Would not recommend unless you like listening to a guide for ages with young kids. We waited 20 mins at the start listening to a guy talk about worms and then each room is a set amount if time under a guide. All very forced and annoying and little kids can’t just explore at their own pace. The actual animations are ok but not massively worth it.

Pricey for what it is. A lot of talk. Not enough interactif things to do.. room are timed and if it s a big group you don t really get to really enjoy everything .. I feel like it’s more designed for school … honestly I did enjoy it as I learnt some fun facts but can t say the same with others..

Nice little place. I checked and thought it was more of the interactive science lab. But they concentrate on virtual reality and presentation on projector. Too bad. Only part that was fun was the electrostatic lab with touching the ball of energy. The rest.. it is best to stay home and watch the documentary film .

Kids loved it and put it on the list to do with their visiting friends. Topics include: space, brain, ocean and some hands on experiment. Every group jas different but they have only one in English. At the end of the tour, ...
