Oh man, this place was so much fun, I bought the extended pass which was 1400 and was worth it,each floor was so good and there was so much to do. I entered the place around 1 pm and left at 5 pm, it was so much. There were so many little stalls (I couldn't find the right word for it). You'd press a button and It'd show you something cool. Like a cool tidbit or something genuinely useful or how others with different medical conditions would see. Mazes and endless ways to keep yourself engaged. The massive skylight in the center allowed so much ample light and the mini pond that you could walk through was amazing. The third floor was a very visual experience, you'd interact with sand, color and upload it to the projector screen, so many clickity clackity, some cool projections, the other half of the 3rd floor was electrical and mechanical, and had a simulation of what an earthquake would've felt like. Now onto the bad part, the foodalicious mini cafe, the cafe itself was pretty good, seating was nice, my first issue was that, they had some items listed on the menu but weren't available, why have them if they aren't available. Secondly I ordered a Mac n cheese, it felt like a quick mix from bake parlour, there wasn't any cheese in there just powder, pretty bad for 650/- and ordered pizza regular for 1250/- which was decent, now when placing that order the waiter while i was placing an order for the pizza says "will that be enough for your family", I'm sorry what the hell was that, I don't think I bought a 1400 ticket for you to tell me I wasn't ordering enough overpriced mid food for your cafe, the food was nothing special,just overpriced everything, a sandwich was 750/- for some silly reason without any meat, place was comfy and warm, the coffee what I heard to be was bad through the table over, overall would go there but would strongly avoid the cafe, I also highly recommend to go there on in the morning or afternoon, Sunday at 1 pm the place was pretty empty by the time I left it was slowly getting crowded. There was an outside cafe that also had some pastries and a very good sitting area, sadly I couldn't try it, it was amazing what classic architecture looks in comparison to modern stuff. Fix the issue with the waiters and It'd be a solid...
