A large science and technology museum themed "Nature, People, Technology", opened in 2001. More than a dozen permanent exhibition areas include Spectrum of Life (a simulated tropical-rainforest ecosystem), Crust Exploration, Robot World, and Information Age; the taxidermy herds in the Animal World area are especially popular, while the IMAX science cinema and the Science Theater run year-round alongside special exhibitions. Highly interactive, it is the main science-outreach destination for families and teenagers, and together with the adjacent Century Park it forms a science-and-culture line in Pudong.
Getting there: Metro Line 2, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station
