Castle Museum, Grottenbahn or Ars Electronica Center: These are the well-known bad-weather excursions. But Upper Austria has much more to offer.
Evolutionsmuseum, Schmiding
The Evolution Museum with over 1000 international exhibits is located on the grounds of Zoo Schmiding. The museum enables a journey through time through the physical and spiritual evolution of mankind and the world, which has a lot to offer for parents and children. The focus is not only on the evolution of the past, but also looking ahead, that of the future and artificial intelligence. On the 2nd floor of the museum there is an exciting environment especially for the little visitors, where they can also do their own research.

Biology Center, Linz-Dornach
With more than 16 million objects, the Linz Biology Center has the largest natural history collection in Upper Austria and occupies second place in Austria. The center is dedicated to collecting, preserving and researching and imparting knowledge about the world of animals, plants and fungi. There are regular special exhibitions, such as squid or snails, which can be very interesting for both adults and children. The museum is open all week long with free entry.
Voestalpine Stahlwelt
For parents with children from 6 to a maximum of 15 years, a family tour through the steel world of the Voestalpine is an ideal item on the program when the weather is bad. Especially during the rest of the holiday season, Voest offers guided tours several times a week, and a factory tour can also be undertaken. Since only 50 people can take part in a guided tour, it is advisable to reserve the tickets early enough, otherwise no fixed place can be guaranteed.
