Lonely Planet review for Hong Kong Space Museum & Theatre

Just east of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, this golf-ball-shaped building consists of the Hall of Space Science, the Hall of Astronomy and the large Space Theatre, one of the largest planetariums in the world. Exhibits include a lump of moon rock, rocket-ship models and NASA’s 1962 Mercury space capsule. Lasting about 40 minutes, they are mostly in Cantonese, but translations by headphones are available. The first show is at 1.30pm weekdays (12.20pm on Saturday and at 11.10am on Sunday) and the last at 8.30pm; children under three are not allowed entry. Advance bookings can be made by phone up to an hour before show time.

    Disappointing and sparsely populated.

    angriest does not recommend this,

    I went into the Hong Kong space museum with high expectations, and left extremely disappointing. The exhibits are mostly quite old and out of date, several key attractions - such as the Mercury capsule - didn't seem to be anywhere to be found, and there didn't seem to be any staff around to ask for help. Save your money and check out the vastly superior Hong Kong Science Museum on the other side of Tsim Cha Tsui.
