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.
