Konya Science Center continues its mission to foster interest in science and technology by welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Türkiye each year.
Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that the Konya Science Center continues to serve as Türkiye’s first and largest science center, established with the support of TÜBİTAK.
Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay noted that since its opening in 2013, the Konya Science Center has successfully sustained its mission of fostering a love of science among people of all ages, particularly children and young people.
Emphasizing that the center is Türkiye’s first and largest science center supported by TÜBİTAK, Altay said, “In 2025, the Konya Science Center completed another strong year, bringing science to broad audiences through activities that encourage scientific curiosity and are based on participatory learning. Over the past year, our Science Center hosted numerous programs, events, projects, and organizations. Consistently increasing its visitor numbers each year, our science hub welcomed more than 722,000 visitors in 2025.”
Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay also stated that since its opening, the total number of visitors welcomed by the Konya Science Center has reached nearly 4 million.
Emphasizing that these figures clearly demonstrate the success of the steps taken so far, Altay said, “The visitor numbers achieved by our Science Center once again show how right our decisions have been. I would like to thank all our citizens and students, especially our fellow residents of Konya, as well as those who have come from other cities, for their strong interest in our Science Center. As Konya Metropolitan Municipality, we will continue to support education, science, and technology with determination. Our Konya Science Center will continue to make a name for itself in the coming years with new projects, God willing.”
