Last April we visited the Regional Science Centre (Science Park) in Bhubaneswar, and it was one of the coolest trips ever. We didn’t just look at things; we played with science! The highlight of our trip was the brand-new Dinosaur Park, which opened just recently in 2025. Imagine walking among giants that lived millions of years ago!

1. The New Dinosaur Park: A Walk with Giants
The moment we stepped into the Prehistoric Life Park, we felt like we were in a movie! There are life-sized models of famous dinosaurs like the T-Rex and the long-necked Diplodocus.
What makes it special is the Storytelling Light & Sound Show. The dinosaurs don't just stand there; they come to life with sounds and lights that tell you how they lived. It’s a bit scary but mostly super exciting! We learned about different species and saw what the Earth looked like before humans were even around.
2. Galleries We Loved: Motion, Math, and More
Inside the building, there are three main galleries:
Motion Gallery: This was my favorite! You can pull levers and push buttons to see how things move. It explains Newton's laws and gravity using fun games.
Mathematics Gallery: Think math is boring? Think again! Here, you can play with puzzles, shapes, and patterns that make math feel like a giant game.
Popular Science: This gallery has the famous Mirror House. You can see yourself in a hundred different ways or make yourself look tall, short, or wiggly!
3. Outdoor Fun: The Science Park
The fun doesn't stop inside! The outdoor park is filled with "Science Toys." We played with:
Musical Tubes: Bang on them to hear different notes.
The Sundial: A giant clock that uses the sun to tell the time!
The Echo Tube: Shout into one end and hear your voice travel to the other side of the park.
