Guangdong Science Center — Attraction in Guangzhou City

Holds a Guinness World Record for being the most massive science museum in the world. That should tell wonders about the place already.

That being said, like others have said, you really should factor at least 5+ hours to really appreciate everything this place has to offer. Otherwise, you will miss out on a lot.

we also found a few molded popcorns in ours

this is probably the worst science center experience I ever had!

bonus. both men and women bathroom sign are pink! saw multiple mishap while...

Don't be misled by the claim of this being the world's largest science centre. The building itself is cavernous indeed; however, the galleries and exhibits take up maybe one quarter of the space. There are loads of empty space especially in the common areas, occupied mainly by kids on their phones. The exhibits are a bit dated but generally well maintained. Gift shop was a...
