I went as part of a school trip ( as a science teacher) and was amazed. It was a bit too technical for most of the pupils(aged 13) - it suits probably excellent IGCSE pupils or AS IB physics. However the staff are so friendly, the tour is very well organised. I learnt so much. An absulte must for anyone... More

As a fan of particle physics and astronomy I was eager to see the goings-on at CERN, but was somewhat disappointed to see that there isn't much to see here. I'm not sure what the guided tours will show, but at the very least visiting the visitor center was plenty informative and interesting enough to make it worth the 20... More

English guided tour at 10.30 am each day, but best to book in advance if you want to be sure of a place. Several exhibitions to see. All explained clearly. No refreshments nearby, but several restaurants on #14 tram back into town, and halfway back there is a supermarket with a high quality and good value restaurant. More

Worth a trip to the Dome just to see the multimedia display and the first www server! More

The people at CERN are very friendly and willing to share the intimate knowledge of the universe with you. If you book the group tour to the site, you can visit inside their particle detector analysis center. The multimedia show located in the huge wooden globe is very good too. More

We toured the facility and saw videos of how the tunnels were dug, and the equipment used. We started with an introductory talk to introduce us to the facility. From there we took tours of different areas. They do a great job of making everything understandable. We also got to have lunch in the cafeteria where you may have been... More

CERN restores your faith in humanity. All these nations coming together soley in the pursuit of trying to understand more about the world and universe we live in. That they take the time and spend the money to explain this in very simple terms to the public makes CERN visitor centre an incredible day out for anyone with any interest... More

This was our 3rd visit to CERN and although those in 2004 & 2007 were much more interesting as we saw the awesome ATLAS detector first being built and in 2007, installed, it was good to be there now it is working. The downside is that visitors are now confined to a new visitor centre and a look at the... More

Group visits are about 31/2 hour tours. I took my son who is going to university to do physics for an 18th birthday trip. We were therefore not fixed when we were going to Geneva and so sent an email in asking to join a group listing a variety of dates. They came back within 24 hours with a date,... More
