Communications Museum — Attraction in Nossa Senhora de Fátima

The Macau Museum of Communications (MOP10 per person) is a educational and family friendly attraction that is makes for a fun way to spend a couple hours, especially for those visiting Macau with families. Opening Hours 9.30am-5pm. The museum is closed on Mondays and national holidays.

This is a surprisingly enjoyable museum where you will find three floors of displays on historic communications, telecommunications and general electronics presented in a child-friendly and interactive way. You are issued a smart card as you enter the museum and use it to participate in various interactive activities and to activate certainly monitors, displays and programmes.

We most enjoyed the stamp assembly station and the flight simulator you can try on the 2nd floor. The newsroom camera was also enjoyable as were the many cable, phone and electromagnetism stations were very interesting and good fun, even for adults. Everything in the museum is modern and in good working condition.

They have bathroom, decent gift shop with stamps and other souvenirs and a small seating area with drink dispenser machines (no cafe).

Overall, we consider this a great museum for those who are visiting with families and looking for child-friendly place to spend time in Macau. It is also a very good option during bad weather days when visitors are seeking indoor attractions.

Find and circle the Communication Museum on the map and give it to your taxi driver. They will know how...

There were almost no visitors or tourists in the museum eventhough we visited the museum on holiday. We enjoyed spending time in trying and looking into various displayed items.

By using the admission pass, you can also make your own stamps, as well as creating postcards with your pretty faces. It was an inspiring experience for us to visit the museum. P.S., don't forget to get yourself a cool freezing drink from the vending machine, their vending machine owns the cheapest price of drinks among...

This museum is free entry. The third floor of the museum is the most interesting. It exhibits a lot of information and models about telecommunications, including detailed information about telecommunications waves and electric circuits.

The second floor is about postage and has an exhibit of stamps around the world.

The information is interesting for both kids and adults. We spent over an hour in this museum.
