If you can, grab a student discount ticket, it's a smart way to save some cash... Just remember to bring your ID, they did check mine!

I recommend checking out the little café inside for a quick break. The coffee was surprisingly good, and it's nice to recharge before going back to exploring!

Be prepared for some sections to be crowded, especially the main exhibits. I'd say go in the afternoon, around 3 PM, when it seemed less busy.

I suggest downloading a map of the museum beforehand. It helped me a lot since the layout can be a bit confusing. Don’t waste time wandering aimlessly!

I suggest wearing comfortable shoes! You’ll be doing a lot of walking, and the place is bigger than it looks from the outside.

I found the signs a bit confusing, so I recommend downloading their app before your visit. It helped me navigate and learn more about the exhibits.

i recommend checking out the museum's free entrance days, which can save you a few bucks. i went on a sunday and it was packed but worth it.

My advice is to keep an eye out for the rotating exhibitions. When I visited, there was a fascinating showcase that you wouldn't want to miss!

After your visit, grab a bite at nearby cafes. Some of them offer discounts to museum visitors, and it's a nice way to relax and discuss the art!

You can save on admission fees because the museum is free! Just double-check the days it might be closed or have special events

If you're into photography, take time to explore the outside of the museum too. The architecture is just as unique as the art inside!

Bring a good pair of headphones if you're planning to use the audio guides. I found their quality a bit lacking, but having my own made it much more enjoyable and also saved me some time waiting for one.

If you're on a budget, eat before you go. The cafe inside the museum is nice, but the prices are higher than average, and you can find tasty food nearby for much less.

I recommend getting there right when the museum opens at 10 AM. It gets crowded later, and you can enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, you'll have a better chance to interact with the staff who are super helpful.

Check out the space exhibits. They're super cool! I was really impressed, but I wish I had spent more time there instead of rushing through. Take it slow!

My advice is to bring some snacks. There’s a cafe, but I found it a bit pricey for what you get. Just a little something can make a big difference when you’re on the go!

If you can, arrive around 10am. The crowds start to build up by noon, and you can enjoy the interactive exhibits with fewer people around. Trust me, it's way more fun!

Make sure to check the schedule for the planetarium shows ahead of time. I missed the one I wanted to see because I didn’t plan. It was a bummer, so don’t do like I did!

Take your time to explore the little exhibition corners they have. I missed some cool artifacts because I rushed through to catch the main highlights.

Don't skip the gift shop on your way out. I found some unique souvenirs there that aren't available anywhere else in the city.

If you're short on cash, check if they have any discount days; I snagged a half-price ticket just by timing my visit right!

If you're planning to spend a few hours there, grab a snack at the nearby local cafes first. The museum doesn’t have a cafe, and I found it tough to find food nearby when I got hungry.

My advice is to check out the outdoor exhibits first. They’re pretty cool and can get you in the mood for the indoor stuff. I missed them at first because I went straight inside!

I suggest visiting on a Wednesday or Thursday. It’s less crowded, and you can really take your time exploring the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, the museum is free on Sundays, but it can get super packed!
