ONE 'QUANTUM & CHOCOLATE' OPS : TOURISM GENEVA

 

Satisfy your curiosity about '' Quantum Physics '' , and your cravings for chocolate.

The tiniest bits of nature are the biggest attraction as the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, and its 17-mile long [ 27 kilometers ] particle accelerator on the outskirts of Geneva.

But until recently, visitors had limited options for nerding out.

Open since October, the family-friendly, Renzo Piano-designed CERN Science Gateway changes that with activities like quantum karaoke, quantum air hockey and miniature magnetic accelerators modeled after the Large Hadron Collider.

Less mind blowing but still satisfying, the Choco Pass, a self-guided chocolate tour, lets visitors sample Geneva's famous truffles, bonbons and pralines.
