About
Quick facts: This interactive science museum is housed in a building shaped like a giant pair of spectacles or a ship, depending on your perspective. You can explore the human body, flight, and the universe through hands-on experimentation.
Highlights: Many exhibits here invite you to become part of the experiment, letting you feel the force of a hurricane or walk on the moon. You can even see and touch a real shark in the largest of the three main 'eyes' of the building.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be doing a lot of walking and standing.
- The interactive exhibits are best at waist height, so bring children of varying heights for optimal engagement.
- Take advantage of the free entry periods offered on certain days or times, typically the first few days of the week.
- Don't miss the Archimedes Screw demonstration if you want to see a fascinating display of physics in action.
