Very good
5 ReviewsVisitors consistently praise the museum for its diverse and interactive exhibits, highlighting the moon gravity and zero-gravity jump simulations. Many appreciate the reasonable admission fees and the helpful, friendly staff. While the museum itself is highly recommended for all ages, the planetarium shows receive mixed reviews, particularly due to the lack of English commentary.
