An enlightening experience for young and old

Imagine a warehouse filled with scientific wonder ranging from the traditional sciences to modern sciences including IT and sports. We spent over 4 hours there and could have well spent more. Entertaining and educational.

Nice show

It was a good display but not for the older kids who got a little bored. Keep it for the young and the eager, otherwise you wont end up staying long.

Very Educational if travelling with kids

My nephew had a blast with all the science projects he was testing out. I was impressed with the level of ease the models were set up for the children.

Was skeptical when we arrived, however it is brilliant. From the dinosaur exhibition to the planetarium, everything is very well displayed and incredibly informative! The coffee shop is the only thing that is disappointing, however if you are just grabbing a quick cool drink and...More
