We went to the Macau Science Centre at 4pm thinking that we would not have enough time to explore the whole centre. We were wrong! Pros:- 1. Toilets are super clean 2. Location is near town centre so a cab is not too expensive to take 3. There is a McDonald's restaurant there. Cons:- 1. A lot of things there... More

The exhibition itself was great with a lot of interactive pieces. There's a few that's under repair though, but there's so many you can live without them. We caught the 3d show "Wild Weather of the Solar System". It's not that great, and I assume the shows are of similar quality. You can skip it, not worth the MOP 30... More

We took a day trip from Hong Kong via the Cotai Turbojet ferry which was smooth sailing. It took about an hour. We then walked from the ferry terminal past fishermans wharf (deserted) ans sands cotai casino to the scence centre. It took about 30 mins. My kids aged 6 & 10 could have spent the entire day at the... More

We stopped by at the Macao Science Center on our last day while trying to kill time for our late flight back home. I would definitely recommend this especially for children. It has 14 sections of highly interactive displays. You should allot at least 2 hours to be able to explore the entire museum (more if you want to experience... More

This "Dalek" of a building guarding the entrance to the harbour is unmissable from the outside. Inside there are many different sections from food science, sports science, robots, weather and space exploration. Had a lot of fun pottering around each and participating in the exhibits that did not require staff...such as acting as a weatherman...but it was very disappointing that... More

We had not expected much of it in a city famous for its casinos before going but we were surprised to find it a rather neatly built attraction commanding an incredible view in a waterfront location. The scientific displays are not something amazing per se but they are interesting and interactive enough for my two young kids to enjoy for... More

I love the building and there are many interactive displays. But seems the target audience are only for kids, i expect more displays and exhibitions for teenagers and adults. 2D and 3D films are expensive compared to hk space museum

The science centre gives extensive knowledge of the scientific reach and inventions. One can adjust oneself with the advancing times and side by side can come to know the reach science has made towards advancement.
