Shenzhen's New Science Museum: My Roast (You've Been Warned!)
-
I think there aren't enough of those game-like contraptions meant to engage kids. From what I've seen, 80% of the children treat it like a playground; very few are there to actually learn. Parents bringing a bunch of kids, especially little ones they still have to carry, won't see their children learn much—they're mostly just yanking on levers and causing damage. However, I feel the exhibits upstairs are higher quality than downstairs and haven't been damaged as much. The sections on space, the brain, and quantum mechanics are pretty good.
-
To put it bluntly, if they just set up a free ball pit and an inflatable castle, they could probably save half their maintenance budget. It would draw in all the kids who aren't there to learn anyway.
-
There will always be a bunch of inexplicable people who will come out to aggressively defend it, refusing to acknowledge or accept any criticism about this science museum. Is it that they just can't stand to hear anything negative said about it?

It just opened, so give it some time. You can't expect a newborn baby to start talking right away, can you?

Just here to take photos.

I think the experience is quite good; it feels very high-tech and there are many interactive exhibits. Of course, a new museum will always have areas that aren't perfect, but I'm sure it will continue to be optimized and improved over time.

The interactive experience at the Shenzhen Science Museum is fantastic! Kids can get hands-on with various experiments and activities, which is so much more effective than just being lectured at. For example, in the physics section, children directly experience the principles of mechanics by operating levers, pulleys, and other devices themselves. In the robot interaction zone, kids even played fun games with robots, their eyes filled with curiosity and fascination for technology. The exhibits here are cleverly designed to spark children's desire to explore and their creativity, helping them fall in love with science through play.

When I visited right after it opened, I thought the experience at the science museum was quite good, especially those cutting-edge 'black tech' interactive exhibits—they were really mind-expanding!

I just took my kid there last week. There's a lot of content, so you can't really see everything in just one visit. My child had a great time. A new museum definitely needs time to be polished and refined, and I hope they'll offer evening hours in the future.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; if you don't like it, don't just bash it. Opinions should be based on facts—that's the scientific spirit. Anyway, I think it's pretty good. Each exhibition area has its unique theme and displays, covering everything from basic scientific principles to cutting-edge technological applications.

Everything starts out imperfect and gets better. Give it some time, watch it gradually develop, and you'll likely feel differently about it as it grows.
