Science and Technology Museum — Attraction in Região Geográfica Imediata de Porto Alegre

Firstly, you pay $30 for adults and $15 for students. Also, $20 for parking if you stay around 3 to 4 hours (borderline ridiculous!). Secondly, it's called a museum of sciences and technology, but the forgot to add "20 years ago" to the name. I literally have been to the museum 20 years ago and it is 90% the same... Very disappointing for an institution that is incredibly rich. It's administration abandoned the place, which has 20% of the exposition with an "out of order sign" and outdated knowledge, for example, the tongue flavour region, which has been debunked for ages. Nothing is new or amazingly interesting. Most interactive stands are good old physics or mechanics based. If you're under 10, it's awesome because you can touch stuff. If you're an adult, it's sadly outdated. I still cannot believe that they haven't changed most of it from 20 years ago. That's irresponsible. They should keep up with new technology and science knowledge that is always being updated. So, yes, take the kids, but then write an email to the administration asking for them to stop sipping martinis, get their act together and fix that museum. It's a great place and this town deserves to have it.

In summary, I was disappointed because I grew up going to that museum and could see the decline of it. You may not think it's that bad, besides the parking, which is not fair.

I recommend going once......

It is a fantastic place to visit, it is a large museum with works and sculptures out of the ordinary, with a lot of history, I liked the place where they explain the lives of many renowned people in Brazil, each section very interesting, science, technological advances and the interactive part, in a more playful way, is very entertaining. I was surprised with this place. A great opportunity and environment to teach them different aspects of science with fun interactive experiments. The sections of the human body, energy and sound are very complete arouses the interest of children, young people and adults. The museum is spectacular, with many areas of knowledge and interaction. Everything is very well exposed, you can see the interest of encouraging young students in science, and the challenge lies in understanding what has been exposed, the objective is very well achieved, and there are many well-instructed and well-disposed personnel to teach. Place opens your mind, you lose track of time because everything that is there is too interesting. You can spend a pleasant afternoon and learning how many of the exact sciences work, it is charming and very funny, it is very worth it, in fact it is highly recommended it is an...

Fun museum, especially with children. There are multiple interactive expositions, with written explanations. There are also some guides to help you out. Go with shows if you want to go to the gyroscope (?) at the ground floor. Sometimes it can be crowded due to school tours, so in the weekend is usually a better time to visit. You can leave and comeback in the same day, so I recommended lunching at some restaurant at pucrs, like the one in the...
