VISIT WITH NECESSARY PRE-REGISTRATION
The BIOTOPIA Lab is open for visitors as long as the current corona situation allows it (regulation for museums and cultural institutions). Short-term changes are possible depending on the current infection levels. Until further notice, a visit to the Lab is only possible with the necessary pre-registration.
Do you have any questions, need further information or would like to contact us for another matter?

To enter, you must pass through the main entrance of the Botanical Garden (Menzinger Str. 65), where you will need to fill out a contact tracking sheet. As of April, the entrance to the Botanical Garden will probably no longer be free of charge and will also only be possible via an additional pre-reservation the day before - please inquire in advance on the Botanical Garden's page, as we will unfortunately not be able to help you on site.
You can find the Lab on the right, around the corner of the Botanical Institute, across the greenhouses.
Please follow the signs!
Barrier-free access to the Lab via ramp or elevator inside the institute is possible. Guide dogs and assistance dogs are allowed.

We want you to have exciting experiences in the BIOTOPIA Lab and enjoy your stay. To ensure the safety of all visitors, we ask you to follow the following hygiene rules:
A minimum distance of 1.5 meters must be kept even with a mask.
Currently the number of people allowed in the lab is limited. On the main page you can find out more about how to reserve a place or book a workshop.
We make sure that not too many people enter the Lab by making it mandatory for all visitors to reserve a slot in advance.
For events and workshops we have to take your personal data for contact tracking and keep it for 1 month according to the DSGVO. This is not necessary for regular visits to the lab.
We provide disinfectants and disinfection wipes, also for one-handed listeners and contact surfaces.
In case of non-compliance with the rules, we will remind you. Visitors who still do not follow the rules are asked to leave the lab.
