While some visitors wish for more exhibits, the overall experience is considered excellent value for money and a great educational outing for families and science enthusiasts.
"Digha Science Centre is one of the beautiful place we visited. Many a learning things were there. My child enjoyed the learning things.
It is one of satellite units of the Birla Industrial and Technological Museum functioning under the aegis of the National Council of Science Museums, Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The centre was built by the Government of India to propagate knowledge of science and technology to tourists, the rural community, and students as well as versions of science education or awareness activities.
We also went for the show on astronomy and 3d videos. In 3d video they r providing spectacles to viewers. There were many amusing things at the park.. Canteen was good at reasonable price. Overall a knowledgeable place for all.. Can have a visit if going to Digha..."

"The place has basic practical education of science with others education about space, historical significance of world and fun of science not only that it has also a beautiful science park where children are able learn and play with physics. Price of ticket is Rs 40 for each ☺️ so cheap price that you will enjoy it with little money. I have enjoyed a lot but it quite discouraging about few things of science it is needed more things added in the museum and if say about structure of area of museum is so small like loan garden in a house but you can enjoy it 😉."
