The Family Experience at The Mind Museum

(the pictures courtesy of 3DME Technology )

Last Sunday, Terence and I together with our children and extended family checked out The Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City - the latest and first world-class science museum in the country which recently opened last March 2012… it’s a new place not just for the kids but as well as for the young once like us. During the interactive three-hour museum tour we became like children once again engaging our minds and re-discovered the wonderful, unique and mind-blowing world of science. We had a real blast !

Terence and me interact with the Carbon: Basis of All Life on Earth booth where they create their own allotropes, and thus help them understand why carbon is such a versatile atom!

Terence and I wander through the THE UNIVERSE GALLERY that features the mysterious vastness of the universe and holds clues to where we came from and where we are going. The gallery also contains a unique planetarium which simulates star-gazing from the point of view of literally laying down on a bed beneath the stars.

The T.rex exhibit in the Philippines is named Stan, after Stan Sacrison, who in 1987 discovered the most complete male T.rex skeleton ever unearthed.  It is cast from the real fossils.  Jombo poses infront the TRex's head

Interactivity is the name of the game here. You're meant to touch the exhibits, play with them, and by playing with them, learn and that's what Allan and Akim are doing
