Very impressive to the Synchrocyclotron and ATLAS particle detector. The was very skilled and enthusiastic! A great experience! I was impressed by the audio-video presentation on the 600-MeV Synchrocyclotron (SC) 🤩. It was fascinating to learn about CERN's first accelerator, operational since 1957 ✨. This machine was crucial for early particle and nuclear physics research 🔬. A truly enlightening experience! 💡 A fascinating piece of of science. Great explanations, by a technician of one of the CERN experiments. The procedure for inscription should be reviewed. On autumn Is new visitor's center will open and offer more information. The first stop of the guided is to one of the first particle accelerators. In addition to a very interesting video about the of CERN, there is a "light show" describing how the accelerator works by projecting the functionalities on the various components of the actual accelerator. Amazing! Absolutely amazing CERN is. So much to do and learn. It's possible to do a guided visit, which it's very interesting. Be aware CERN will be close in 2026 due to renovation and building. CERN is an amazing place where micro and macro collides together and show us who we are, where we come from, and where we will go 💫💥☀️🌍⭐🌠⚠️☢️⚛️ If you're into science/physics, this is a very cool place. It's part of the you can get at CERN. They go through some great of those place and also how this came to be. They do a good job of overlaying the graphics on top of the actual machine so you can see the "inside". Pretty cool. If you're going to CERN to visit, sign up for the for sure. was magnificent. The from conception to now was clearly and nicely presented, as well as how the synchrocylotron worked and how it compares to its later models. Great of CERN with a great guide. He is a doctoral student, excited about physics and in the right place. It was great to learn about the of CERNs accelerators and walk the same grounds. Such an amazing piece of engineering, one which must have been machined by hand in the 1950s. The was brilliant, with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable and lots of fascinating information about the of the CERN project. Best experience in Geneva is a visit to CERN. You need to be at the location connected to local wifi to book two hours in advance a guided that covers Synchrocyclotron. Very nice place with loads of scientific historical value! The from CERN, an active scientist explained everything beautifully and the presentation was also pretty chic! The tickets are one hour in Advance and they only take 24 people in a group. So be there atleast an hour before your actual group time! Fun and interesting, but could have had more in-depth for those of us interested. The tickets were sold out less than two minutes after opening - you had to be checked in to reserve places - so you had to be on top of it. Very Swiss: efficient, clean, practical. Our ran 30 minutes over, which is not very Swiss, hence the four stars. Had an amazing time, the is free and the was excellent. Hit the cafe downstairs for the best chicken sandwich of your life. You have to love - specifically astrophysics - to get a lot out of the because it goes deep into it, but anyone who likes space generally will probably also enjoy the free exhibits too. For the though, you need to get there early - you book 2 hours ahead of the tour, so if you show up past 11:30-12:00, you're basically screwed, but you can still look through and play with the many interactive parts of the exhibits in the meantime. During my participation in the CERN Fermilab Hadron Collider summer school, the school organized a visit to the Synchrocyclotron, Thanks to the staff Dr. Christopher, we learned about the of this Marvel, and the scientists who contributed. CERN is in one word AMAZING. We are both geeks but this place is overwhelming, what they are doing in terms of is incredible.
