Luanda Science Centre
About this destination
The Centro de Ciência de Luanda (Luanda Science Centre) is an interactive science space for all ages, housed in a restored former soap factory next to the Marginal de Luanda.
It was inaugurated in December 2023, ran for about a year on a trial basis and opened to the general public at the start of 2025. It covers about 10 000 m², of which 6 000 m² are exhibition space.
The eight exhibitions range from dinosaurs to a soap factory that recalls the building's history, with hands-on modules for you to touch, try out and learn from. There is also a planetarium, a butterfly house, a laboratory, a science kitchen, an auditorium, a media library and a café.
It is one of the best things to do in Luanda if you are travelling with children, and for curious adults too. It is open Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays, from 9:00 to 17:00.
