This gives an awesome experience for students and enthusiastic persons. Takes atleast 6-7 hours to watch it completely. There will be 4-5 shows and none is worth watching. There is no metro facility available to this place so you can go by a cab. More

A Science City that will attract only couples looking for a place to spend the evening. As it is, children hate Science. This place does nothing to make it more fascinating. It defeats the entire purpose of the place. More

i remember when this place opened. there was so much excitement and we loved it. it was refreshing something new. it was something good which happened in kolkata for long time. fast forward 12 years. place is in utter despair. staff is unruly. they are only intrested in seeing that couples dont sit too close together. its pathetic the mindset...

There's this really bad stench in and around this area - it isn't something specific to science city, which is a nice enough place by itself, but the whole area - probably because of Dhapa in the vicinity - I wish they could do something about it, it would make the science city experience soooo much better!

Honest attempt by the previous governance to come up with something interesting on the fringes of Kolkata. But honestly not worth the effort, time and money battling the mad traffic of Park Circus to reach the place. Better options are Birla Technological Museum or the Nehru Children's Museum. More

Your kids will have a field day once you get in the space museum and science museum. Recommend the Mirror magic and space theater which use a fish eye lens to project movie on a dome shape screen; simply amazing to watch. The place needed a little more clean up. More
