Anna Science Centre

Anna Science Centre is a science museum in Tiruchirappalli with dedicated halls for physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Each hall offers hands-on experiments that allow visitors to learn scientific concepts through direct participation and observation.

The center was established in 1999 by the Tamil Nadu government as part of an effort to advance scientific knowledge in the region. Its founding reflected a commitment to making science education more available to the local population.

The center serves people from Tamil Nadu and beyond with programs that bridge language gaps and make science education available to all visitors. It plays an important role in how the region's residents learn about the natural world.

The center is open most days, with regular planetarium shows and guided tours available for visitors. It is best to allow several hours to explore the different halls and participate in the hands-on activities.

The Evolution Park on the grounds spans two hectares and displays physical models showing how different species developed over time. Visitors can also see replicas of creatures from the Jurassic period, illustrating biological change across millions of years.
