Experymentarium

What Experymentarium does

Experymentarium operates a Discovery Center venue on the first floor of the Manufaktura shopping complex in Łódź, Poland, combining an interactive science exhibition with laser tag and VR entertainment. The stationary science exhibition consists of approximately 70 hands-on stations covering physics, biology, and related disciplines (e.g., Crookes' Mill, Descartes' Diver, Newton's Cradle), allowing visitors to experiment independently. The Arena Laser Games subsystem is a roughly 250 m² themed laser maze using WiFi-controlled laser guns and sensor-equipped vests with real-time scoring, capped at 16 players per session. A separate VR zone (Gogle VR) provides headset-based simulation, music, arcade, shooter, projection, and escape-room experiences sold in 15–60 minute blocks. A fourth revenue line consists of a Mobile Interactive Exhibition that travels to cities across Poland, replicating the science exhibits in temporary venues.

The company is a sole proprietorship (Experymentarium Tomasz Kuliś) founded on 4 July 2016, with about 11 employees and management covering operations, deputy operations, and marketing. Its customer base spans individual consumers (families, children, tourists, students, seniors) via walk-ins and online ticket sales; organized groups (schools, kindergarten through high school classes, youth organizations) at discounted per-person rates; corporate clients for team-building, arena hire, and full exhibition organization services; and private event organizers running stag/hen parties and birthdays. Birthday packages come in two formats — the all-inclusive 'Full Wypas' (from 140 PLN/person with animator, décor, catering, cake, pizza, and two attractions) and the modular 'Na Miarę' (from 54 PLN/person) — each requiring a 200 PLN deposit.

Monetization is almost entirely transactional ticket and time-based pricing in PLN, ranging from 15 PLN for a 15-minute VR session to 1,000 PLN/hour for private arena hire, plus educational workshops at 36–38 PLN per person and a Discovery Shop retail line for interactive toys, puzzles, and 3D-printed products. Distribution combines on-site box office, an online ticketing e-commerce flow (currently paused for tickets but active for vouchers) routed through Tpay, direct enterprise sales for mobile exhibitions and corporate events, and festival/event appearances. Marketing relies on Facebook and Instagram, organic SEO, a creator/influencer collaboration program, and a network of discount-card and partner co-marketing relationships (Manufaktura, PFR, Karta Łodzianina, Karta Dużej Rodziny, Benefit Systems, Teatr Arlekin, Uniwersytet Łódzki, and others). The company secured non-dilutive EU co-financing of about 340,870.58 PLN under the 'Nauka w ruchu' (Science in Motion) program to support its mobile exhibition rollout.

Direct peers

• Centrum Nauki Kopernik: Poland's flagship interactive science center in Warsaw, operating hundreds of hands-on exhibits and a Heavens of Copernicus planetarium. Direct comparable in product (hands-on science museum), audience (families, school groups, tourists), and business model (ticket sales, workshops, retail, venue hire).
• Laserhouse: Polish laser tag entertainment chain with multiple indoor arenas offering multiplayer laser games. Direct competitor to Experymentarium's Arena Laser Games sub-brand in product (laser tag arenas), pricing model (per-session), and audience (groups, parties, corporate events).
• Centrum Nauki Experyment: Interactive science center in Gdynia operating permanent and traveling exhibitions of hands-on exhibits for children and families. Closely comparable to Experymentarium in offering (interactive science stations), target audience (school groups, families), and educational programming.

Emerging players

• Let Me Out: Polish escape room chain operating themed puzzle rooms for groups, parties, and corporate team-building. Comparable in offering experiential, group-oriented entertainment under time-block pricing, and in serving similar celebration and corporate event use cases as Experymentarium's occasional events and laser tag.

Regional players

• Tkalnia Zagadek: Escape room and puzzle venue in Łódź, listed as an Experymentarium partner. Comparable as a local experiential entertainment venue targeting families and groups in the same Łódź catchment, with overlapping use cases for stag/hen parties and group bookings.
• Teatr Arlekin: Łódź puppet theater with a long-running program of children's shows, listed as an Experymentarium partner.

Broad incumbents

• EC1 – Miasto Kultury: Major science and cultural center in Łódź (former power plant converted to cultural venue) hosting interactive science exhibitions, planetarium, and educational programming. Comparable in city, educational mission, and family audience, but operates at significantly larger scale and as a public institution rather than a private entertainment venue.

Adjacent peer in the indoor family/adventure entertainment category with overlapping audience (parties, corporate groups) and similar per-session ticket pricing.
