Guangdong Science Center

This guide to the Guangdong Science Center in Guangzhou opens with a Guinness World Records adjudicator confirming, on November 7, 2018, that this sprawling campus is the largest science museum on the planet. It follows what fills that record-setting roof: flight simulators packed with adults and toddlers alike, hybrid bikes that light up as you pedal, and the ninety-nine hands-on setups inside the Children's Wonderland. The museum opened in 2008 at a cost of nearly two billion yuan, and the play spills outside into an eighty-thousand-square-meter lake and Exploration Park lined with Lingnan plants. Save time to wander the lakeside paths before heading for the IMAX dome.
