We saw 3 of the available shows, most of them are daily. We learnt loads about space exploration history and planets. It's a good value for money attraction and unlike anything else I've been to More

What can I say? Looked promising from the outside and the admission price is cheap. Almost all the exhibits were disappointing and a lot of them looked really dated. No accounts of recent space travels like the Hubble, space junk problems, China's first astronauts. Most of the exhibits looked like propaganda for the Chinese Space Mission, which is understandable I... More

There is a theatre in the space museum. And the screen is on the ROOF! So you have to face up. It might make you a bit dizzy, but the movie is really cool. It tells you the history about astronauts and space explorations. More

I love the idea of having a place like this, although it would be nice if it were updated to fit the world's re-kindled interest in space exploration. More

We finally decided to visit the Hong Kong Space Museum since we had missed the museum during our previous visits into the city. The price is not high (10 HKD per adult), but unfortunately the museum was a big disappointment for us all. Basically the museum has three sections (space travel, space and science itself and shows). We visited the... More

As with the rest of the reviews I found the HK Space Museum well out of date. Some informative information in there but it's not great. More

Exhibits seem about 20-30 years old. Time for an update. Many are broken. More

It's not very sophisticated. Lots of cheap stuff posing as "exhibits". For example, cheap plastic models of space capsules under glass, etc.. Lots of broken exhibits as well. I've been there three times and the Space Shuttle exhibit - where kids get to sit in the pilot seat, etc.. - has never been operational. Not worth the price of admission... More
