When I was still studying, I was very poor in Science subject that is
why a tour in a Science Museum is one activity I usually look forward to during
educational field trip. By incorporating education with fun and excitement, I
was able to embrace this subject even for a day. So if you are planning to
spend your vacation in Metro Manila, visiting a Science Museum is one delightful
way to have fun at the same time have an enriching experience specially if you
are a student. For adults like me who also hated Science subject, give yourself
a chance to appreciate it and nourish your inquisitive mind. Check out the list below, there might be a science
museum nearby.
