Painful farewell: Phaeno-Bistro closes doors after just two years!
The news from Wolfsburg is a topic of conversation among visitors to the Phaeno Science Museum. After two years of operation, the popular bistro in Phaeno is closing. This announcement came directly via social media, where Phaeno thanked us for the great time and announced its closure. The news caused regret among many guests because the alternatives are not without controversy. From June 23rd, a selection of vending machines with snacks and drinks will be available, which is met with mixed reactions. While some can understand the step, others are skeptical about the vending machine solution.
The cute picnic area in the Phaeno, where visitors can enjoy snacks and drinks, offers a vivid picture. However, it should be noted that eating and drinking are only permitted in the designated areas in order not to impair the exhibitions, as phaeno.de explains.
The role of the VW plant in Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg is not only known for the Phaeno, but also as the home of the largest connected VW factory, a true landmark in automotive history. With over 130 vehicles in the Volkswagen Museum, founded in 1985, Volkswagen is a global brand that looks back on an exciting history. From iconic models such as the Beetle and the Golf to impressive prototypes and world record cars, visitors here get an exciting insight into the development of automotive technology. The VW museums around the world not only tell about the past, but also show promising perspectives on future models and technologies, as can be read on vw-scene.de.
In the Phaeno itself, the bistro, which will remain closed from now on, creates a gap that cannot be completely filled by the machines. But here too, Phaeno is flexible and would like to continue to offer its guests snacks and drinks. Since June 15th, guests can also receive a 15 percent discount on food and drinks at the nearby hotel “Innside Wolfsburg”. So the signs don't point to gourmet, but at least to culinary support for the Phaeno visitors.
Reactions to these changes are not uniform. Many visitors express dissatisfaction with the closure of the bistro and the decision to use vending machines. The Phaeno understands this negative attitude, but emphasizes that they continue to value the availability of snacks and drinks. Ultimately, the question remains whether the new solutions will meet the expectations of creative and science-interested visitors. However, the closure of the bistro could also offer an opportunity for new approaches and innovations in gastronomy at the location.
