The goal is to get the South African youth to experience hands-on science, with the medium of interesting models, thought-provoking displays and educational exhibits. The museum in Pretoria is proud to house one of the countries planetariums - the inflatable planetarium, known as Starlab. If you prefer, you may arrange a guided tour through the museum so that the various aspects of technology, physics, biology and mechanics can be verbally explained and discussed, as well as the finer details of space exploration. Also of great interest to most visitors, is the Hall of Holography, where you can study the connection between lasers and real 3D images.
