Sparkoh! (formerly PASS - Parc d'Aventures Scientifiques) is a unique science adventure park in Frameries, in the province of Hainaut. The park is set on the former Crachet-Picquery mining site, which was strikingly redesigned by the renowned French architect Jean Nouvel. In this former industrial heritage site, you discover the world of science and technology through interactive exhibitions, experiments and outdoor installations that appeal to both children and adults.

Sparkoh! is fully accessible to wheelchair users. All exhibition spaces can be reached via lifts and the wide paths with paved surfaces make navigating the park straightforward. Wheelchairs are available at the entrance and adapted toilets are provided throughout the complex. The interactive exhibitions have been designed with inclusivity in mind, allowing everyone to take part in the scientific experiments.

The park is located about 10 kilometres south of Mons and is easily accessible via the E19/E42. Ample PMR parking is available near the entrance. Sparkoh! is an ideal destination for a family day out and combines well with a visit to the historic centre of Mons. The park is open from Tuesday to Sunday during school holidays, and on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays outside holiday periods.
