No. Entry is open to everyone with no registration, so you can just walk in and wander between stations.

Do kids need to speak Serbian?

The stations, workshops and stage show are run in Serbian. The hands-on stations work best for kids who don't speak it, since much of it is touching, building and watching.

When is the next one?

Dates for the next edition aren't out yet. The 2026 picnic ran over two days at the end of May, so check festivalnauke.rs in spring.

About

Naučni piknik turns the Faculty of Forestry's Arboretum on Banovo brdo into an open-air classroom. Universities, institutes, schools and companies set up hands-on stations across the park, from experiments and live demos to a science stage. Younger kids explore through play, while high schoolers get a more serious look at ecology and sustainability. It's run by Festival nauke, Belgrade's science festival.
