- H SAuckland Central, New Zealand27 contributionsGreat experience with familyIf you are planning to visit this place, Do go. For all the visitors who are coming from near and far. If you are looking for an open space with lots of greenery, this is the place. Most of the exhibitions are free. There are few which needs tickets. But they are not expensive, so anybody can afford them. If you want to teach your kids about the prehistoric era. You need to visit that particular exhibition. Which shook is the dinosaurs and ice age. For someone who's looking for having food inside, you can bring your own food or if you don't want to carry it. There's so many stalls where you can find some nice. Not the delicious one but they are good enough to have. Transport is rightly available, so anybody wants to travel from and to can easily catch a bus or cab. Overall, it has been a good experience for us. I hope this review helps the next person who's reading and wants to travel to this particular placeVisited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 20 December 2023

- igrag_bKolkata (Calcutta), India136 contributionsEntertaining for 6-7 year oldsOur kids loved going here. Very good learning experience for them. The ropeway was the cherry on the cake. We took it during exit. We had booked our tickets online, so, didn't have to wait in long queue for them. Expect lots of people always so best would be if you can go as early as possible. We went by 9 a.m. and left by 2.30 p.m. This way, we could avoid queues and crowd during the visit. A must go for young kids 6-7 years of age.

Has a relatively good selection of Science-related artefacts and information and there are some good views across Kolkata from the ropeway. My only problems with Science City (which is why I haven't given it four or five stars) is that some parts could be better maintained and cleaned (especially the eating areas), and that in some attractions, there is too much emphasis in giving the audio-based information in Hindi (without any subtitles or audio in either English or Bengali) which means that it is not particularly ideal or inclusive for foreign tourists (I am one of them, as while I can understand bits of Hindi, I can't speak the language) who are visiting the area or even some locals who want to hear the information in Bengali. Apart from these issues, it was a relatively good experience overall.

A great time to spend with friends and family. Science City is the best place to discover amazing facts of Science. It is a place to know some Mistry of Science. I must recommend this place to those who are curious. And one more thing this is a fabulous place to bring your kids and spend a quality time with your family and friends and for having fun with them. No need to buy all tickets at the entrance as there are counters for all exhibitions inside too. There's a musical fountain and a lot of food and drink options. Car parking is available for 60 rupees.
