The science museum is a hidden gem. Amid the unassuming exterior, the museum is filled with many interactive exhibits. More interestingly, there is also historical artefacts that brings back notslagia like the display of old textbooks, radios, TVs, food, phones and computers. The only minus point is that the place is crowded so its best to visit at the start of the opening hours. Or you probably have to endure the sounds of screaming kids running around the place. For foreigners, please also bring your passports for registration. Admission is free. Overall it is a great place to spend 2-4 hours in the morning. It is also easily accessible by mass transit and at city area.
