly, the magic of Christmas isn't what it used to be, you might as well do nothing!

The pitiful catering service for end-of-year box dinners even in prison eats better. Fortunately there are fast food restaurants nearby. If there are 0 stars I will but them.

Everything is broken. No maintenance was done.

Expensive, dirty, not well received, no intermission,

A pleasant place... and with at least Curious Architecture... But with a "tiny" Parking for the Existing Commercial Area... and to Pay (the machine sometimes doesn't even work) Apparently it recently has a Novo park but you have to walk a little... and if you go shopping or in bad weather 😖😖😖🙄

Poorly managed and dirty. It looks like an old abandoned center. How can you make a building and spaces so beautiful, and manage them so poorly?

Half of the things on the site are no longer false advertising

The idea is very nice and the exhibition is TOP. On the other hand, the service is totally deplorable, whether at the cinema, in the restaurant or at the creperie, it's the same. Poorly organized staff who seem overwhelmed by having to record and serve an order. It's a shame because the infrastructure and the place are very beautiful. Because of the service I am removing 2 stars. Sorry.

I only give it a 3 because despite a great idea, the kindercity and the sciencity have a lot of broken or non-functional modules. I think it's a shame given the price of entry and parking.

1:30 p.m. cinema screening (10/29) for children at Explorit: the sound is way too loud! For adults it wasn't pleasant, so it was almost torture for the youngest. As many of us have complained about it, let’s hope that changes!

On October 15, we came for the 8:30 p.m. movie - the Creator. There were 8 of us in the room for this film, after 40 minutes there was a technical problem and the film would start to glitch and we could no longer continue watching it. There was no one at the checkout to teach us, and finally everyone left the room around 10 p.m. This was unacceptable for the quality of the film and the service. I subsequently contacted the cinema twice to request a refund of tickets, no return so far. A disappointing experience 😬😤

Half the things are broken or not working or off!!! And the price and full price, just scandalous. This is the last time we're going there...

The architecture is extraordinary, on the other hand the infrastructure is dated and often out of service (broken or not working) for the price of entry I think we could do better. I was really disappointed and I don't think I'll come back.

Great place with lots of activities to do I recommend

I went to see it while having a drink downstairs with my child. The design is nice. There were classes visiting at that time, it was awful the noise of shouting etc which echoed throughout the central space. Maybe try the restaurant one day... The burgers are not sold inside, but in a food truck further away, outside the building...

Abandonned! Unacceptable for the price. We came with our children 2 years ago, we had a lot of fun with the multitude of experiences and games for the children and discoveries for us parents. We came back today as a family with friends... what a disappointment! Many things are broken, the majority of games or experiences no longer work. The water play platform was really great and fun with the foam, but nothing works anymore, not enough water, the little that remains goes wrong. Broken sockets with exposed wires. For CHF 54.- (2 adults and 1 paying child), it is very disappointing, we will not come back.

Disappointed by our family outing at Explorit: for 54.- for 2 adults and 1 child, the activities offered are outdated and often out of service. No more animator to explain the different experiments to be carried out. Really a shame, because it was a very beautiful park in its early days!

TOTAL disappointment. Many of the children's games are broken and dirty. Really too expensive for what I know. Avoid at all costs.

I'm putting a new notice here in addition to the one specific to Cinestudio in the hope that this will shake things up. Sunday October 8, 3:30 p.m.: As the Paw Patrol session was never able to start, the entire room was asked to leave. Technical problem. It happens but 45 minutes in a blur with young children freewheeling only to be told "move on, there's nothing to see". I hope at least that the refund will be made without fuss. Otherwise pretty themed rooms but insufficient staff. Update: I am moving the rating to just 1 star. despite 3 emails, still no response 4 days later. This is a blatant lack of respect for customers!

Super cinema, conference room and cocktail bar with great aperitifs

Very complicated access for people with reduced mobility. We open the doors almost 15 minutes before. The rush is running for places

Haven't been able to test the 2 exhibitions yet because they are still under construction, but the cinema studios with the thematic rooms are very cool. The architecture of the building is worth a look. However, I do not recommend the Nomade restaurant located at its end because they serve stale bread...

