Traveler reviews
Jesus Franco
★★★★★8 months agoI spent about 3-4 hours here with my wife,our toddler, and 2 other family members. Highly recommended for the following reasons 1. The architectural design of the building is a sight to see by itself. It has a futuristic "gattaca-star wars- appearance i thought it was really nice with the sea/mountains in the backdrop. 2. There are many interesting exhibits to keep yourselves and your child entertained. There are more than 10 exhibits featuring astrology,music,tech,engineering. Most exhibits are interactive that allow fun learning for the family. 3. Prices are reasonable. We were a group of 5 adults and 1 toddler and we paid less thank 300MOP. We skipped the 3D space show as the exhibits itself kept us entertained. 4. The science center is situated along a beatutiful coast. If you finish the activities at the center at 5pm, you can walk outside the center to have a nice late afternoon rest by the bay. There is a very large playground (even a bump car area) near the center. I would say it is a 5 min walk. The path to the playground is lined with trees and the seabreeze makes strolling around such a relaxing and wholesome experience for the family. Verdict: Highly recommended for families,kids, and practically anyone who has an interest in science. Very educational and fun filled activity. 5 stars for me. Note: The place is about a 15-20min taxi ride from the area of senado square in the historical macau peninsula
