A World of Interactive Discovery

From virtual reality adventures and gravity-defying challenges to hands-on engineering workshops and bubble laboratories, Universe transforms scientific concepts into tangible, memorable experiences. The park's philosophy centers on making learning joyful and accessible, ensuring that both children and adults leave with a deeper appreciation for science and technology.

Attractions for Every Thrill Level

Universe caters to diverse preferences with carefully curated zones. For thrill-seekers, the Sky Trail zipline stretches 45 meters across the landscape, while the Space Spinner and VR Bumper Cars deliver adrenaline-fueled moments. The Virtual Coaster and Paradrop VR immerse visitors in digital worlds, and Beat the Storm challenges players to navigate dynamic environments.
