Similar to a chemistry laboratory, children experience different chemical or physical changes and get inspired through different scientific cooking programs. Since the new kitchen is located in the middle of exhibition area, half of the 16-meter glass wall can be slid open to adjust the transparency and accessibility between the new and the existing chemistry exhibition area on one side. The leisure zone provides sofa, bookcase with scientific cooking books and the wall of colorful spices that introduce both visual and taste experiences to visitors.
