Science City

Fifty acres of levers, domes and things that answer back when you push them: the largest science centre on the subcontinent has run since 1997 under the National Council of Science Museums. Space Odyssey puts its show on the inside of a dome, Dynamotion hall is built for hands, Evolution Park moves in animatronics, and the butterfly enclave is alive. Families fill it at weekends, so a weekday works better. Basic entry is ₹80, with separate tickets per attraction; half a day is the minimum.

The subcontinent's biggest science centre, built for pushing, pressing and staying too long
