Hong Kong Space Museum

Unclaimed

One can't miss the dome shaped building especially at night. This is the Hong Kong Space Museum commissioned in 1980. My elder son is a big space fan and a visit to this museum as tourist was to teach his younger brother his knowledge of space. The museum was crowded but we patiently waited for our turn on each and every exhibit. My favourite was what happens to our body in space and surfing in space ?. Kids everywhere some learning, exploring and some making new friends. We had a good time even though we did miss some exhibit because of the crowd but we still enjoyed.

It was raining outside and we thought what else do we do other than visiting a Museum, at first we were skeptic that it would be just another historical museum but to our surprise it had a science wing which was pretty interesting and a lot more fun activities. Good experience for 1-2 hour indoor excursion!

Magnificent building. Looks grand from across the streets. We did not get time to visit the museum, but it definitely looks interesting. With all lights all lit up at night, worth to stop by here.

Located on the HK promenade. Easily accessible by multiple modes of public transport. Came across this option for things to do while visiting HK. Was staying at TST, so just a short walking distance away. Our 2 13yos had an amazing time. The entry ticket to the space museum is very reasonably priced and tickets for students are cheaper. There's 1 museum at the ground floor where you get to learn about the galaxies, planets and stars, with very informative and interactive displays and activities inside. Another museum / display on the 1st floor, where the past and future of space travel have been shown in detail. Accompanied by displays, artifacts and activities. On the 1st floor, there's a dome shaped cinema where movies/shows related to nature and space - dinosaurs, the Arctic and space - the 3 movies being played when we visited. There's a schedule that you can view online as well. These are paid and you can opt for them. This was a good experience for both adults and children. They enjoyed a lot. Worth a couple of hours, if you have time to spare.
