Municipality of Burgas received funding for the construction of a children's science center with a planetarium in a free access zone, near the port. It is foreseen that the Children's Science Center will be located on the 1st and 2nd floor of the Marine Station and the Planetarium in its immediate vicinity. Over the implementation of the project will be jointly implemented by the Municipality of Burgas, the Port of Burgas, the State Enterprise "Port Infrastructure", the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Energy. The concept of the Children's Science Center prepares the team of "Museum", which has already shown to Bulgaria its creativity. It includes three different areas and interactive equipment in three directions:
- The past;
- Energy - a place to study ecology and scientific experiments;
- Innovations - where children will be able to develop their imagination and keep abreast of the news and trends of the 21st century.
A children's center will not be just a playground. There the children will learn in an experimental environment in an interesting way for them. In the world there is an increasing demand for specialists in the field of engineering and natural sciences, and in Bulgaria such specialists are not enough. Thanks to the science center they will become more interesting and understandable for the children. It is expected that due to its unusual form of the planetarium it will become one of the emblematic landmarks of Bourgas. There will be an 8-meter dome in it and through 2D and 3D visualization there will be displayed our familiar cosmos. There the children will gain knowledge of astronomy, physics and other exact sciences.
