Travel Tips

1) Pets, dangerous items, and liquids are strictly prohibited inside. 2) Bags larger than 30 cm must be stored before entry; lockers are at the first-floor ticket hall and the basement entrance—keep valuables with you. 3) One ticket per person; tickets are collected on exit, so keep yours safe and show it when leaving. The ticket covers all permanent exhibits except three interactive ones (Extreme Driving, Dancing with the Wind, and the Auto Production Line), which require separate on-site purchase.
