* A long post ahead! 

Oh yes, you read the title right. My photo walk for June with Danix ended in a stupid and funny story. We were still exploring the Mind Museum and taking photos in our favorite section when BOOM. Aircon out, lights out and you could actually hear the breaker (or something similar to it) shutting down with no one in sight. Whut???

My brain was in shock and denial with what was happening. When it finally sunk in, Danix and I walked away from the museum feeling like idiots and laughing at our misfortune.

Let’s rewind a bit. How did this ridiculous story come about? Well we had lunch first at Recovery Food. Then, I can tell you the rest in photos! 

Danix and I love to take our time reading the materials and exploring the displays. 

You see The 10 Most Beautiful Experiments in Science when you enter. This is one of the sections that made me feel silly because some of the occurrences are part of our daily lives that it feels normal. However if you ask me to explain the phenomenon to you, I won’t be able to do so.

It’s a bit sad to see the small Filipino section of the Museum since there are only a few Filipinos in the field. However I liked that there was a portion showcasing the work and contribution of our countrymen in the field.

It is important for everyone to pass by the Climate Change exhibit since it presents scientific concepts in weather and how it has affected our country with reference to disasters that plagued us. It is alarming to see that out of the 10 major disasters, most of them happening in the last 10 years.

The more technical displays made us feel like ninnies. Hahaha We are not stupid but these displays were things we remember learning in school but completely forgot.

I had a lot of fun at the section with the Atom because of the interactive displays.



Being inquisitive by nature, I enjoyed my time in the brain chamber. You’ll find different buttons on the floor you can step on explaining the various portions of the human brain. Once you step on it, that part of the brain lights up.




I gravitated towards the exhibits about us humans, our body and our nature.
 
Another favorite section, spaaaccceee!!!

You get to walk through the Universe to Earth corridor while the universe rotates around you. It feels like the earth is moving but it actually isn’t. I got a tad dizzy here.



Another colorful section – the Lightbridge.
Also know as the area where we were when the museum closed.

Kidding aside, I cant compare the Mind Museum to other science museums in the world because I’ve never been to any of them. I appreciate that we have an interactive and kid friendly science museum in the country. I think that a lot of students will benefit from visiting the museum as it presents a lot of concepts in a conversational manner. The interactive elements of the museum make science more fun.

Regular tickets cost P600 for adults, P450 for private school students and P150 for teachers and public school students. These tickets are for THREE HOUR TIME SLOTS only and you need to secure a specific spot. The Mind Museum recommends purchasing your tickets beforehand to get the time slot you want. The All Day Pass cost P750 and does not have a time limit.

I hope you do not suffer the same misfortune we did and learned from our story. Haha
