Very informative exhibitions, enjoyed the special exhibition "Let's Play" as there are many different table top games that we can learn and try it out on our own. We also get to try playing against the robot! We can also borrow some board and card games, it was a fun session!

Garden of Senses was a very small exhibit, just the foyer/ lobby area of the 2nd floor. Did have some interesting things like the containers/ pump Flasks with the tea leaves so that you can smell the different type of the tea leaves. shouldn't be more than 20-30 mins if you do take pictures and read on the different displays. Let's Play was located all the way inside the exhibition hall, (DO NOT DROP your entry Sticker). Did showcase the different games throughout the different cultures through time. There's also a small area where you can play a few of the board games, like chess/ weiqi/ go, chinese chess. There's also like 2 AI machines where you can play against the AI for some games. This was an interesting experience. The machine will also clear the board after you are done. Nice and friendly volunteer at that station to help us with the set up/ explanation. There's a additional play area near the foyer/ stairs to the first floor where you can borrow the different type of games to try out. This was worth the money for the experience. The staff were all helpful and polite and informative.
