    Maximum things are not maintained. All the things are either broken or don't work. Not a place to take your kids if you want to teach them something. Staff are friendly and help you in case of assistance.

    A fun place to bring kids.. Have a lot of interesting science tools. You can learn while having fun. There's a planetarium show and a 3D show, which is worth watching. Though some of the equipment are not working in order, it's still a fun place if you are visiting for the first time.
