We went there for the first time when there was a live dinosaur tour. The design and architecture of the building was great, situating on top of a hill. Once entered, there was a nice underwater tunnel where you can see all sorts of fish. My son was so excited because the exhibits were very interactive. But unfortunately, some of... More

A place to explore, more for children to explore their mind with science as a theme. More

there are probably ritzier science centres in other parts of the world but this is the one we have and it's great. The staff are always helpful and never seem to mind the riot of children running around. Lots to see, touch, and do. A safe indoor environment for kids to play. Also not expensive. More

I got a chance to visit both Singapore Science Center and KL science center within a 3 months period. Singapore was great and I visited the KL with low expectation. The first problem going there was the car park. It's confusing as we were directed to park opposite the road which we found out later you can park inside and... More

Note: closed Fridays and really busy on weekends. Lots of fun things for kids. Foam factory is multilevel play area with foam ball canons. Has bouncy trampoline and large adventure course play zone - and much cheaper than shopping mall playgrounds. Really good air conditioned value for hot sunny days. Science themed exhibits keep kids interested, and there is a... More

I've been to many science centers around the world and have to say this is one of the worst. The exterior architecture of the place is beautiful. But once you enter, you'll note the poor maintenance and setup of the exhibits. Many of the exhibits I went to were broken down. Those that were still working looked old and worn.... More

I've 2 young children and they love this place. Reason we visited recently is because of the dinosaurs exhibition. Yes it was all worth it, not just the dinosaurs but all the other exhibitions as well. Almost everything are designed to be interactive ie children can touch and play. There's even a very nice playarea for toddlers, bigger children can... More
