The school trip to Cologne

In short, for everyone aged 6 and over*. Children, adults, families, tourists, schoolchildren and residents. Whether for history buffs, technology enthusiasts, school trips or for the “Kölsche Hätz”.

With our unique offer we appeal to a wide audience and most of them visit us at our other locations afterwards.

*Recommended for ages 6 and up. Participation in a virtual reality tour is not recommended for children under the age of 6. The reasons for this are that VR goggles are usually too big and too heavy for small children’s heads. They can slip, be uncomfortable or even lead to unhealthy strain on the neck and head. Visual perception is still developing. . At this age, the ability to process spatial depth and movements correctly is not yet fully developed. VR can overtax these perceptual processes.

Many of our guests have never worn VR glasses before.

Don’t worry! We explain well on site how to put on the glasses and are always ready to help if anything remains unclear. Ask your time travel guide and follow his instructions, then nothing can go wrong.

We can reassure you: In the many years that TIMERIDE has been around, no one has gotten seriously sick. Our VR ride on the streetcar is relatively leisurely, so you can relax and take in your surroundings. In addition, the airflow and vibration simulate real locomotion.

You can usually pull the VR glasses comfortably over your glasses (conventional models with not too large lenses and narrow frames, models with oversized lenses and thick frames are not possible). Varifocals are not suitable, only single vision glasses. If your glasses are too big, we recommend wearing contact lenses.

It is generally possible to take part in TIMERIDE Cologne and Dresden in the Senseum with a wheelchair or walker. Participation in our experiences – with a wheelchair – is unfortunately not possible in Frankfurt and Andechs. Unfortunately, it is not possible to take part in our GO! tours in a wheelchair or walker at any of our locations, as there are steps and uneven paths.

Conventional hearing aids can be worn under the headphones, you just need to be careful when putting on the VR glasses. Your time travel guide will be happy to help you put on the VR glasses.

The concept of TIMERIDEis strongly based on visual and auditory impressions.

Don’t drink and Timeride!

We understand that celebrations together can sometimes invite you to have a drink or two – who can resist that? But a clear head is important for our time travel. For safety reasons, guests under the influence of alcohol are unfortunately unable to attend. In such cases, we reserve the right to refuse admission and a refund will not be possible. Thank you for your understanding – we look forward to going on a journey through time with you sober and full of anticipation.

All tours are designed in understandable language and are basically also suitable for German learners, but historical terms and more complex contexts are part of the tours. The Cologne 1926 tour is particularly suitable for participants with little knowledge of German.
