About us

Almaty Children's Science Museum

A place where physics, chemistry and astronomy are learned by hand, not from a textbook.

The museum brings together interactive exhibits, a science lab and a planetarium. Every exhibit is built for self-guided exploration: children can start it, spin it and find out how things actually work.

We work with families and schools. Classes get dedicated morning sessions with a lighter hall load and a science tutor on site.

Our mission

To show children that science is not a school subject but a way of making sense of the world.