Wonderful place to relax during rainy days

Great place to spend it with the family. We were with our 15 month old daughter and our goddaughter and her 6 and 11 year old sister. Everyone had a great time and we parents enjoyed it too. Upstairs there is a games bar which allows you to choose board games for an additional CHF3.50 in addition to drinks. An escape room is also there. Brilliant concept and very diverse board games in large quantities (some rarely seen elsewhere).

Nice exhibition to do with children... it's a shame that the children's games are poorly maintained... on the other hand the floor which talks about the planets and solar expeditions are very interesting

A mix between business center and leisure park. We were scouting for a future visit with a small child. On the other hand, the architecture is interesting and the cafeteria is pleasant.

Cinema room. Small and too air-conditioned. And as for.meal.points....it's average

We went to the cinema but what was our surprise when we discovered the room... in fact we paid an 18.- ticket to be in a room with a maximum of 20 seats and where we were very poorly placed, plus the screen was really small... might as well watch a movie on a TV... the decor leaves something to be desired. I do not recommend!

In Switzerland, we must show something much better than that. Too expensive and too small. For me it's a scam. Absolutely not worth going there. A waste of time. The next day I went to Zurich Zoo, I paid less than Explorit, I spent more time there and I had a lot more fun. How do you justify this price? To ban this type of activity.

Was quite hyped about the place at first, but it faded away quickly after a few visits. Atmosphere is cold, especially in the evening. The cinema and the board game bar are good tho.

Parking spaces and a large place full of everything you want and need.

Very nice place, full of activities

I am going to Explorit accompanied with my children without looking at the price on the site with confidence... For an adult and a child of 5 years old 38.-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fortunately the little brother is free.... the siencity (another English word is more fun! eh...) great but the kindcity... I still haven't understood the concept... a a little human body, a bit of semi-precious stone... uh a crane and a cow... what's that doing there... no cohesion of the theme with a Japanese rabbit. a little ferric a little scientific... Uh but what is the theme???!!! All in very poor condition.. hello the wear and tear of the installations... At this price... once but not twice !!!! Fortunately there is a denner to offset the cost of everything! once again... no cohesion! Afterwards we are surprised that it doesn't work but I laugh!

Has some things that don't work properly or at all. We still stayed for almost 4 hours (children 6 and 8). Is rather expensive.

Kindercity completely dilapidated, almost no activities are completely functional, they are all half broken, turned off or discharged. No maintenance. And completely overpriced. They seem to be on the verge of bankruptcy...

The kids loved it. Great for an afternoon of fun and interactive play

1st week of school holidays. I decide to take my children to the cinema. A computer problem prevents the sale of tickets. Too bad not to find a solution to sell tickets. The sales program is not linked to the launch of a film, right? it would have been easy to do a manual checkout or use another checkout to serve customers. Once again, this gives the feeling that this center, although it is recent, is not running smoothly. A mishap had already happened to me when I arrived at the cash register and had to queue for tickets and one for snacks. I buy the snacks and I want to take my tickets: full film even though nothing indicates it on the screens above.... in short, 2nd bad experience

The center is magnificent but poorly managed with a denner inside it is unthinkable that the businesses operate as they should. I think there is a lack of a cleaning system since everything seems abandoned! Potential gray. Super expensive parking for a vacant lot without asphalt. A real shame

Great, perfect welcome and explanations, the best way to spend a little time!!!

Good service, service and nice cocktail.

Interesting things to discover but some activities didn't work. Exterior was not open which is a shame. Some improvements would be welcome!

Waiting 30 minutes before going to the cash register to ask to start the film because the whole room was fed up with the ads. It makes no sense. The worst thing was the image quality which is terrible and the sound is very low. Rebollote, another customer will scream because the sound is bad and the quality too. In short, go to Pathé for the same price

The place is very suitable for an afternoon with family or friends. There is a children's area, a games bar for older children and escape rooms. A bar is available at the foot of the building, on the ground floor. The atmosphere is warm and friendly but noisy. It must be said that 4 floors under ceiling which in reality is 6 floors is a bit like hell as there are children running around in the main structure. The latter is very impressive by the way.

