Play Garden at Tsuen Wan Plaza

Tsuen Wan Plaza Shopping Centre underwent a huge renovation, upgrading its rooftop playground with a range of new equipment with colourful rainbow theme. Colourful rubber granules flooring are used to create a soft surface providing protection against accidents. The playground is separated into different sections: 1️⃣ Rainbow Sky Tower - The tower is 8 metre height with 3 slides in different directions, 2 of them at 4.8 metres and 3.3 metres above ground. Kids who enjoyed the excitement and not afraid of heights definitely spend more time here. 2️⃣ Climbing Castle - For climbers like my kids, they’ll enjoying finding ways to climb from one to another end of the castle. 3️⃣ Twirling Rope - Climbing on a spinning rope ain’t easy, it takes up some balancing and working on gross motor skills. 4️⃣ Mini Hills - There are few mini hills equipped with stairs, ropes, tubes, slides.. perfect place to play tag if you ask me. Of course, there are areas for younger kids with simpler equipment like the bouncy cloud, musical tubes, baby swings and slides. To avoid crowds, we were there from 1-2:30pm on weekdays. Refreshment: Mc Donald’s right next to it Toilet: There are one with water refill dispenser next to it in between the playground, or simply walk inside to the use the mall toilets Shaded: Not really. Some areas at the benches are covered but not the play area Enclosed: Yes Kids think: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Mom thinks: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Opening hours: 10:30am to 10pm Cleaning: 2:30-3pm X #hongkongkids #hongkongplayground #hongkongmom #hongkongparents #hongkongactivities #playground #childrenplayground #shoppingmall #shoppingmallplayground #tsuenwan #tsuenwanplaza #rooftopplayground #mykids馬來港孩 #hkblogger #afterschool #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #商場遊樂場 #香港遊樂場 #兒童遊樂場 #親子活動 #親子好去處 #香港兒童 #荃灣廣場

Museum of Climate Change (MoCC)

Located on the Chinese University Campus, the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change is sure to be one of our surprisingly good and worthwhile places to be. Established to raise public awareness of the impact of global warming, hence climate changes. It is divided into four sections: Polar Gallery, Remote Sensing and Environmental monitoring, research and innovation, green gallery. I couldn’t decide which section are kids favourite because they spent equally long at each. The collections at Polar Gallery shows the effects of global warming and climate change resulting ice melting at the poles, where life of polar bears are on the line. The remote sensing and environment monitoring definitely further explain and strengthen the ideas through videos and photos, along with some interactive multimedia presentations of different environmental and climate information. Kids were impressed with the application of geographic information in how the Earth is changing over years. Research and innovation section probably the least attractive one for my kids. And I don’t blame them because it’s sure not something their age ( a 5.5yo and 7yo) would understand. I tried explaining but there’s just too specific and too much for kids to understand the research developments and technology advances in these field. The last section, which is the green gallery, push hard on the idea “environmental efforts require community’s support”. With multimedia interactive exhibits and games, it promotes and aims to have the community get involved in waste reduction, sustainable and live a greener lifestyle.

Peppa Pig’s Happy Day Interactive Play

If you have kids around you, you would’ve heard of Peppa Pig. It’s widespread among parents and children. It’s episodes of story of Peppa, who lives on a hill with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and little brother George. Although it’s a very famous cartoon, my kids knew them, we watched a couple of episodes but I decided to stop for a couple of reason. Honestly, I didn’t think kids should watch too much of Peppa Pig or Cocomelon 🫣 Anyway, there’s a Peppa Pig event at Kowloon Bay, it’s called the Happy Day Interactive Play! You must’ve seen blogger/ influencer posting about it. So, here’s the thing, I don’t just sweeten the package; readers know I give honest opinion. And this event, is definitely no go for kids 6 and above. There are different sections; vr interactive running, matching game on screen, slide with a sleight, vr jump into puddles and farm activities, train tracks, trampolines and more. BUT they are designed for toddlers, meaning kids age 1.5 to 5. So, if you’re a Peppa Pig fans, or you have kids 1.5 to 5, your kids might enjoyed this event a lot more than my kids 🫣 Event date: 2022/06/25 – 2022/09/12 Different sessions from 10:30-19:00 Address: FT life tower, Kowloon Bay Book your session with discount via Trip.com https://hk.trip.com/things-to-do/detail/39958256/?language=HK&locale=zh_hk Peppa Pig 玩樂日互動特展 - 香港站 X #peppapig #happydayinteractiveplay #hkevent #hkblogger #hkkids #hkmoms #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #indooractivity #weekendactivity #toddlersactivity #familyfriendly #peppapig玩樂日互動特展 #佩佩豬 #九龍灣 #mykids馬來港孩 #兒童適宜 #室內活動 #親子活動 #兒童遊戲空間 #香港兒童 #本地遊

