The realm of time and space may remain an object of mystery and fascination for years to come. However, one of the best ways to explore these wonders without entering into outer space may be the Hong Kong Space Museum!
This interactive exhibition hall provides all those who enter with the opportunity to develop an almost hands-on experience with the wonders of the cosmos. The stunning exhibits found in the Cosmic Hall and the Space Exploration Hall build up the two main halls in the establishment and covers up to 1600 square metres.
While you can find some 100 exhibits spread between the halls on a typical day, visitors can take their time to learn about the wonders of new space technology and astronomy with the litter help of the beautiful layout of the environmental arrangements as well as the stunning use of lighting.
Additionally, suppose you are looking to dive further into the wonders of the universe. In that case, the Universal Exhibition Hall will gladly introduce you to the art of exploring the universe as we understand it. Luckily for travellers, there are many Hong Kong hotel deals. If you stay somewhere like the Park Hotel Hong Kong, you will be on a quick six-minute journey from the Space Museum!
This part of the journey into the wonders of the universe, made possible by the Astronomical Carnival, is another effort that is made possible by the Hong Kong Space Museum. With the introduction of its state-of-the-art astrological projection system, you can now enjoy the four-season starry sky found in the Ho Hau Temple.
What is more, this experience is entirely free, so you and all your friends and family can come along to immerse yourself in this brilliant and mind-expanding experience.
When it comes to experiences that should not be missed, that Lunar Observation Happy Hour certainly ranks at the top end of any enthusiast of the cosmos.
This specific event lets visitors take advantage of an advanced telescope that will provide an unhindered view of the surface of the moon. What makes this really special is the guided tour that the Hong Kong Space Museum instructors will take you on that showcase all the highlights of this celestial body.
This special event that takes place between 3 PM and 5 PM every Sunday is the best opportunity for you, your family, and your kids to enjoy a few uninterrupted hours of movies that revolve around astronomy.
For example, the 'Moon Miracle' is a crowd favourite. It discusses the phenomena that are the Blood Moon, Super Moon and the Total Moon Eclipse.
If you are travelling, particularly with family, this tour should not be missed. Providing you with outdoor activities that encompass visits through the space workshops in the museum, telescope observatory, and astronomical park, there is something for everyone.
The only thing to keep in mind that the weather may impact your day, so be sure to keep an eye out or call ahead!
