Pimpri Chinchwad Regional Science Center

We visited Science Center this Sunday. It was a nice place to spend a holiday with your kids.

Timings and Route: We actually went for shopping at Big Bazaar and saw some boards giving directions for Science park and that is how we ended up at the center. Monday is closed for the center otherwise the timings are between 10 AM and 5 PM.

Fees: There is an entry fee of INR 50 for adults and INR 30 for kids. There are two shows that happen inside the science center, 3D show and Taramandal for which there are separate fees of INR 30 for adult and INR 20 for kids per show.

Food: There aren't any food stalls or canteen where you can get some food.  My wife told that there was a canteen where food was available. We went there after lunch time so we didn't need any food there.


Activities: The two shows, 3D show and Taramandal, are carried out at every hour and last for 15 mins each. There are multiple exhibition halls, one for automobile related items, one for fun filled science and one for energy. We couldn't cover all of it in the limited time that we had. Some of the scientific experiments are same as that I had seen in one museum of US named Exploratorium. They were not just good but were well explained. The museum was really a great place for students between the class of five and SSC.

I would really give full marks to Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation to have opened such a nice science museum.
