Hong Kong Aviation Discovery Centre

Hong Kong Aviation Discovery Centre, Aviation amusement park at Hong Kong International Airport, China.

The Hong Kong Aviation Discovery Centre is an amusement attraction at the international airport where visitors learn about aircraft and air travel through interactive experiences. The venue includes simulator rides and exhibits that show how planes work and how airport operations function.

The centre opened on 1 June 2007 on the 6th floor of SkyPlaza in Terminal 2, the first multimedia aviation centre inside an airport terminal. It closed on 31 January 2012 for renovation and reopened, then shut permanently in October 2019 because Terminal 2 was rebuilt and airport access was restricted. Its displays covered civil aviation, Kai Tak Airport and the new airport.

The centre's name appears in English and Chinese on the entrance sign, with "Aviation Discovery Centre" in blue and "航空探知館" in purple. Inside, the "Iron Bird Collection" displayed 13 large aircraft models from different eras, and touch screens gave their technical data. A 220° wide-angle screen in the Airport Motion Journey area showed footage of Kai Tak and Chek Lap Kok operations.

The centre closed in October 2019 for the reconstruction of Terminal 2, so it cannot be visited now. When it operated, it occupied the 6th floor of Sky Plaza in Terminal 2, and a lift connected it to the SkyDeck on the roof of the adjacent Airport Administration Building. Entry to the exhibition was free; the SkyDeck and the simulator were paid.

A notable feature is that visitors can use professional flight simulators that replicate takeoffs and landings at different airports around the world. These simulators give ordinary guests a realistic flying experience without leaving the airport.
