Contribute to renew the lightning show

By next year, we will have completely redesigned the lightning show (Natural history of a lightning flash ), which has remained unchanged since 2009. The guests will be more involved and become part of the performance. For example, they will be able to touch lightning with their bare hands. Because when I experience something myself and not just watch it, the aha effect is the most impressive and the key experience the most effective.

Together with you, we can offer our guests even more impressive experiences. Help us to do this. Every donation counts.

- From a donation of CHF 100, we will invite you to a preview of the lightning show
- From a donation of CHF 500, your name will appear on the donation wall
- From a donation of CHF 1000, you will be invited to fire lightning bolts yourself.

Thank you very much for your support!