The Pokfulam Farm (薄鳧林牧場)

Formerly the Old Daielry Farm （牛奶公司） staff quarters constructed in 1887 was restored to its historical appearance, displaying artefacts, history records to facilitates the operations and knowledge of Old Dairy Farm to the public. It’s a cosy place. Clean and comfortable. Great for photo-shooting with the buildings and environment. The senior staff quarters (the blue window frame with white walls) was build in 1887 and listed as Grade 1 historical building in Hong Kong. There are several displays at the main building, exhibiting the artefacts of Old Diary Farm. Kids were curious of the stove wall, written notes being kept in the baizi cabinet (well known for Chinese medicine) and love playing with the old rotary telephone. Then, across the building are another exhibition of the community. We got busy playing and explaining the bamboo or canework toys. Kids think: ⭐️ Mom think: ❤️ We do appreciate the revitalise of historical buildings with information, the environment is definitely nice for photo. We definitely learn a thing or two. However, it’s probably not worth to go all the way just for that. 薄鳧林牧場｜The Pokfulam Farm Operating hours: Weekdays 11-1pm, 3-6pm Weekends & PH 10-12nn, 2-5pm Available activities: 1. Free visit 2.

Po Kwu Wan 曝罟灣 Adventure

It’s a hidden bay of Sai Kung, next to Sheung Yiu Trail and close to high island reservoir. It’s special with its half moon shape concrete embankment. Starting point located in Sai Kung Country Park, follow the signs to Pak Tam Chung Nature Trail（北潭涌自然教育徑）/ Sheung Yiu Family Walk （上窯家樂徑）, passing a beautiful lake-like creeks heading to Sheung Yiu Folk Museum and the swamp with mangroves. First stop would be Hei Tsz Wan （起子灣）pier. From there, we spontaneously took an adventure trip, coasteering to the direction of Po Kwu Wan. It’s actually pretty straightforward, just walk along the coastline. We started early on Sunday morning, bump into a handful of people at Po Kwu Wan and few groups at Yuen Ng Fan view point, only a couple of fishermen while coasteering and non when hiking out to Man Yee Road. Distance: approx 6km Difficulty: Easy Intermediate Duration: approx 3.5 hours How to get there: - Take bus 94 heading to Wong Shek Pier from Sai Kung; Get off at Sheung Yiu Bus Stop - If you’re driving and want to be as close to the starting point as possible, go early and you may find a spot at Sai Kung Country Park Visitor Centre - Or you could park at the metres car parks along Tai Mong Zai Road and hop on to taxi or bus 94 X #hikingtrail #hikingwithkids #familyactivities #familyday #familyhike #hkhiking #hkblogger #hkkids #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #saikung #pokwuwan #coasteering #outdoor #outdooractivities #nature #mykids馬來港孩 #親子好去處 #親子活動 #行山路線推介 #親子行山路線 #西貢 #曝罟灣 #戶外活動 #家庭活動 #行山 #香港行山 #綑邊行 #兒童適宜 #本地遊

Yim Tin Tsai 鹽田梓

It’s a small offshore island under Sai Kung District. The only salt pans in Hong Kong, and an island filled with swampy mangroves and Hakka cultural. Former villagers returned to the island to preserves their traditional way of life and way of making salt. We took a trip to Yim Tin Tsai before the “5th wave”. It’s a 15 minutes boat ride from Sai Kung Pier to Yim Tin Tsai. Arriving at 9:30 in the morning, we have plenty of time to explore the island. Hence, decided to take a hike around the island, passing St Joseph Cathedral where the museum dedicated to Hakka life is right next to it, heading uphill to the Twin Pavilion, downhill to a T junction, we stop by Jade-Girdle Bridge that’ connects Yim Tin Tsai island to The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course before returning to the junction and heading back to the pier. Our tickets includes the entrance to cultural museum and salt pans. It’s easy to understand, my k2 boy and p1 girl definitely learn something out of it, and got to see the tools used in old days for real. We traveled with 好姐 at the pier, her booth is close to the restaurant. Charging $70 per adult, $50 for kids age 4-12 and senior age 65 above. There are restaurant and public toilets at the pier. For those who’s interested to visit the Salt & Light Preservation Centre (鹽光保育中心）, take note that they closed on Monday.

