SCIENCE CITY |
 Located
on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, this is newest addition to
Kolkata's long list of tourist attractions. This architectural
showpiece has more than just its external grandeur. A showcase of
scientific applications, this is the first and the only institution of
its kind in India. The different sections
of the complex include the Space odyssey, Dynamotion, Life Science
Corners, Science Park, Toy Train & Ropeway , the Dinosaurs Complex and
others.
A visit to the Space Theatre is an experience that one would cherish
for a long time. It generally runs shows on the animal world , or some
astronomical events and at other times , on Kolkata. Yet another
breathtaking experience is the ride on the Time Machine which sends
you to a world of suspended disbelief, by generating artificial
movements and sounds, while taking you on a jaunt to the ancient Egypt
or the wilds of Africa. Then, there are the almost real size versions
of the dinosaurs that gnarls and sways it body parts much to the
delight of the kids hanging around. A ride of the Ropeway helps you
get a clear view of the Science City as well as the outer skirts of
the metropolis.
The main auditorium of the Convention Centre complex can accommodate
over 2000 people, while the mini auditorium has a capacity of about
400. There are 8 seminar halls complete with latest audio-visual
systems. |
