A fun place to go with kids. There’s a whole floor dedicated to kids. We spent a good few hours exploring the different floors and had a great time.

Great information, worthy to visit with young kids. Slightly outdated, however worth a look.

I would suggest to start from the bottom floor with the dinosaurs - then to human body and then sound and communications. The best one was the 3rd floor - which had travel / cars and planes.

Truly amazing experience both for kids and adults. Hours of experiments, observing, amusing and fun. Plan no less than 3 hours for this place. About HK$20 admission for an adult.

My kids enjoyed the science museum. Lots of fun stuff to do while learning. Recommended for kids.
There's this giant marble run - quite fascinating.

A really fun place for your kids to play with all day long. Admission here is really not expensive and a lot of activities are really good science facts. There is even a simulator in the basement which can simulate driving buses, taxis and trains. We had lots of fun playing it round and round and round for almost an hour. There is also a really cool thing that there’s a track for big balls to run through, and it’s really cool watching them roll through the track around the whole museum. It’s like a extra large version of a marble race. This place has really convenient transportation as it is right next to the East Tsim Sha Tsui Station and a Bus stop nearby. There is also a shop which sells science related things for kids when you exit the museum. They are a little more expensive but to really expensive.

Great place for kids with a curious streak. Hands on exhibits. Good for younger kids as they have a new section opened up. Had fun as an adult too! Must visit in HK if you have kids.

Not a bad place! Take advantage of the student discount - you don't even have to be a student in Hong Kong. My American student ID got me in for $5 HKD, including the special exhibit, which right now (early 2018) is a focus on graphene and other "super materials." Really cool exhibit, but the best exhibits were the hall of mirrors and the biodiversity section of the life science hall. The telecommunication exhibit seems like it hadn't been updated since like 2006 not exactly up to date. However, worth a visit!

Well Worth a Visit
This centre has a definite skew towards exhibits about energy however if you find yourself in HK and have a few hours to spare you should consider this museum. The 3-floor kinetic exhibit alone is worth the visit if you are a fan of Rube Goldberg machines. The museum also has demonstrations that are run by engaging demonstrators.

Admission here was $2.50 USD and gave many hours of entertainment - definitely not expected!

I came here while waiting for my ICC light show star ferry tour to burn some time and was pleasantly surprised by how cheap it was AND how much activity there was for the price. The exhibits we're very interactive, demonstrations were fun to watch (salmon roe soda?!) and overall good vibes from the crowd.

Definitely recommend if you're interested in passing some time and like interactive exhibits!

Geared more towards children but I still enjoyed looking around at the various interactive displays. Keep in mind that a number of the activities run on set times and I unfortunately arrived later in the day and missed them so it would pay to look them up before you go so you can schedule your trip in accordance. I think this would be a very fun and informative visit for kids and families but also has appeal for adults like me who are interested in science and how things work.

Very dated traditional science museum desperately in need of modernization. Everything feels like it ends in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Compared to other science museums in East Asia this is pretty disappointing. Free on Wednesdays and on the upside the museum store is quite good.

It was okay. It was very hard to get interested in this museum. I don't know why. The bed of nails had a weight limit of 77 kilograms. Even the largest, most prominent exhibit the 22-m (72 ft) high twin-tower Energy Machine which is the largest of its kind in the world was a disappointment. It had numerous paths but the balls took the same path. About 5 things impressed me, mirrors, OHSA, sound waves, children area watching them get shocked and the engines.

I would give this museum 3.5 stars. We went on Wednesday when a lot of museums in Hong Kong r free. We only had time to go to the basement and 1st level. The museum had dual signs in Chinese as well as English. I loved the Hall of Mirrors, Biodiversity Gallery and Life Sciences. However, there r a lot of exhibits that were broken in the Jockey Club Environmental Conservation Gallery. The demonstration on molecular gastronomy was excellent. The women's restroom on the bottom floor was exceptionally clean. The cleaning person was using a long arm squeegee to clean the mirror. The museums's store was small, but had a good amount of toys and gadgets for kids.

Not for adults kind of museum. Too many kids on weekends. Hard to move around and very noisy. Not good! Lots of science-y toys for kids to play with. Good for families but wouldn't recommend for childless couples or adults who likes serious science.

As far as science museums go, this one is good. There are a wide range of permanent exhibits and the temporary ones can be excellent. The current one is a mummy exhibition from the British Museum.

The exhibition about mummies was great, both in terms of the quality of exhibit and how the museum presents it. As I remember, the Science Museum organises world-class quality exhibitions once per a few years. It has always been the best government-managed museum in Hong Kong.

We come here mainly for local friend inform for special exhibition. The museum manage to borrow some Egypt mummies and related objects from British Museum base on new x rays technologies breakthrough can scan thru the wrapped mummies and understand further how they are wrapped in the ancient past. Meaningful insight for the fact and see it by own eye. Beside that it more I think for the kid is very young age said primary school audience.

Good for kids under 10. Some of the exhibits are dated with relation to gender roles. E.g., an exhibit helps you understand how electronic communications can help a manager who needs to a present for (his) wife, a housewife who needs to manage the household, or a student.
There is an impressive 3 storey high "mousetrap" machine that runs every 2 hours from 11am. It takes 20 minutes to run the complete program, with balls going through funnels, striking chimes, up elevators - very interesting to watch.
The science museum, overall, is targeted at helping kids understand how the items we use every day really work. Good for parents of kids with loads of questions about how the fridge / dehumidifier / mobile phone towers work.

Overall, a good place to hang out with children (probably up to 10 years old) indoor for 2 to 3 hours. The new Children's Gallery on the top floor is a good addition catering to the youngest 2 to 7 year olds. It is quite popular, which means a bit crowded. The museum has done a good job doing interesting temporary exhibits and gradually (slowly) updating the permanent exhibits in the past couple years, but still work in progress. Half of the museum is outdated and irrelevant to today's technology. Most of the lower level is under renovation right now.

Absolutely top class, one of the best places to learn about science in the world, let alone in Hong Kong itself. Reasonable admission fares and absolutely fantastic value of money!

The museum is perfect to take your kids for a full on fun activities. There's so much to see and learn. Don't miss coming here with your kids.

A great place to bring children. Tickets are inexpensive. Use an Octopus for easy convenience. Lots to see including galleries and exhibitions such as the Energy Machine. One of the great museums of Tsim Sha Tsui. Get to Tsim Sha Tsui or East Tsim Sha Tsui and look at the Exit info to get here. Only disadvantage, too big to go through in a day! Also right next to the History Museum which is also a great place to visit.

Nice place especially when you are going with children. The tickets are cheap and totally worth the money. You will find explanations about almost anything. Only disadvantage is that it is to big to go through in one day:)
