It's a nice place but I had higher expectations. I am commenting on this as two adults without kids. We like science centres and we wanted to see what it offered to also adults. We also had a lot of spare time so we visited it. I wouldn't put this as a must see on any tourist list if you are short on time or visiting for few days. But anyways, you can see most of what it offers within half a day.

We liked their fire tornado show and the robot arms show was cool (though its targeted to kids), and we also liked some exhibitions which were educational and informative. However, I felt some of the exhibitions were more heavy on the reading text rather than interactivty. Some of the interactive tools didn't work especially on the robot exhibition.

It also had extra exhibitions like the butterfly exhibit which had separate tickets and I thought that should have been included in the original ticket.

The labs offered in the "be a scientist for a day" exhibit were very disappointing and basic. But the staff that worked there were very nice and helpful (all staff there were very nice).

It's mostly made for an audience of children, but I felt 30% to 40% of it is suitable to adults too (though expect to read a lot). I think this place needs a lot more effort to catch up to the level of science museums that I've seen in London and Amsterdam.
