National Science Center

National Science Center is known as Pusat Sains Negara in the official language of Malaysia. The National Science Center was officially opened on 29 November 1996 by former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

This center is located on a 8 hectares hill at Bukit Kiara, north west of the city of Kuala Lumpur. The purpose of this centre is to promote science and technology in the country.

As you are about to arrive here, you will be able to see a building that looks like a cone that has been truncated and capped with a geodesic dome. This futuristic looking building houses many exhibitions on science and technology that will occupy you for at least half a day.
