Mars-Expo: Jurassica Museum Porrentruy – A Totally Awesome Day Trip!

Hey everyone! So, I recently took a trip to the Jurassica Museum in Porrentruy, Switzerland, and let me tell you, it was way cooler than I expected. I'd heard whispers about it, but I didn't really know what to expect. Turns out, it's not just about dinosaurs – they've got a wicked Mars-Expo running right now, too! Talk about a double whammy!

My Totally Honest Review (With Pictures!)

First off, the Jurassica Museum itself is pretty amazing. I mean, who doesn't love dinosaurs, right? They've got a seriously impressive collection of fossils, skeletons – the whole shebang. It's really well laid out, too, which is a big plus for someone like me who gets totally lost in museums sometimes. Seriously, I spent ages in that dinosaur section. There were some massive skeletons – jaw-dropping, really. I even took a bunch of pictures – maybe I'll post some later.

But the Mars-Expo? That was the real highlight for me. I'm a total space nerd, so naturally, I was super hyped. It was packed with interactive displays, models of rovers, and mind-blowing information about Mars exploration. I even got to try on a virtual reality headset and "walk" around the Martian surface. It was bonkers!

I almost missed the Mars-Expo though! I nearly skipped it entirely, thinking, "eh, I'm here for the dinos." Big mistake! It completely changed my perspective on the whole day. It just goes to show that sometimes, you gotta step outside your comfort zone (or, in this case, your expected dinosaur-viewing zone) to find the coolest stuff. Don't be like me! Check out the Mars-Expo too.

Practical Tips for Your Trip:

• Check the website: Before you go, check the Jurassica Museum's website for opening hours and special events like the Mars-Expo. They might even have special offers or discounts. I wish I’d done that before I went; I totally missed out on a student discount!
• Plan your time: The museum is pretty big, especially with the Mars-Expo added. Give yourself plenty of time to explore everything. I spent about four hours there, and I felt rushed! Five or six hours would have been much better.
• Bring snacks and drinks: There's a cafe, but prices can be a bit steep, and the place was packed. Bring some water bottles and snacks to save some money and avoid long queues. I totally forgot and nearly fainted from hunger!
• Get there early: This way you avoid huge crowds, especially on weekends. I learned this the hard way... It was packed when I went! Going earlier would've been so much better.
• Engage with the interactive displays: Don't just walk past things! Really engage with the interactive displays in both the dinosaur and Mars-Expo sections. That's where the real fun is, and you'll learn so much more! Especially the VR headset – totally worth it.

The Takeaway:

Honestly, the Jurassica Museum in Porrentruy, particularly with the current Mars-Expo, is a must-visit. It's a perfect day trip for families, space enthusiasts, dinosaur fanatics, or anyone who appreciates cool museums. Don't miss the Mars-Expo – it's seriously out of this world (pun intended!). You'll learn a ton, have fun, and maybe even make some awesome memories. I know I did. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to plan my next trip back... this time with more snacks. And maybe an earlier start!
