South Korea - National Science museum

We were on our way from suwon(yeong tong) to Seoul Grand park and happened to see this museum on the way. We instantly decided to take Doniv there hoping to show him the fastest train(Maglev) which he always loved watching on youtube.

I definitely recommend this to all kids at least once when they are in korea. Its truly a scientific experiencef or both you and your kids. As we entered, we saw loads of mechanical playtools for kids. They seemed to be very interesting. Even beeeg xylaphones were available.

 

 The tool what you see below is an x-ray machine through which we can actually see the cancerous cells in the body.

Of all the amusements in this museum, the most fascinating one was the robot dance. The best dance was when the robots did a very fast dance for Indian song.. yea,indian song... They had played daler mehendi's. This could be probably because they saw us there.. Well, we enjoyed it with full josh...

Doniv all excited when he saw the train.  However, we were still hoping to see the MAGLEV somewhere inside.

The pictures below shows the scientific nodes in computerising pottery designs.

The picture below shows of how they generate tremendous volts where you can actually see the brights sparks and heavy sounds. Some kids were even scared at the noise.....

And there you go... we finally saw MAGLEV.... The picture for maglev is not clear to be presented here..sorry about that :)... YOu could as well have a look at it in youtube....

Doniv too keen on stealing Sir. Issac's Apples:).. Well, Sir Issac was too busy to notice this.

Doctor Einstein was quite inspiring. Doniv was too carried away with scientific inputs during their meet ;).

The day ended fine with loads of scientific wonders filling our minds. And Doniv still stern on his ambition of driving the fastest train for his profession. We visited the dinosaurs for a short conversation and returned home :).

Good : Amazing things to see and learn. YOu could spend an entire day here.

Sadly : you will get only snacks and noodles for lunch; however,there a place where you could have your home-food. Also, Most info is in korean.
