After the session with Javier's teachers, we visited Singapore Science Centre as planned. We reached there slightly before noon and in time for the Tesla Coil Demonstration.
This is a display of high voltage electricity. As this demonstration will be generating very loud noise, Javier and Jerlene decided to give it a miss. Javier especially hate loud noise. At home whenever we are vacuuming the floor, he will run to a corner to hide. The next show was the Fire Tornado Demonstration, which was equally loud and warm. Jerlene decided to watch the display with me while Javier was again hiding far behind.
After the show, we let Jerlene and Javier bring us to they want to go. They were having so much fun.
At one point, we decided to go outdoor and visited the Ecogarden.
There was a treehouse which we climbed up to have a great view of the entire outdoor area.
As we were back on the ground, we saw a monitor lizard just a short distance away from us.
By then, we were pretty tired and decided to go for a late lunch at McDonalds, which is right at the entrance, next to the dinosaur exhibits.
After lunch, we went back to Science Centre and explore other areas. First we went to the Marine Alcove where we had a very close look at the eel and puffle fish.
There was a temporary exhibit called the Island Adventurer, featuring Alfred Russel Wallace, a great naturalist who explored Malay Archipelago between 1854-1862.
We continued to explore other exhibits which amazed the kids.
One of them is the floating balls.
We left science centre just minutes before it closed. I had never expected we could stay at this place for so long. Actually the number of exhibits had increased from the last time we were here. This was an enjoyable and educational day out for everyone.
