Where you'll be
From Passprt Community
- Some visitors said many interactive exhibits are broken, so you may skip a few galleries but still have fun in working sections.
- Peak hours mean crowds and slower exhibit interaction so go mid‑morning on weekdays for a smoother pace.
- The laser maze and G‑force ride cost extra so budget wisely if time and money are tight.
- The small climbing wall and motion‑capture skeleton were a surprise favourite for kids and teens so don’t miss those.
- Space observatory is nice, but if queues are long and weather unclear maybe skip for other exhibits.
- Staff at some stations were friendly and helpful especially around robotics and astronaut suit areas, so ask them for tips.
- Expect a compact museum so plan about two to three hours for a relaxed visit without rush.
- A few reviewers found the entry price steep for the condition of some exhibits, so balance your expectations accordingly.
