Science City

Here is the Part 2 of my trip dedicated to science City..A novel idea to popularise science across various factions and it does interest you..
The Science City, Calcutta was opened on July 1, 1997 by the the National Council of Science Museums and has been a hit with crowds ever since..
There are always new demonstrations coming up to ensure every visit is an unique one..This was my fourth visit and as interesting as ever..

Gear Up for the trip..





First View Inside the premises.. of the Space Theatre dome , Zoo and Main Entrance all in one go







Huge attraction for Kids..Outside the premises









Toy Train First Ride of the Day.Nice way to do an inspection of the area we are to uncover



Entrance to Evolution Park.Depicts our own evolution and habitat of age old animals..Moving models of dinosaurs are an absolute hit with kids..U can hear shreiking sounds inside..Nope not of dinosaurs but kids






Walk on Piano.U walk and it plays






Van De Graaff..Named after the inventor it produces high velocity electrons..Enough to raise hairs of the trial person and give electric shocks to ppl touching her. They did the demonstration on me :-(








Mirror magic Best section for the fun..Mirror Maze was show stealer..U got to be inside Mirror maze to get the experience.






Caterpillar ride..They did not allow us to be in there :-( So we shot the pic :-)









Maze on our way out..Explains number of scientific concepts in playful manner..



Yeah So here ends our small wonder trip..Hope u enjoyed :-)

yea sure Sangita, enjoyed the presentation. Seriously, please think of AV's

The mirror magic is very sharp.
I never expected a camera phone to give this good result., Now you must be thinking of getting a sophisticated camera with more controls.
