Sardar Patel Museum

A go to place if you have kids along

In the heart of Surat, is this large expanse of space - Science Center or the Sardar Patel Museum. I would recommend you give it a look.

See the show at the planetarium (45 mins long) and the 3D show (lasts about 10 mins). Apart from that there is a fun science section that needs a lot of work but might be fun for kids 10 years of age. There is a museum that covers history of Surat, philately, handicrafts and coins.

There is a section that covers the history of the diamond industry in Surat as it produces almost 75% of the world's polished diamonds. The stones in the museum are all fake, but the history is worth understanding.
