Although the CERN campus is closed for two weeks as usual, CERN Science Gateway will be open during the end-of-year break!

This is a great opportunity to visit our interactive exhibitions, view the CERN movies, attend a science show (once a day), a lab workshop (twice a day) or visit our temporary exhibition Curious Connections in the Globe of Science and Innovation with your family and friends. Our shop and the Big Bang Café are also open. Remember to check the programme to help plan your visit.

No need to book: simply show up at our reception, register on the online app (exclusively available on-site) and off you go!

Please note that guided tours will not be available between Friday, 20 December 2024 and Monday, 6 January 2025 inclusive as access to the CERN sites will be restricted during that period.

We will be closed on 23, 24, 25, 30, 31 December 2024 as well as on 1, 4, 5 and 6 January 2025.
