The Hong Kong Science Museum is a modern, interactive museum that is educational, enlightening and a lot of fun for all ages. There are over 500 exhibits within the 3-storey building – many of the galleries are hands-on, allowing you to play with robotics, enjoy virtual reality, and even use wires for communication.
Visit the Transportation hall on the 2nd floor, where you’ll see a full-sized DC3 aeroplane (the first airliner in Hong Kong), suspended from the ceiling. The Hong Kong Science Museum also displays a 22-metre-tall twin-tower Energy Machine which, when activated, produce spectacular audio-visual effects demonstrating various forms of energy.
