★★★★★4 months agoThat was a stunning place, large and well invested. The content about science is not really suitable for younger kids (grade 4 below) except the kids are keen on Science, space and stuff. I chose the 3D movie experience and the movie was about solar system. It was great. However, the content about solar system was not new to us, so I wish I could have chosen the documentary about elephants. Entrance fee is free for my daughter (6years old), only for adults. The tickets for the show is reasonable and many promotion for HK residents.

★★★★★2 months agoThis was quite the unexpected gem. With lots of interesting information and hands-on displays, this kept us engaged for well over 2 hours. Add into that the films that are also showing there is a good half days worth of entertainment. Well worth a visit 👍
