Wuhan Family Trip: Science Museum and Ocean Park

The Science and Technology Museum, Polarland Ocean Park, the provincial museum with East Lake and Yellow Crane Tower, combining indoor and outdoor activities for families.

The pace is relaxed, with one main activity each day: interactive exhibits at the Science and Technology Museum, performances at Polarland Ocean Park, bell chimes at the provincial museum followed by biking on East Lake, and a climb up Yellow Crane Tower. Indoor activities fill the mornings and outdoor ones the afternoons, and you can return to your hotel for a midday rest. Staying around the Hankou Riverfront lets you play by the water's edge in the evening. In summer, prioritize indoor venues.

Summer crowds are heavy, so book the Science and Technology Museum and the provincial museum in advance.