Brick Hill

When kids have too much screen time (few hours of zoom classes), sports centres & indoors activities closed, and there’s no playground for them to waste some energy… they became emotionally unstable, unable to focus and basically showing impact on their mental health and overall well-being. Please, I’m not interested in adding on screen time, so don’t recommend the online exercise or switch’s just dance/ sport related game. I still prefer outdoor activities with kids. We normally do it early to avoid the crowd. Trust me, 80-90% of the people prefer sleep in and starting their day after brunch. Hence, when we took a hike to Brick Hill, it’s pretty much just us and a handful of other hikers. Speaking of Brick Hill or better known as Nam Long Shan is a hill near Wong Chuk Hang, overlooking Ocean Park, deep water bay and sham wan. Difficulties : 2 out of 10 Scenic : 6 out of 10 ( we went on a gloomy day ) Duration ⏱ : approx 1.5 hours (round trip) Distance: approx 5km How to get there: - MTR wong chuk hang station and walk uphill to Canadian International School ( you’ll pass by Singapore International School) and the entrance is nearby - Bus 48, 72A, 75 and 107 that stops at Wong Chuk Hang terminal - Parking at One South Island or any metered parking around Wong Chuk Hang station X #hikingwithkids #hikingtrail #hkhiking #hkkids #hkblogger #familyactivities #familyhike #familyfriendly #outdooractivities #kidsactivities #hongkongmom #hongkongkids #brickhill #namlongshan #hongkongisland #mykids馬來港孩 #親子好去處#親子活動#親子行山路線 #戶外活動 #週末好去處 #行山路線推介 #港島 #南朗山 #登山 #本地遊

Luk Keng to Kuk Po

Found another family friendly hiking trail ! It’s a round trip, easy route with tasty snacks and food in between. It’s Sunday, to avoid crowd, we arrived at 9.30am, parked our car at Fanling then hail a taxi to Luk Keng. The hiking trail is pretty straight forward. Got off at Luk Keng’s BB happy store, walk along Bride’s Pool Road, then take the left road towards Fat Kee Store. The starling inlet/ mangrove swamps are on your left at all time while walking on Tiu-Tang-Long Path. Half way through, there are stairs headed towards the other side of the mountain, once over you’ll reach Fung Hang in no time. There’s a public toilet at the entrance of the village next to a cafe. The stalls along Fung Hang Pier selling local made snacks such as 茶粿 (cha gwo) which is stuffed tea cake made with sticky rice flour, 砵仔糕 (put chai go) which is red bean pudding, pumpkin cake etc. Do give it a try ! I regretted not buying more as we have lunch plans at Kuk Po. Let’s talk about this restaurant at Kuk Po. It operates on weekends only. Booking and pre-order are highly recommended. It’s Hakka cuisine. We ordered ❤️墨魚片 Squids 豉油王吊筒 Cuttlefish in soy sauce 走地雞 Steam Chicken ❤️豬肉砵 Pork Belly Pot ❤️客家醋鴨 Roast Duck in Hakka Style ❤️黑腳𩶘 Blackhead Seabrem 芥蘭 Kai Lan Veg 揚州炒飯 Fried Rice 魚肚湯 Fish Broth ❤️肉絲炒麵 Fried Noodles with shredded pork After lunch, just take the same route back to where it begins.

Aberdeen Reservoir

School, playgrounds and many places ordered to be closed, again. Besides the daily zoom classes, we are looking forward for outdoor activities for the benefits of kids. Hence, we went Aberdeen for a short walk again, a morning workout. It’s about 3km and took approx 2 hours (including picnic time). To avoid crowd, we arrived and begin walking since 10am on a Sunday morning. Difficulties : ⭐️ (hardest be the only slopes going up to the entrance of Aberdeen Country Park) Scenic : ❤️❤️ (the dam with koi fishes and the view are quite nice) Carpark : Metered carpark along Yue Kwong Road or the plaza’s Toilet : Not long after the Aberdeen Kids Walk, which is right next to the entrance, the only public toilets at Park Visitor Centre Refreshment: None X #hongkongkids #hkblogger #hongkongmom #outdooractivities #hikinghk #hikingwithchildren #familyhike #familyactivities #weekend #mykids馬來港孩 #親子活動 #親子行山路線 #香港仔 #戶外活動 #兒童適宜 #家庭活動 #親子好去處 #行山路線推介

