Its concept and contents revolve mainly around the general sciences with a focus on the science of energy. By providing visitors with engaging activities and imparting imaginative experiences, Petrosains hopes to create wonder and inspire the general public on excitement of learning. Petrosains Sdn.

Petrosains further extends its objective of igniting the interest and passion in science and introduce the pleasure of lifelong learning by developing many inreach and outreach programs for students, teachers and the general public both outside and within the Discovery Centre.

The Petrosains Science Festival is organized to provide a unified platform for private corporations, public institutions, scientists, academicians, artists, personalities, and Petrosains to pool together and storm up a festival of science in the hope of inspiring and attracting Malaysians to the wonders of science.
