The Cape Town Science Centre is a not-for-profit[1] science centre in Cape Town, South Africa. It forms part of a wide range of non-classroom initiatives to improve the quality of science understanding and science literacy in South Africa.
Until early 2010, the MTN Sciencentre was located in the Canal Walk shopping mall.[2] It will reopen in Observatory later in 2011.[3]
The MTN Sciencentre's Ericsson cell phone is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest working cell phone.[4]
