Why we existScience isn't a subject.
Science isn't a subject.
It's something you do.
The Salem City Municipal Corporation built this park under the Smart Cities Mission so that no child has to learn science only from a textbook. Here, you walk right up to it, touch it, and try it for yourself.
“Curiosity is the cheapest fuel in the universe. We just keep the spark lit.”
Touch it
Whisper across the park, fall into a mirror tunnel, fool your own eyes. Every exhibit is built to be played with.
Get it
Big ideas click when you can feel them. Kids leave with that spark, the one that turns into scientists.
