As you walk through its various galleries, you can physically interact with displays that explain principles of sound, energy, mechanics, and light. A major highlight is the outdoor Science Park, where kids and adults can play with large-scale exhibits that demonstrate scientific laws in a garden setting. The centre also features a Prehistoric Animal Life section with life-sized, moving models of dinosaurs, which is a big attraction for younger visitors.
