After like months of renovation, the National Science Centre (Pusat Sains Negara) is finally open to public again this month. In conjunction with the school holiday which has just started, I decided to bring my family there. After all it’s free until the end of the year. We planned to go early but as always we didn’t get there until 11:00-ish in the morning. As expected, the place is crowded with people. Parking space is hard to find and I had to park by the roadside leading the way to the centre, secretly hoping no policeman is going to come and give me a ticket.
I remember last time we went, it wasn’t this crowded. Then again last time it was not free so many people took this opportunity to come and visit. Many as in half the population of Klang Valley was there in my rough estimate. Anyway the kids had a decent learning experience to say the last. The packed environment is not so conducive for learning or having fun. Honestly I’d rather come another day and pay for entry instead of bustling and mingling with the enormous crowd like that. And after spending millions on renovation, the entire lower floor smells like a large septic tank. Whatever it is that’s causing the stink, they have not fixed it and I doubt they will. Too bad for the country’s premier science centre.
