Hong Kong Museums

Hong Kong has several museums, mostly on the Kowloon peninsula. They are free on Wednesdays.


The Space Museum is the golfball building on the waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui. Admission is HK$10. In my opinion, it's not worth admission unless it's raining and you need something to do. The museum has 2 exhibition halls and a planetarium. One exhibit is devoted to the cosmos and the other is devoted to space exploration. There are many hands-on and interactive exhibits so kids may find them interesting. The planetarium is not part of free Wednesday. The museum is closed on Tuesdays.


The Hong Kong Museum of History is free everyday. This is worthwhile if you are spending more than 2 days in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Story exhibit takes you from pre-historic times to 1997 when Hong Kong was returned to China. There are also exhibits on life and culture through the ages. Inside, the air conditioning is run at full blast so bring a sweater.
