Small and nice museum about science. A good place for family with children. They have some shows that introduce some concepts of science to young and adults alike. My children found it very exciting. You can spend around 1 hour easily.

Good for children to understand science better . Not too expensive.We had to wait for about 15 minutes as they had to control the crowd to maintain social distancing.Not many exhibits (some were not working) but we still enjoyed. We finished browsing within an hour an half as they have science shows at certain intervals.

All the information is elaborated in Arabic and English. Except DocumentyIt was in English.Overall kids enjoyed alot for good 3 hours.

Sharjah has a good number of interesting museums which might not be known to Dubai residents. This is one of them and is a must visit for children. It has a number of games and activities which are aimed at explaining scientific laws and theories while entertaining the children: optical illusions, Ames Room, hot air 🎈balloons, forward motion, plasma, electricity generation and many others. You can spend a good 1-2 hours here and then end your visit with a hot or cold drink to the cafeteria. If you are driving 🚗 from outside Sharjah then I would recommend combining it with a lunch in one of Sharjahs restaurants/ malls as well visiting one of Sharjahs markets such as Gifts Market which has a wide variety of goods conveniently priced in the range of AED 1-20.

A very informative and entertaining place for kids. They gave 3 presentations also one about astronaut second about laser light and third about nitrogen gas, all were very informative. We spent 3 to 4 hours over there and didnt even feel that we have spent this much time, kids also enjoyed a lot.

Loved it for the simplicity yet learning or even re-learning opportunity. Parents must make that effort to take the kids to this place as there are multiple practical learning opportunities for the kids. They must also try and re-learn the concepts so that they can use these in their lives as well as clarify doubts for the Children. This place will boost the confidence of visiting Students as they will be able to see practical application of the Tech/machines.

A
Review №12

A good experience for kids to explore science. It is neither too big nor too small but many sections were closed due to the covid 19 situation. Planetarium was also kept closed. It was less crowded thus our kids enjoyed this place. Great place for children. Quite economical as well.

A
Review №13

Very outdated. As 1/4 of museum is closed now due to Covid-measures, hardly worth a visit even though well maintained and inexpensive. Only for those who are interested to see how science museums looked like in the 90s.

Useful for children.. Lot of science learning activities

Review №15

Amazing place. I’m surprised it wasn’t busy. It’s not too big and not too small. Perfect for children. They have workshops (where they give the kids free booklets and gadgets to do visual tricks) CCA and shows.They have an amazing group of friendly staff that explain everything and show you mind games.There is a cafeteria but we didn’t try it. Entrance fees was very reasonable so definitely worth going to.Plus there is a small play area for the younger children who might not be interested in the science games which is extremely thoughtful.

A good place for exploring more about different science facts.. would have been more interesting if the planetarium and the closed displays were functional as well..Suggestion to Add bit more experiences in the venue to make it a much awaited alternative for engaging the kids.

A
Review №19

Good place to go with kids. A lot of interactive scientific things. Nice electrical show. Unfortunately, the playground was closed due to the Covid restrictions... And take some food with you, the cafe menu is poor. The rest all great.

Review №20

The experience was the same as when i went here 20 yrs back. I was hoping for some new attractions but there were none plus some of the exciting ones were closed too like the Solar system, the Shadow room and all the microscopes were roped off. There is always something new to learn in Science so its only apt that this place should also keep showing off the latest discoveries time to time.

A
Review №21

This place is a hidden gem for the kids. It has ongoing workshops and seminars which kids can attend and also has a lot of ready experiments for teenagers and pre teens. Ideal for kids between 8 to 15.

A
Review №22

An amazing place for kids to experience various science experiments and activities. There are teachers who are there to help you understand the different things. There is a small play area with small slides, books, an extensive kitchen.

A
Review №23

Its a nice place for children to play and learn around, However, i think they need to sanitize more especially in peak season when people are touching and playing around the scientific things.

A
Review №39

Light, mass, force, electricity tricks explained from position of science. It worth to spend there a day with family. Even adults would be amazed with some installations.

A
Review №40

One of the best indoor activities that school students would love. It has many areas for them to experience. It is better to check on their website about opening/operating areas prior visit. However, the staff at the reception and counter were very welcoming and helpful in providing details including sections that are opened and closed.It wasnt suitable for children under 5yrs old as the staff inside the exhibition area doesnt like a child making noise with excitement or running. Thats the sad part!

A

Its a smallish museum, but worth the price. Some of the activities are closed off due to covid. They have shows as well, such as a demonstration on electricity.

A
Review №55

It is a nice wee museum with activities for kids. However, most likely due to covid, a lot of it was sectioned off. But it is still enough to kill an hour of your time. Prices are fair, 10 aed per adult and 5 aed per child. Plenty of learning opportunities for children.

The Sharjah Science Museum is located in a picturesque area. The museum has ample parking, though it can get water-logged during rains. Entry rates are low, and concessional tickets are available for children and senior citizens. The interactive exhibits not only educate, they also entertain. I saw many visitors smiling or laughing. Even if you are not exactly a child, dont hesitate to visit this place.

Fun with education. My kids really enjoyed it. Its small but worth it. 10 dirhams for adult and 5 dirhams for kids.

A

Very economical only AED 5 for ages 2 to 13 and AED 10 for above 13. Good learning for kids, interactive displays, play area for toddlers and informative shows/presentations. Best part doesnt feel crowded went on friday around 5 and spent 2 hours. Small cafe, prayer room and washrooms available

A
Review №77

It is a nice place for kids to live the adventure of science. Still, the museum needs to update its methods to attract the attention of contemporary children who like to know more about for instance, the power and wonders of computer systems and its role in our life which the museum clearly lacks.

A
Review №78

Good place for little ones to explore. Some exhibits are closed due to Covid but a good experience.

A
Review №90

Must visit place in Sharjah for children as they will really learn the marvels of science and experience the wonders. The bubble show, planetarium, static electricity demonstration are very clear and allow our children to participate in their experiments which is quite thrilling and exciting. Adults are also allowed to resolve the puzzle which is breathtaking

A
Review №91

Kids loved the place, It give them the chance to know how stuff works and whats inside us and also simple scientific experiments to widen there minds and ideas , highly recommend for kids 9 years and above.

A
Review №92

This is one of Sharjahs best museums for children. It is more of an exhibits hall than a research center - but your kids aged 2 to 12 will find it fun. The staff people are kind to a fault, and they often hold special shows (think basic talks about lasers, the solar system and electricity). There is a basic cafe (featuring things like sausage rolls and juice boxes) and an inexpensive gift shop, too.

A
Review №93

Really amazing museum for your kids to experience ... It has 2 departments one for the food dine & beside it a air bubble human size which you can definitely try 👍👍 and on the other side is more of the scientific stuff like .. human body , visual illusions , working of most physics and most importantly there is a special dark room in which they can display the so much discovered universe mostly planets & a few simple facts ! Atleast thats that I saw .

A
