★★★★★a month agoThe museum itself is a beautifully designed architectural gem! When we visited, there were three separate exhibits available. Access to all of them costs around $77 per adult, but if you're on a budget, there is still plenty to see and do for free. If you have kids, don't miss the fantastic children's area right next to the ticket counters—my child happily spent two hours there enjoying all the interactive activities! Also, be sure to head up to the 4th floor to catch the free science documentaries playing in the cinema. Highly recommended for families!
