It is a really great place for children to learn in a fun environment. Even as an adult, I enjoyed the experience

Fun place for kids of all ages. Very interesting interactive displays and activities. Some of the activities have a small additional cost, which I found odd, I think the admission fee should cover the whole experience. The staff were friendly and helpful when asked to assist, but they could have made a bigger effort to approach kids that are visibly confused and struggling to comprehend the activities they were busy with, rather than standing around having a chat with each other. All and all a pleasant experience.

The girls had the BEST fun this morning - they were blown away with the apparatus that they could climb in and on, slide down and whisper in. The science shows were "so cool", they said. The girls are 4 and 7 years old and the grandparents had a ball too! 🌟

Not upto expectations for the entrance fee that you pay. Very basic and limted exhibits. Some are out of order. Doubt the hygiene of the center as there are constant large groups visiting and interacting with no sight of cleaning staff or sanitizer in place. Disappointed!!

This is an incredible children friendly space. The portfolio manager Natheer Jacobs took me on a tour and I enjoyed every moment of it. I wish every city in South Africa could have a similar establishment of CTSC. Science here meets arts.
