The Hong Kong Science Museum aims to provide an enjoyable learning experience for people of all ages and walks of life. We inspire visitors with engaging interactive exhibits which allows them to explore the fun of science. Our galleries cover diverse areas of science: an electrifying Electricity and Magnetism Gallery, a ground-shaking Earth Science Gallery, a life-unearthing Palaeontology Gallery, a lively Biodiversity Gallery, an inspiring Jockey Club Environmental Conservation Gallery and a joyful Children's Gallery, to name a few.
This 22-metre-high Energy Machine is the Science Museum's tallest and biggest exhibit. It is also the largest machine of its kind in the world. Occupying four-storeys of space, it stands prominently in the centre of various exhibition halls. This exhibit demonstrates energy conversion through the movement of balls down the towers. When set in motion, a continuous stream of balls will roll along tracks within and between the two towers like a roller coaster, producing dramatic sounds and visual effects.
Operation Time: 11:00 am, 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm
