This is a facility created to attract children to science through interesting play models in which scientific principles are well involved. The children enjoy playing with these gadgets arranged in an open-air facility where the interaction is much more effective than that in the pavilion. In fact, the pavilion and the science park are complementary. In the pavilion, the interaction is with laboratory experiments while in the science park,that is with playing models. From the summer programmes we have conducted, it is observed that the children enjoy both these with great enthusiasm.
