About Cape Town Science Centre

The Cape Town Science Centre in Observatory is a vibrant, hands-on destination that successfully demystifies science for visitors of all ages. With over 250 interactive exhibits—including the popular Concor Building Site for kids and a life-size replica of Mark Shuttleworth's Soyuz space capsule—the centre transforms complex scientific concepts into engaging, tactile experiences. Visitors frequently praise the energetic live science shows and the Camera Obscura, which provides a unique view of the surrounding city. While some older exhibits may occasionally show their age, the centre’s affordable entry fees and dedicated staff make it an excellent value for families looking to spark curiosity and enjoy a productive day of learning.
