National Science Centre, Kuala Lumpur

National Science Centre, Kuala Lumpur (6 June, 2004)


The National Science Centre, or Pusat Sains Negara (PSN), is located on 8 hectares of landscaped grounds at Bukit Kiara, on the northwestern part of Kuala Lumpur. The National Science Centre was established in 1996 to enhance our understanding and interest in science and technology. Over the space of nine galleries are scientific exhibitions to educate through entertainment.

The design of the National Science Centre is a fusion of modern architecture with Islamic design. Within the National Science Centre is theme park where visitors can enjoy the Space Science Show and Sky Movie on a 20m diameter dome screen. The screen is designed in the shape of a cone.

This structure is housed within the huge geodesic dome. An enjoyable exhibit at the National Science Centre is the walk-through overhead tropical freshwater aquarium. This is followed by the Environmental Odyssey where visitors are educated on the threats faced by the tropical environment.

Other exhibits at the National Science Centre includes Pathway to Discovery, Future World and Thinking Machine. For the younger visitors, there is also a special section at the National Science Centre called the Children's Exploration Centre. Also available is a 14-inch telescope and viewing gallery with binoculars.

Open: 10am - 5pm (except Friday)
Admission: RM6.00 (Adults) RM3.00 (Children)

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
