Perched atop a hill on 8 hectares of landscaped grounds, the National Science Centre is located atop a hill in Bukit Kiara on the northwestern fringes of Kuala Lumpur. 
A fusion of modern architecture with Islamic design, a space theme park at the National Science Center presents a Space Science Show and Sky Movie on a 20m diameter dome screen. It is designed in the shape of a cone with its top removed and the whole structure is covered with a huge geodesic dome.
