My vote: Rename Shenzhen Science Museum to 'Shenzhen's Epic Light Show & Display Tech Center'.

When you have to use your phone to look up information even while you're at a science museum, it means the museum has a lot of room for improvement.

I'm an adult, and I tried the exoskeleton. It felt pretty cool.
-
Right, that's why I said it's decent if you can actually get to the interactive exhibits.
-
Went yesterday. Overall, the experience was pretty good after walking through it.
-
Excuse me, about how long does it take to see everything?
-
Probably 50% of the exhibits were broken, and we didn't get to try any of the ones that required reservations.
-
It's only been open for a short while, right? And 50% is already broken?
-
Excuse me, where should I set the GPS for parking?
-
I parked in P3 that day.

I went today and feel exactly the same as the original poster. It looks high-tech, but there are very few things kids can actually get involved with – mostly just basic switches and buttons. Other science museums in Shenzhen do a much better job of letting kids have hands-on experiences and see scientific phenomena unfold. That's the true meaning of 'edutainment'!

I went during the beta testing. It really lacks displays on basic physics. It's mostly high-tech stuff, and to understand most of it, you'd probably need to be a science university student. Younger kids definitely need their parents to explain things. I hope the museum can provide guides or explainers.

Totally agree! That's the honest truth.
