Traveler reviews
Valerie Ko
★★★★★2 weeks agoExtremely well-designed and highly informative about daily life in Hong Kong, including elements of traditional Chinese culture. It’s not only great for tourists but also engaging for local children. A perfect option even on rainy days, and best of all, it’s completely free. Definitely worth a visit.
Howard Fan
★★★★★a year agoGreat little museum for local history with a number of interactive activities. I initially thought this would be a very brief visit, but it's surprisingly bigger on the inside. There's a number of hands on activities including some craft stations for the kids, as well as building of a replica roof and wall. There's many movie clips playing in the background to provide further information at each display. There was also a live demonstration of wood carving on the day we visited. Entry is free.
