We visited Petrosains on a Monday during the school holidays and were delighted to find it not too crowded. My child enjoyed the experience, and we spent 5 hours there without noticing! It reminded me of my school trips to this place. The interactive exhibits are great for kids and adults alike. A prayer room is also available, which was very convenient. Overall, we were very happy and can't wait to return.

I visited the day after a public holiday and suggest booking tickets in advance since they may sell out for walk-ins. I believe the morning session is better, as more visitors will continue arriving. I don't think I could see everything in just two hours. There's so much to learn about science, the environment, machines, the sea, the universe, and more. Some of the games also test your mind and intelligence.

This was my second visit, and my first as an adult. I came during the school holiday when it was busy with kids. There's a discount for students, just show your student ID to get the discount (virtual ID is accepted too). The ambiance is great, and there's plenty to try and enjoy! I don't remember much about the changes since my last visit, but Petrosains is definitely a must-visit for parents and their kids. There's a lot for them to learn.

It's best to buy tickets online, as walk-in tickets are often sold out. This place draws a crowd, especially school kids on educational trips. I highly recommend visiting on weekdays to fully experience all activities inside peacefully. Great activities for kids, with lots of improvements since last year, and my daughter loved the space exhibition.

I was hoping to visit on a weekday to avoid crowds... but there was a school trip, not just from one school but THREE 😭 There are many fun activities, although I mostly just watched them play. I could manage to go on the tall slide, so it was fine. You can learn a lot about science related to the environment, machines, sea creatures, stars, and much more. Some games challenge your mind, testing our intelligence 🤣.