Unfortunately there are a lot of experiments that don't work.

Nice but no food, there was no cook... A bit shameful for a weekend of climbing. But the place remains cool and impressive.

Came several times to watch films at the cinema.... No popcorn or an interminable wait to get some, movies on the line (6 p.m. movie, at 6:03 p.m. the previous movie ended and no cleaning is done). This isn't the first time this has happened and given the price of the tickets, a minimum of hygiene wouldn't hurt!!! The seats were clearly disgusting and the floor littered with trash. Still very disappointed with the services, it's a shame, the concept was very good...

Of course, the seats are comfortable like at home but hey, for more than 50 francs per family session the room was just disgusting! Waste and food from the session which ends 1 minute before the next… obviously the cleaning is simply not done! Sorry but it's a shame not the first but the last time at your house. ABE

The staff is disrespectful, I'm disappointed, lousy

Cinema: film announced in room 3 on the tickets when it was in room 4. We missed 30 minutes of the film, several people left. Written complaint email with the contact form, received zero response to date!

Excellent concept with incredible potential BUT interior AND exterior spaces with a real lack of maintenance and cleanliness. Dirty outdoor play areas (papers+++, empty bottles+++). Unemptied trash cans, overflowing into the environment, don't make you want to come back. No combination possible with possible discount, for cinema + exhibitions, too bad.

It is a magical place where you forget your worries. There is always something to see and observe and their cinema is so... atypical. Pure pleasure

Full price for half the things/presentations that work! Too bad there is no maintenance... there would be potential...

Nice place to spend some time with family but not incredible either. The Kindercity space quickly gets boring, we quickly got around it, Sciencity is more attractive with a few things to move or turn, it's quite fun. The cinema is quite good, the decor of the room is very pretty and the sound is really good! It's just a shame that the first rows aren't a little inclined, if you sit in front, your neck quickly hurts. And no popcorn during our last visit, that was clearly not cool 😢

The place is really very nice, unfortunately the drinks, from the bar in the center of the building, are a little expensive.

Top cinemas. Take tickets online because at the cash desk it is very poorly organized. The cashier must do the ticketing and snacks. Otherwise you have to arrive well in advance

Not too maintained, a lot of broken things, no one on site to help or answer a question and very expensive in the end for what it is...

Honestly, I thought it was great. I spent the day there with my 8 year old grandson and he was delighted (sciencity and kindercity). It's super interesting and fun. The staff is super friendly.....Maybe a little expensive but otherwise no complaints

Great for spending an evening with family or friends! 'Great choice' beer bar and great board games and concert and very friendly service 👌😍

The concept is nice but the children's exhibition lacks maintenance and the outdoor games also.

First time at the Explorete cinema. I was skeptical because I came with my children to explorite and I found it expensive and half of the activities offered in the discovery rooms did not work. But then the cinema, thanks for the joke, nothing to eat, popcorn machine out of order, no M&Ms, or anything. Just a few poor ice creams! Very disappointed, especially at 18.- per ticket and without an intermission. I don't understand how the management is done! It doesn't seem so complicated to me to store packets of popcorn, chips, or other items (non-perishable foods), especially since there's a Denner across the street!!! It would be great to restore order to this new concept, because unfortunately we hear a lot of bad criticism when there is potential...

Nice concept, great activities offered in particular in the Kindercity and Sciencity spaces. However, a large number of small defects (breakdowns, buttons that only work partially, etc.) which prevent us from taking full advantage of it. At CHF 22.- per adult entry, the pill is average

Good but mixed experience. First of all, the price is frankly high for the content. The Sciencity exhibition is interesting but a bit cluttered and seems poorly finalized. We don't really understand the common thread and it often lacks explanation. We also feel the sposoring too strongly. Kindercity: very nice for children. Very fun and varied games. But lack of care and cleanliness is not the best.
