The Newton Park in Karpenissi, Greece, is a unique outdoor theme park museum that blends education with entertainment. As the first open-air educational park in Greece focused on science, physics, and mathematics, it offers a fascinating and interactive experience for visitors of all ages.
Facilities
The Newton Park boasts a wide variety of activities for all ages. It’s an open-air museum focused on physical science, but it’s far from boring. With over 65 different games, exhibits, and unique interactive devices, learning comes through play.
Kids can explore Newton’s laws, such as “every action has an equal and opposite reaction,” or try lifting 100 kg with Archimedes’ multisplit. They can also convert energy just by riding a bike, demonstrating how chemical energy turns into kinetic, mechanical, and finally electrical energy.
Other fun challenges include the Pendulum Wave, optical illusions, and puzzles that teach balance and physics concepts. For younger children, there’s a fenced area with peacocks, hens, rabbits, and a kiddie train for extra fun.
