Good to know

Do I need to buy tickets or register online before visiting?
No. No pre-registration or ticket purchases are required. You can simply walk in and enjoy the exhibits.

Are the exhibits in English?
Yes, absolutely. All interactive elements, display boards, instructions, and video subtitles throughout the gallery are fully bilingual in both English and Chinese.
Can we bring our stroller inside?
Yes, the facilities are designed with wide pathways, ramp access, and multiple lifts, making it very easy to navigate with a baby stroller.
