Come here on Wednesday for free admission. The Hands-on exhibits are okay and educative. Absolutely worth a visit for kids.

We have two boys aged 5 and 7 and thought we would spend a few hours here as weather was wet. Brilliant value and we ended up spending the whole day there and never a dull moment. Well laid out; kept us adults and the kids entertained the whole day - interactive displays as well as thinking toys in lower... More

It's still a cool place with lots of stuff for kids, but many of the exhibits and machines are too old - pictures of people with 70s/80s haircuts abound. An update would surely make it even more impressive, as it's a great thing to have in the city.

School-age kids, especially those interested in Science, will love this museum. Coming from shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui, my 7- and 5-year olds were totally whining about how tired they already were from walking, but once they saw the exhibits, all their complaints instantly vanished!! Their favorites were definitely the mirrors/optical illusions at the basement, we practically had to pry... More

Not really for adults. The Lobby and brochures are very misleading.

This is a very impressive museum with lots of technology and hands-on activities. There is too much to absorb in one visit but we particularly enjoyed the mirrors! It was good to see so many children enjoying the exhibits and using a musuem pass would be a good option to do one part at a time.

It was good for most families. They have a lot of stuff. It you don't like the crowds, don't go on Wednesday, as it is Free admission, but if you want it free go on Wednesday.

This museum is Government-operated so maintenance is just so-so but the quality of exhibits is not bad, and can be educational and fun for small kids. Bring them here if you can spare a morning for the little ones!
