This informative, interactive museum offers a broad range of exhibits that are certain to grab your attention. Four floors with hundreds of exhibits explore topics such as geography, robotics, transportation, magnetism, and quantum physics. Everyone can get involved by walking through a rotating room, speaking into a parabolic disk to your friend across the room, or testing your lung capacity. Everything is "hands-on," and there are special sections designed for younger children (who can be very noisy). Even if science is not your thing, you'll find something to interest you here, even if it's simply watching the Energy Machine sculpture in action.

Hong Kong Local Expert
- Museums: "The Life Sciences hall is closed until January 2015, but this is only a very small part of an engrossing museum."
- Attractions near Cruise Port: "Aviation fans can look out for Hong Kong's first aircraft, the DC-3 from Cathay Pacific."
- Best for Museums Because: It's worth coming here just to see the four-story high Energy Machine living sculpture.
- Best for Attractions near Cruise Port Because: This highly hands-on museum displays more than 300 interactive exhibits with bilingual signage.
