The Sikkim Science Centre features attractions such as a 3D theatre, planetarium, and innovation hub, all designed to offer an engaging and educational experience for those interested in science. Tourists will be encouraged to visit the centre and participate in its various activities.

Tambe said that including the Science Centre in the tourism map will benefit the local community and school students. It will help the local population appreciate the importance of science and technology and provide children with new learning opportunities.
