Henan Science and Technology Museum
河南省科技馆（新馆）
A large science museum on the lakeside of Zhengdong New District, shaped like a bird with its wings spread. It has plenty of interactive exhibits and is a popular destination for families.
The new Henan Science and Technology Museum is located around Xianghu Lake in Zhengdong New District. It opened in 2023 and is one of the leading provincial science museums in China. It has themed halls on the universe, life, digital technology, transportation, aviation and aerospace, as well as a children's science playground and an IMAX-style giant-screen cinema. Most exhibits are hands-on interactive installations. The permanent exhibition halls are free but require a real-name reservation in advance, while special-effects cinema shows are charged separately. It is closed on Mondays. The museum is large, so allow half a day. Holidays draw big crowds, so arrive early.
