Kalau tak pernah datang please lah datang, tempat ni sangat - sangat lah berbaloi untuk datang. Percayalah anak-anak akan sangat suka dan happy. You need at least 6 hours or whole day untuk habiskan masa berada dalam ni. Terlalu banyak aktiviti dan tiket pun murah. Sangat berbaloi. Kami datang weekend dan orang-orang sangat lah ramai. Penuh dengan manusia sampai parking penuh. Tempat parking sangat jauh ya, driver boleh drop penumpang dulu dan driver kena parking kat bawah pastu naik bukit untuk ke atas. Agak mencabar dan memerlukan kesabaran tinggi. Tiket boleh beli on the spot. Murah je no worries. Kalau datang weekend ada macam-macam aktiviti & pertunjukkan. Cuma peralatan agak tak well maintained masa kami datang. Baru dapat tahu yang Pusat Sains Negara ditutup sementara sampai Oct 2025 untuk penambahbaikan. Alhamdullilah. Sememangnya perlu ditambah baik pulih. Cuma pleaseeee boleh tak upgrade bahagian surau? Surau untuk solat sangat kecil, padat dan maaf berbau bila ramai orang dalam ruangan tu. Lagi-lagi waktu hujung minggu. Orang terlalu ramai tapi surau kecil je. Buat something. Please? Tandas okay, surau je perlu perhatian. Overall, worth the price worth the time and sangat-sangat recommended untuk semua orang datang! InsyaAllah will come bila dah opening again. Mesti lebih baik!

We recently visited, looking forward to an educational science experience. The exterior was very impressive, with a beautiful rainbow-colored dome roof that added to the excitement. Tickets were RM6 for adults, and the center closes at 5pm. Upon entering, we enjoyed the aquarium area, where we could observe fish swimming above us through a glass bridge. Inside, the exhibitions covered basic science topics, like natural phenomena, anatomy, radiation principles and so on. However, some equipment was outdated, and a few displays weren’t functioning. Overall, the exhibits seemed better suited for younger visitors as an introduction to science, while for us as adults, they were less engaging. Since we arrived a bit late, we only explored the main science exhibition and missed several other areas, such as the Pocket Garden, Herbs Garden, Pre-Historic Garden and more. If you’re planning a visit, it’s best to arrive early to fully explore these different zones. In summary, it was a decent experience, especially for families with kids. We hope that with some maintenance, the center could offer an even better experience in the future.

The ticket price is incredibly affordable, making it a great destination for students, kids, and even adults to enjoy. At the entrance, you’re greeted with a display of freshwater fishes, which is such a delightful way to start the visit. The space is divided into various sections, including science, IT, marine life, forests, and more. Each section is interactive, allowing you to try out different activities—though you may need to wait for your turn. One of the highlights is how hands-on everything is, which makes it engaging for visitors of all ages. However, I was a bit disappointed with the IT section as many exhibits were closed during my visit, so I couldn’t fully enjoy that part. Hopefully, it will be improved soon. For adults who have been out of school for a while, this place is a fantastic way to refresh your knowledge while having fun. It’s a mix of education and entertainment, perfect for a family outing or even a casual day trip. Tickets are super affordable, with adult Malaysians paying only RM6, and there’s no long queue to purchase them. If you’re interested in the science shows, be sure to check their schedule—they’re held twice daily at 11 AM and 3 PM (if I recall correctly). Overall, it’s a fun and educational experience that’s worth a visit!

Habis dekat 3 jam memusing dalam tu. Konsep learn and play. Ticket adult RM6, Kids 7-12 years RM3. Banyak item boleh belajar n main cuma ada a few parts yang disappointing, ada item yg dh rosak x dibaiki. Ada parts barangan2 tu dh lama smpi ada yg bau hapak (ie rope). Banyak pameran sbnrnya tp banyak jugak yg under construction. Masa banyak habis sbb tempat dia luas, pastu x boleh bawak masuk air, jd dekat 3 4 kali jugak ulang alik dr dlm tu ke storage locker sbb nk minum ayaq. tu belum mai dok tgh memusing tu sorg tu lapaq gerik2 dah x leh tahan, sdgkn masa nk p tu dh bg makan kenyang2. Jadi keluaq dr pusat tu p sebelah dia ada juai2 makan2 streetfood. Isi perut n then masuk balik. Yang unexpected, ada pool for kids, tapi sbb x bawak baju mandi so anak2 dinosaur umi membawa hati yang lara sambil tgk org lain mandi. Ada mini taman rama2, nama pun mini jadikla buat aso aso.

The building itself is amazing. Fun to walk about inside the building. Kids can also do some exercises as they have a huge free space and a jungle gym in the middle. The ticket is very reasonable. There were some food tracks outside , the food was amazing too!

So pretty and attractive! And got so many things to try on! But most of them are not functioning. As it is more scientific , i recommend bringing kids that have prior knowledge in science as they can enjoy it better! But it is also a good introduction for kids without scientific knowledge (bring them during weekdays much better). There is also a mini dinosaur park at the entrance, make sure to ask the guard where to park your car!
