Science City, Kolkata was inaugurated on 1st July 1997 by the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu. It was conceived as a center to popularize science and technology among the masses and inspire scientific temper. The sprawling campus was developed by the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. Over the years, Science City has become a prominent landmark in Kolkata and a sought-after destination for students, families, and science enthusiasts alike.

It was a great experience to visit such a great educational landmark. Science city creates a great environment for learning and understanding scientific concepts for all science nerds and kids. It also conducts many shows with a fair amount of price. Some shows are so good and must watch like Space Theatre 3-D for everyone who visits this place. Some shows which I personally don't like are Science on a sphere, Panorama (Human Evolution) and Dark Ride. But they are educational if you are interested then you can definitely check on them at least once. This place also has great photo spots and a play area for kids. If you are hungry then this place also has some very good franchised food stalls. On the weekends it is a little crowded so I recommend you visit on weekdays. If you want to watch various shows conducted by the institution then I personally recommend you to buy combo packs because they are overall cheaper. The best time to visit this place is in the morning, it just gives you extra time to visit this beautiful place.
Great place specially for school going kids. With some existing shows. Really thought provoking. Also there is ample space to hangout with kids and perfect for a day outing. But make sure you have at-least 4-5hours to cover most of it.
Nice place to visit on weekends. Also on weekdays but need at least 4-6 hours to visit completely. Ample parking available. Need to get tickets which are a bit costly. Great for children and young students who are enthusiastic. Lots of fun activities available here. I liked rope way, mirror maze and dark house dinosaur tour. The greenery is also good. Foods available but average quality and a bit expensive.
Great experience at science cuty auditorium. Not gonna lie but there was ample amount of bathrooms and waste disposal bins so no littering around the premises and was crispy clean. The area is very good and good for kids and every age group. Very interesting to visit.
