Planning your visit
The Sichuan Science and Technology Museum sits on Tianfu Square in central Chengdu, directly behind the Mao statue, and covers science across several floors of interactive exhibits.
The aerospace section is the strongest and reflects real regional industry — Sichuan holds significant aerospace and defence manufacturing, and the Xichang satellite launch centre is in the province. Rocket models, satellite technology and space exploration content fill it.
Other floors cover robotics, transport, energy, mathematics and the natural sciences, with a children's area.
The building's position on Tianfu Square puts it at the symbolic centre of Chengdu, alongside the provincial museum and the metro interchange.
English signage is limited. Admission is generally free with reservation.
Allow two hours. Bookable options include tickets covering the aerospace sections. Current availability is listed below.
