The Activity Centre is set up in its own building with two floors where visitors can experience science through hands-on activities, theatre, art and music. It features science shows about the weather, chemical curiosities, bubbles, our human body, electricity and more. Visitors are engaged through exciting demonstrations and fun volunteering opportunities which gives them further insight into the fascinating world of science. Hands-on workshops for visitors of all ages are held in the upper floor of the activity centre, where participants have the opportunity to be creative and experiment to find out more about science by involving participants directly in science activities.
