At the enterance there was a little park area with a huge metal fish sculpture. The park had loads of little windmills, corkscrews and other mechanisms. Oh and a Ronald McEinstein selling his usual scientific wonders for burgers.
Inside there were loads of funny little gadgets. They had the usual stuff such as floating footballs over air jets, cogs, virtual illusions and such likes. They also had some more interesting stuff such as an illusion that made it look like your head was on a plate, sitting on a table. There was also this cool face morphing, distorting machine. It made some cool images. They also had a tornado generator and a mechanism that created the American Indian style smoke signals.
Imax film:
We decided to leave the main museum for a while to attend a film in their Imax cinema. We needed to use a stamp on ourselves on the way out so we could get back in later. Bobbi decided that the perfect location for this stamp was my forehead. 
Anyways we went in to watch the film on ancient Greece which was pretty informative and well done. The Imax really made you feel like you were there, travelling through the environment. Well worth the money.
Crappy Simulator:
There was this poor quality simulator ride outside which we tried. It was one of those that you see at theme parks. It was one of the most poor experiences we have ever wasted money on. We may as well have sat in front of the TV while having someone shake us a bit now and then. Still, there was some cool stuff in the rest of the Science Centre, although there were a few too many boring information films scattered around. Most often it was more fun pressing the button to start the movie than actually watching it.
