Explore science through hands-on exhibits and experiments that invite children to look, try and compare. Hong Kong Science Museum is a strong indoor option for curious families who prefer doing things together to following a long guided route.

Choose a few galleries and leave time to repeat favourite activities. Enter the exhibition halls from the Upper Piazza, and check separate special-exhibition tickets before adding them to your day.
