I had the pleasure of visiting the Vikram Sarabhai Space Exhibition last Sunday along with my family, and I must say, it was a remarkable experience. One of the most noteworthy aspects of this exhibition is that there are no admission fees or any charges to enter, making it an accessible and inclusive destination for all.
Upon entering the exhibition, it becomes evident that it is truly a world-class display of scientific achievements and space exploration. The attention to detail and the presentation of information are both impressive. The staff at the exhibition were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful. They were readily available to answer questions and provide insights, enhancing the overall learning experience.
One thing to note is the lunch break that takes place between 1 pm and 1:30 pm. This break provides visitors with an opportunity to take a breather, recharge, and perhaps engage in discussions about the exhibits they've seen so far.
During my visit, I had the privilege of watching a small movie that focused on the Mars mission and Chandrayaan (Moon mission). The screening added an interactive and immersive dimension to the exhibition, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of these remarkable achievements in space exploration.
