5 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/kolkata·8 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Science City appears on several locals' lists of Kolkata's worthwhile tourist stops, and one commenter recommends it for visitors keen on science or history, suggesting you treat it as a science and history museum rather than a theme park and take time to understand each exhibition. The honest caveats: two commenters warn that many of the machines are broken or rusted, and another visitor says crowds and noisy children detract from the experience.
