Hong Kong Science Museum: A Fun and Educational Experience The Hong Kong Science Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in science and technology. The museum boasts a wide range of interactive exhibits that are engaging for both adults and children. From exploring the wonders of the cosmos to learning about the intricacies of human biology, there's something for everyone to enjoy. One of the highlights of the museum is the Energy Machine, a massive kinetic sculpture that demonstrates the principles of energy conservation. Watching the balls race up and down the tracks is both mesmerizing and educational. The museum also has a planetarium that offers immersive shows about astronomy and space exploration. Overall, the Hong Kong Science Museum is a fantastic place to spend a few hours learning and having fun. The exhibits are well-designed and informative, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you're ever in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Science Museum has some interesting exhibitions, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations for a city like Hong Kong. While a few exhibition areas are well-designed and engaging, others feel a bit underwhelming. One notable feature is the focus on advancements in Chinese science, like electronics, nuclear energy, and the space age. While these are fascinating topics, they seemed a bit out of place and more policy-driven than fitting the museum’s theme. The Energy Machine is a highlight, but I think it could have been more impressive if it was a purely gravity-based setup, like a marble run. Right now, many parts are motorized, which takes away some of the charm. Unfortunately, some of the permanent exhibitions were closed during my visit, which might have affected the overall experience. Overall, it wasn’t amazing but not terrible either. If you’re a big fan of science museums, it’s worth a visit, but it might not be a must-see.

An interesting museum with a decent range of scientific fields for visitors and especially young students to learn. - Magnetic fields and electromagnetism - Earthquakes and typhoons - Geology - Dinosaur age - Insects - Climate change - Environmental conscientiousness Maybe more as I didn't get to explore the entirety as I had to watch one of my kids. There's also an IQ/puzzle corner (quite a large area) with 20-30 puzzles to challenge yourself or the kids. There are also certain demonstrations of science concepts (earthquake, typhoon, etc) which there are specific timeslots to join in. And a demonstration of a large mechanical setup in the centre of the museum which showcased some science concepts but I wasn't able to watch it either. Probably interesting though.

One of the highlights of our recent Hong Kong trip was our visit to the Hong Kong Science Museum, a truly engaging destination for all ages! From interactive exhibits to hands-on experiments, the museum made learning fun and exciting for the kids, while still being fascinating for adults. It was heartwarming to see the entire family—yes, even the grown-ups—exploring, discovering, and laughing together as we tinkered with the displays. The Energy Machine was a standout, and the space and robotics sections kept everyone intrigued. Best of all, the experience was educational without feeling overwhelming. If you’re traveling to Hong Kong with your family, don’t miss this gem. It’s a place where science comes alive, curiosity is sparked, and memories are made.

The Hong Kong Science Museum is a wonderland for children, sparking their curiosity about science through interactive exhibits and engaging displays. Packed with over 500 exhibits, nearly 70% of which are hands-on, the museum allows kids to learn by doing. Whether it's experimenting with light and mirrors, building circuits, or exploring the human body, there's something to capture every child's imagination. The museum's focus on interactivity makes it a perfect place to ignite a passion for science in young minds. Every Wednesday, free admission allows families to explore the exhibits together, making science learning accessible and exciting. With its emphasis on fun and discovery, the Hong Kong Science Museum is a must-visit for families in Hong Kong.

Worth visiting when traveling with kids in HK. It’s free admission on Wednesdays (double check before you visit), plus it closes at 7pm. There a lot of hands-on interactive activities for the kids to engage with and the top level is a whole kids play area for them to go wild in. The construction playground has been done really well where kids become little builders - get to move foam bricks around by wheel barrows, crane and via chutes. Remember to get a time-slot card from staff in front of the playground before queuing up - each play session is 15min. It’s a bummer when level 2 and some other parts of the museum are under construction, so wasn’t able to see everything it has to offer. Guess that’s for next time~
