Lonely Planet review for Science & Technology Museum
Some exhibits at this museum are showing their age, but kids can run riot among the main hall's three floors of hands-on displays. Watch industrial robots perform a flawless Taichi sword routine, try chatting with the speech robot who only seems able to say '对不起,我没有听懂你的话' ('Sorry, I didn't catch you'), follow a maglev train gliding along a stretch of track or test out a bullet-proof vest with a sharp pointy thing.
You could spend half the day working through the imaginative and educational displays in the main hall (Hall A), but if you want to make a real go of it, Hall B (astrovision theatre) and Hall C (Children's Scientific Entertainment Hall) offer extra diversions for boffins, young and old. English captions throughout.
