Would probably not have visited were it not for a special exhibition that was on at the time. The exhibition was quite enjoyable and worth seeing (Star Trek!) but it had been put on by an external company from Europe. Took some time to look around the rest of the Centre whilst we were there but was pretty horrified by... More

Some exhibits were in not working. The instructions and explanations on some of the exhibits were not adequate. Hence younger kids/students did not understand and got bored quite quickly. The aquarium section was good with impressive looking fishes.

However, for this time, they have replaced most of the equipment and they are quite new. My daughters have fun time playing with those... More

Don't know if it's still on or not. We also went there for the last exhibit which featured dinosaurs which... More

Me however was excited :) Upon entering... More

A place with lots of information, knowledge and fun. There is so many things to see, learn and explore. Definitely a place for kids to walk around and learn at the same time.

Quite interesting place for childrens, but still many shortcomings. Need more interactive exhibits and materials. A lot of items are not properly maintained and does not work. The location also quite remote and difficult to get transport to go there Ticket : Adult RM6 , Children RM3
