Location & Transportation

Xiamen Science & Technology Museum sits in the heart of Xiamen’s cultural hub, nestled within the Xiamen Arts and Culture Center at 95 Tiyu Road, Siming District. It’s super easy to reach—just hop on buses 24 or 101, or ride the metro to Zheliang Station (Exit 1). If you’re coming from the airport, a 20-minute taxi ride gets you there. Bonus: it’s right next to the stunning coastal Bike Ribbon, so you can combine tech fun with ocean views!

Human-Made Wonders & Interactive Fun

This isn’t your average museum. At Xiamen Science & Technology Museum, 5 massive halls buzz with 400+ hands-on exhibits. Start in the Hall of Harmony, where you’ll walk through a giant, glowing human body model—perfect for kids to learn about digestion (and adults to cringe at the life-sized “poop” display!).

The Exploration Hall is pure magic. Slide down a mirror maze that’ll make you laugh until you’re lost, zap your hair in the electric cage (don’t worry, it’s safe!), and step into a “time tunnel” where stars swirl around you. Over in the Creation Hall, robots steal the show: they dance, draw portraits, and even challenge you to a game of chess. Don’t miss the shadow theater—it’s like watching Harry Potter’s patronus come to life!

Futuristic Thrills & Ocean Adventures

For something really wild, dive into the “Intelligent Mech” zone—a 1,000㎡ sci-fi playground. Here, floating robot jellyfish pulsate with light, mechanical dogs do backflips, and wings made of metal flap like birds. It’s like stepping into a movie.

The Ocean Hall mixes nature with tech. Kids love the VR submarine ride (think swimming with sharks!) and AR surfing simulator. Even grown-ups geek out over the interactive tide pool, where you can “control” waves with your hands.

Movies That Make You Move

The museum’s 3 theaters are a blast. The 4D Flyover Cinema drops you into aerial adventures (think flying over mountains!), while the 720Rider spins you in a domed room with storms, space, or dinosaurs. The Dream Theater blends live-action actors with digital backdrops—one minute you’re in ancient Egypt, the next you’re battling aliens.

Kid-Friendly Extras

The Children’s Gallery on the second floor is pure chaos—in the best way. Watch balls defy gravity in the “Rainstorm” exhibit, race down a slide that dumps you into a sea of colorful balls, and meet the “talkative” robot that cracks jokes in Mandarin. Parents tip: Bring socks! Some floors require clean feet.

Xiamen Science & Technology Museum isn’t just a stop—it’s an adventure. Whether you’re a kid who loves robots or a grown-up who secretly wants to play with lasers, this place turns science into a day of “wow.” Come ready to touch, twist, and maybe even dance with a robot. Trust me, you’ll leave with a sore smile!
