The MTN ScienCentre at Canal Walk is an interactive science museum aimed at children. The idea is that kids can have fun while learning basic scientific and technological concepts. There are over 280 displays, computer rooms, labs, etc.

Children are encouraged to get involved and interact with the displays as the best way of getting started. There are also many shows aimed at introducing children to specific concepts. For instance every Saturday and Sunday at 13:00 there is an "explosive science" show.

A lot of effort is put into updating the exhibits and shows on offer - to keep children interested. Check out the Newsletters section of the website in order to see highlights for the current month
