I have always been a child or literature, Art and science, and when Mommy Bloggers Philippines received an invite to The Philippine Science Centrum, I signed up immediately! This also was an opportunity to have another date with my princess.
We were invited into the Science Hall which also serves as a venue for meetings, and Karen gave us a talk on the background of the centrum and what it has to offer. Not only do they cater to school tours but you can also have a Birthday Party!

Lookie! My princess has found a new friend! |
Philippine Science Centrum has a mission to promote Science and Technology among the youth and this is beyond your gadgets plus computer games. Almost all the exhibits are interactive giving you a hands on experience and I am sure your 1 hour and half inside will be completely filled! It was my first time to enter and I tell you, I definitely went back to my childhood, in the UK I grew up around museums and exhibits that for me it served as wonderland.
Kid's World, the favorite of my princess! |
What can you expect to see? So much! They have exhibits about Infectious diseases, Bodyworks, Earth Science, Electricity and Magnetism, Kid's World (the favorite of my princess), Lights, Mathematics, Mechanics, Space, Water, and Vision and Perception.

Interactive displays about waste management |
Buy souvenirs and other items from the Science Shop! |
One of their new exhibits is the Distorted room and also the Environment Exhibit. If you are brave enough you can also try the Human Gyro Ride which allows you to experince what it's like to be an astronaut!
My princess was asking me to get on the Human Gyro ride, I'm like: "I'm pretty happy standing where I am, thank you." |
You can also experience the popular exhibit Van De Graaff generator and see you hair stand.

Philippine Science Centrum is a venue where kids learn Science in a fun and interactive way! Science is a process and should be learned through experience.
ReplyDeletePhilippine Science Centrum is the place to be! A place where families can learn and have fun at the same time! It's SO near to our home yet we haven't visited yet and it would be really great to win this giveaway as a gift to my husband for Father's Day.
ReplyDeletePhilippine Science Centrum is a venue that let the kids learn by first-hand encounter with popular exhibits like the hair-raising wonders of Van de Graaff Generat, Move like Neo in The Matrix in the Wonder House and experience how it feels like to fly like Superman with the Anti-Gravity Mirror or see what it’s like to have your head rest on a platter and Delight in the freedom to touch, see, feel, play and truly experience every aspect of the science museum.
ReplyDeletethe place is educational and great for learning. it's not just for kids but for the young at heart as well
ReplyDeleteIts science! What's not to like.
ReplyDeleteAny opportunity to present science (and math) in an interesting way is a great way to introduce to kids that yeah, you don't have to be a geek to appreciate these things. ^_^
