"Learning Through Fun Just across from the Hong Kong Museum of History in Tsim Sha Tsui is the Hong Kong Science Museum. Here, the name of the game is learning through fun interactive experiences. Through over 500 exhibits, children (and adults!) will be introduced to the science of light, math, motion, sound, and more. You can't miss the Energy Machine, which takes up four stories and is the largest of its kind in the world. Keep an eye out for special exhibitions, too, that occur year-round and will surely keep the kids on their curious little toes."

One of the highlights of our recent Hong Kong trip was our visit to the Hong Kong Science Museum, a truly engaging destination for all ages! From interactive exhibits to hands-on experiments, the museum made learning fun and exciting for the kids, while still being fascinating for adults. It was heartwarming to see the entire family—yes, even the grown-ups—exploring, discovering, and laughing together as we tinkered with the displays. The Energy Machine was a standout, and the space and robotics sections kept everyone intrigued. Best of all, the experience was educational without feeling overwhelming. If you’re traveling to Hong Kong with your family, don’t miss this gem. It’s a place where science comes alive, curiosity is sparked, and memories are made.

Worth visiting when traveling with kids in HK. It’s free admission on Wednesdays (double check before you visit), plus it closes at 7pm. There a lot of hands-on interactive activities for the kids to engage with and the top level is a whole kids play area for them to go wild in. The construction playground has been done really well where kids become little builders - get to move foam bricks around by wheel barrows, crane and via chutes. Remember to get a time-slot card from staff in front of the playground before queuing up - each play session is 15min. It’s a bummer when level 2 and some other parts of the museum are under construction, so wasn’t able to see everything it has to offer. Guess that’s for next time~

The museum was super fun with hands on experience on exhibitions which makes children's very interested in science. It's perfect for a date too. You need at least 4-5 hours here to explore everything. Recommend to go at 2 pm and then leave around 7 pm

Another place to visit if you have additional time during your holidays. Some nice exhibitions and my kids loved the dinosaur exhibition. A lot of interactive sections too. Best part, kids enter for free. Fare for adults is HKD20.

Loved this! So many interactive machines for kids to experience. We were lucky to see the largest attraction operate just after arriving which was amazing and my son loved it! Well organised and can spend hours there. Definitely recommend it.

The Hong Kong Science Museum has some interesting exhibitions, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations for a city like Hong Kong. While a few exhibition areas are well-designed and engaging, others feel a bit underwhelming. One notable feature is the focus on advancements in Chinese science, like electronics, nuclear energy, and the space age. While these are fascinating topics, they seemed a bit out of place and more policy-driven than fitting the museum’s theme. The Energy Machine is a highlight, but I think it could have been more impressive if it was a purely gravity-based setup, like a marble run. Right now, many parts are motorized, which takes away some of the charm. Unfortunately, some of the permanent exhibitions were closed during my visit, which might have affected the overall experience. Overall, it wasn’t amazing but not terrible either. If you’re a big fan of science museums, it’s worth a visit, but it might not be a must-see.
