What makes it 70% Solo-Friendly: A solo visitor can follow the 75-min guided circuit with a free multilingual audio pod and optional VR, yet the group-focused demos can feel brief and less interactive when you are alone.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Allows time for the immersive tour, audio-guide exploration, and an optional VR session without rushing.
Immersive Science Tour:
Explore six themed rooms with live hosts covering the universe, Earth’s core, deep ocean, volcanoes, brain, and static electricity.
Tip: Arrive a few minutes early to join the tour group and ask the host follow-up questions.
Audio-Guide PODS:
Use free PODS to pause exhibits and revisit experiments at your own pace.
Tip: Switch languages instantly and replay segments for better understanding.
VR Simulator:
Ride a roller-coaster or battle creatures in virtual reality.
Tip: Book your VR slot online in advance to secure your preferred time and avoid wait lines.

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 .

Amazing experience for parents and kids. A fun way to make our kid love about science. We love science! Give us more please 😄🥰. The lab science we love it! I would like to suggest you, good and meaningful activity during the vacation or warming up before back to school after vacation 😉 *3 years to up ♡

We went on English tour (daily at 2.40pm) and there was one more person in our group. It was great as we had not too many people and could enjoy interactive experiences better. 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, ...
Midweek mornings are quieter. On weekends and school holidays, book the 2:40 pm English session early to guarantee a spot.
