Very nice place to ride along with your kids
Videography is not allowed within the exhibition premises so we took quite a bit of pictures. The place is a bit like Science Centre except it is smaller in scale and number of visitors is very much lesser than that of Science Centre.
There are many variety of discovery games that are suitable for both the old and the young. Our son especially like the stepping game where one needs to step on the whiteboard in order to execute actions like kicking virtual balls, chasing virtual butterflies etc.
There is a giant sphere that emits many varieties of colors that never fails to catch the attention of our son. There is also a free 2D movie called Great North, a documentary on how people living there survives on the extreme cold weather and very scare food resource. The people living there has no internet, radio, entertainments like karaoke, movies. They have no Orchard to go shopping, all they have is very hermit-like type of life style where SGFemale and myself could never ever imagine living such simplistic life, we will probably go crazy in a day or two..;)
Great North also shows us unique ways of living that are perfectly adapted to extreme environments. Patience, a respect for nature's lessons and the bonds of community are what's needed. Inside their snow houses and tents, we watch the Inuit and Saami passing on what they know to their children, making sure that their way of life will remain eternal.
After the show, we took a 30 minutes free tour on a Safti bus that goes around the camp. We were briefed by the tour guide how the many aspects of the camp and their respective functions and history.
There are also many art and craft displays that caught our attention. All very nicely done, wonder who does all these...
There are quite many things that are very state-of-art and we greatly enjoyed ourselves. But to attract many more visitors, they may need to consider lowering the entrance fee.
