From a
toddler to 12 years of age, this really is the latest
and greatest center for children. The Center opened in
March 1999, this colorful 'scientific park' covering
3,800 square meters, provides everything children love
to see and do in safe, supervised surroundings. Based
on theme areas including Sports World, body World,
Water World, Build Town and Drive Town, children can
touch, experiment, run and have fun.
In addition, the center offers a kiddy supermarket,
bank, recording studio and a chance to put on wings
and fly around the world.
Toddlers can enjoy their very own soft play area.
School groups can benefit from reduced charges in the
morning and organized activities, including the TV
Studio Workshop.
Whilst it appears to be 'all play', the underlying aim
is to teach youngsters about the biological, physical
and technological worlds, in a practical way. There is
so much to do and learn in this very active
environment which not only entertains children but
adults too!
The center has its own cafe serving a limited range of
food and drinks, a gift shop and ample parking is
provided in the grounds.
The Museum welcomes its visitors during the following
timings:
Saturday to Tuesday from 9 AM to 2 PM
Wednesday to Friday: from 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM ONLY
Timings are subject to change without notice.
Admission Fee: There are separate public and school
