Science Discovery Center to open in Manila
Leisure Entertainment Consultancy (LEC) in Long Beach, California, US, has teamed up with local mall operator SM Prime Holdings to develop a US$7m (£3.7m, 5.5m euro) SM Science Discovery Center in the Mall of Asia in Manila, the Philippines.
The 4,000sq m (43,000sq ft) SM Science Center will comprise three zones on two levels – Technoverse, Modern Marvels and What’s Next. Each zone will feature four innovative exhibits based on technological and science-based themes.
The exhibits will include Media City, Transportation Nation, City Science, Bio Voyager, Bot Inc and Virtual Aquarium.
An E&S Digitstar Planetarium housed inside a 16m (170ft) sphere will be the centrepiece.
Targeted as a family educational centre, the attraction will provide multi-user interactive and multimedia experiences as well as an hourly light and laser show.
LEC plans and designs theme parks, waterparks, museums and attractions. Details: www.lecworldwide.com or www.smprime.com
