"Established in April of 2000 with a mission to promote science, technology, and a culture of science in Kuwait, it was launched with three main attractions: The Aquarium, The Discovery Place, and The IMAX Theater. Each of these attractions focus on delivering science in locally relevant and fun, yet educational, ways. In addition to this core tenet, the Scientific Center built into its core Mission, Vision and Values the need to help build a sustainable environment, leading to numerous initiatives in the interest of saving local animal life, protecting the Arabian Gulf, and educating the public on environmental pollution."
