The activity page confirms the flameworking course content, the 30-minute hands-on session plus about 90 minutes of annealing, a 12+ age guide in one listing and 5+ in another, and booking through the museum's official WeChat account with limited seats. The upper price bound adds the 58-88 entry ticket to the 188 session; the museum's own site is HTTP only and was not used as a source. English instruction is not confirmed.
