At present, the Centre has four galleries on the topics ‘Fun Science’, ‘Popular Science’, ‘Electronics’ and a ‘New Wing of Electronics’. The Centre also has a 3D Theatre, Television Studio and Pre-historic Park. The Mirror Magic Corner is an added attraction of the Centre.
The Digital Planetarium of the Centre attracts the visitors to the wonders of Astronomy.
