The Oasis is a hands-on, aquatic-themed exhibition that allows visitors to explore the physical properties of water through interactive play. Featuring around fifteen distinct activities, the space encourages guests to experiment with flow, buoyancy, and construction to better understand water physics in a fun, sensory environment.
At The Oasis, visitors of all ages are invited to make a splash while learning about the properties of water. This interactive exhibition is designed as a sensory, aquatic space where guests can freely fill, empty, pump, and siphon, turning theoretical concepts of physics into tangible experiments. Through approximately fifteen hands-on stations, the exhibition encourages cooperation and curiosity, inviting visitors to observe how water behaves in different settings. Key highlights include activities like 'The Plumber’s Fountain,' where visitors design complex water circuits using pipes and connectors, and 'The Vortex,' which allows for the creation of whirlpools in a water column. Another popular segment, 'Dams,' challenges visitors to build obstacles and manage water flow to guide balls along a track. By prioritizing play and active experimentation, The Oasis transforms scientific learning into a dynamic, memorable experience for everyone.
The exhibition involves water play, and while ponchos are provided to visitors, it is highly recommended to bring a change of clothes for your visit. Admission information is available through the official Le Vaisseau ticketing channels.
