    Наверное, лучший детский музей, который я видела! Помимо постоянных выставок есть сезонные, и все просто "бомба"! Провели 5 часов, с обедом в местной столовой, кстати, там вкусно)

    En az yarım gün sürecek muhteşem bir interaktif bir müze. Gitmişken kubbe ekranda IMAX film de izlemek lazım, planetariumda da film izlemek lazım. Biz çok etklilendik!
