Hong Kong Space Museum — Attraction in Hong Kong

I recently visited the space museum and, while the exhibits themselves were fascinating and well-curated, my overall experience was significantly impacted by the overwhelming noise and chaos caused by young children. Kids under 12 were running around, grabbing exhibits, and occupying almost every interactive display, making it difficult for other visitors to enjoy the museum properly.

I understand that it’s the holiday season, and many families, including mainland visitors, are taking the opportunity to explore the museum. However, the lack of control over the behavior of both children and their parents was disappointing. While it’s great to see kids excited about science and space, the noise levels and lack of supervision made it hard to focus on the exhibits or learn in a peaceful environment.

I would strongly suggest that the museum consider implementing separate visiting hours for families with young children (under 12) and those without. This would allow families to enjoy the museum at their own pace while giving other visitors a chance to explore in a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Alternatively, the museum could introduce designated "quiet hours" or enforce stricter guidelines for behavior to ensure a better experience...

I only came as I had a late evening flight on a Wednesday and the museum has free entrance on a Wednesday. I come to Hong Kong often and had seen everything else! Trying to kill time after checking out of my hotel. I enjoyed it more than I thought. It was packed as you can imagine with free entrance and it was a bit difficult to concentrate and read some of the information with all the children, but I still enjoyed it. Very interactive too. Easy to navigate and understand. Absolutely great for children and adults too. I wasn't that good at Science when I was at school so it was a good lesson for me and I learnt a lot. Information is in English as well. There are two main floors. I started with the "Hall of the Cosmos" on the ground floor which showcases the Universe from near to far, travelling from the solar system that we are living in, to the stars, Milky Way and galaxies further away and exploring the science and evolution of the universe all along the way. The "Hall of Space Exploration" on the first floor depicts the development of space exploration and space technology. Pretty cool. A fun way of learning. I spent just under one and a half hours there. Staff were pleasant and friendly. ...

The place is nice, the exhibits are interactive, perfect for curious kids. There is 2 sections for the exhibits, one is on the 2nd floor and the other is on the 1st floor. I recommend standby the post office 20-30 minutes before it opens so you can come in first. For the first floor exhibit, there are some exhibits about planets and astronomic objects and light as-well as some rides like space surfing, quantum bicycle ride, and there is a show about the big bang every 10 minutes. Next to the exhibit, there is a blackhole exhibit where you can interact with a screen to see the description about blackholes and you can also feel the temperatures of blackholes according to their sizes. You can also write your opinion and answers on a paper on whether a blackhole is this or that but the machine cannot write the answer because the answer is on the qr code on the paper and the machine will just write symbols. On the 2nd floor is a theatre where you can watch shows every few hours but you need to buy the ticket from the post office and also the 2nd main exhibit about technology. There is a lot of interactive objects that your children...
