    I visited this place along with my brother for first time. My brother had his experience for visiting the place many times beforehand. And he insisted upon us to take both of us to see the beautiful vission inside it. And really it was just awesome bro.wow moment.❤️❤️❤️ You can't imagine without seeing what kind of things you gonna see. Any ages person can join here and specially for children . What a beautiful things preserved in the centre. ! I am very proud for visiting the place. I would like to visit once again in next time when I will be near there. If someone who didn't visit here please do atleast once in your life. It will change your thinking. And the entry fee is only 30 rupees per head. Thank you.

    We visited the place on a weekend. The location is convenient. Paid parking is available inside the premises. Various scientific models are exhibited inside the main building which gives an excellent learning experience. There are attractions like 3D Show and Digital Planetarium. Children will like the place.

    I loved it. It was a great place to see the practical use of laws of science which we have learned in our schools and very less people go there so you relax a bit in the garden also

    I had visited the science center on 13 Feb 2021. Lovely campus but outdoor playing stuffs are non-functional. Planetarium was closed for renovation. Other sections are fantastic & highly recommended. Ticket price ₹25 only. Flower garden in front of main building is well maintained. Science Center too is quite good, especially for children.

  • 4/5 Nishigandha B. 5 months ago on Google
    Very good place for the kids to learn about the different concepts of science that they study in school. Also some are game based which makes it enjoyable for the kids. All the 3 shows are very good. Science show in which an instructor shows different science experiments. Kids enjoy it like a magic show. 2nd is 3d show. We saw underwater world in it. There was lot of information about the aquatic world in it (in english) 3rd is about the formation of universe. This one is in pure hindi in a dome shaped theatre. It's also fabulous. (But avoid taking small babies there as they start crying when it's dark). Area outside is well maintained. The canteen should improve. Also it will be appreciated if they have a small shop to sell science kits at affordable prices for the kids to develop more interest and hands-on knowledge about it. Thank you

    North Bengal Science Centre is a good place to hangout with friends and family. The planetarium conducts hourly shows which requires separate entry fee apart from the entry fee charged at the main entrance gate.

    Overall experience was good but the canteen over there was nasty enough. Canteen owner too rude, didnot bother the customers. Administration should take serious actions or the visitors get irritated by such fellow

  • 4/5 Abhishek K. 10 months ago on Google
    Very interesting. Interactive machinery and others makes it more worthwhile. The digital planetarium video i wish had better resolution, it was too blurry and spoilt the experience.

  • 4/5 Abhijit K. 10 months ago on Google
    This center is equipped with several scientific instruments which are well maintained. It is like the amusement park for the children. 3D show was good and enjoyable for both kids abd adults. Brightness of the stars which appeared in the screen of the digital planetarium was very low.

  • 4/5 Danny T. 2 years ago on Google
    Been visiting it since my childhood, I've seen things getting built and added on the center as I grew up. So, nostalgia and the interesting fun stuffs are definitely a good reason for me to visit the place even now as an adult.