Parent-Child Dragon Boat

Over 2021’s Christmas, I was introduced to Hywind 海泓 who offered dragon boat trainings not only for adults; they’d held holiday half day camp for people like us to experience it with our children. And if children age 10 and above are interested, I know they’re planning for juvenile training. We were gathered at 沙田體育會水上活動中心 located right next to the HKCDBA Training Centre at On King Street. Put on life jackets and got our paddles. Trainer led everyone to warm ups and stretching before arranging positions in boat. Kids sat in front of their parents. Dragon boat rowing is different compared to kayaking. It’s single paddle, each responsible a side. Different posture and use of muscle strength in rowing. Trainers are clear with instruction and taught each and every one of us, including kids. My kids enjoyed rowing, and doing it the right way because they’re well taught. It’s a memorable experience for us. I was worried it’ll be too tired for kids, as us parents are first timer too, but we’re all good, having fun and pumped up after the little competition between boats. I didn’t think it’s such an enthusiastic activity, it’s full of adrenaline and team spirits especially when you know you’re almost ahead. It definitely requires tons of effort in working together, seems to be one of the most pumped up activity I’ve ever done.

“Jurassic x The Dinosaur Park” Exhibition

It’s no secret that dinosaur is loved by both genders, it’s something boys and girls could be fascinated by. So, kids are pretty excited about the trip. There’re different areas, such as; tug of war with kentrosaurus; be an archaeologist and dig some bones; the 2 driving around in Jurassic Park areas, where kids got to drive themselves or controlled by an adult with remote; be a mama dino and give the baby some water; wear a robe and be dino caretaker; run faster than a t-Rex etc. Most of them are interactive, which I guess it’s the reason kids find it interesting. So, there’s a few things you should know before deciding… 1️⃣Mom thinks : ⭐️ for the efforts but personally think it’s overpriced 2️⃣Kids thinks : ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ and they are telling me there’s so much fun 🤨 their favourite are driving, the tug of war with dino and the interactive screen games 😒 3️⃣ For your convenience (if you’re going), first thing is to check the time for the digging fossils game, and queue for it at least 15 mins before that, if you missed it, the waiting time is 45 mins (for the staff to clean and set up), short play time and seems simple but kids love it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wouldn’t say it’s total waste of time, because if you’re a dino fans, or easily pleased like my kids, you’d enjoyed taking some “adventurous “ photos with the dinos. The models are fascinating. However, it would make more sense if it’s charging $80-$100 for entrance fees instead of $168-$380. This event is organised by Snow Palace, Starry and Big Honor, and the exhibition will be held at FTlife Tower starting from today (17 December) to 13 Feb 2022. Session Times (each at 90 mins; trust me it’s more than enough) ⭕️Weekdays: 11am / 1pm / 3pm / 5pm ⭕️Weekends and public holidays: 10am/ 12pm / 2pm / 4pm / 6pm/ 8pm I got my tickets from Trip via https://bit.ly/3C0xpRb X #dinosaurtheme #dinosaur #jurassicpark #dinosaurexhibition #hkblogger #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #playtime #kidsactivities #mykids馬來港孩 #恐龍展覽 #侏羅紀恐龍樂園 #親子好去處 #週末好去處 #侏羅紀恐龍樂園香港站 #親子

Dinosaur Park

That’s what my kids have been calling Ping Shek Playground （坪石遊樂場) . Located on a top of a hill in Choi Hung, this dinosaur theme playground seems to excite kids, taking them into a world of imagination and adventurous (well, at least that’s how my kids played) . The playground is filled with caves showing archaic wall paintings, dinosaurs bones and fossils, and a castle play. There are swings at the back, slides, bars for climbing and the special one is a holding drops (I’m not sure what is that called officially, it’s like a fireman pole but all you have to do is hold the handle and step on the plate, then let your body weight take you down) . My kids met some other kids, and they began playing catch, then move on to role playing pirates going on adventure, climbing up and down, using the castle as their base, the cave as dungeon to keep prisoners, and sometimes with serious discussion into where to run and hide. Mom think: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Kids think: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Shade: Not really, unless hiding in the cave Enclosed: No. It’s quite spacious and different exit , so do keep an eye on kids Toilet: Yes, it’s under LCSD, so it’s public toilet but it’s reasonably clean. Refreshment: Vending machines near the toilet How to get there: - 10 mins walk uphill from Choi Hung MTR station exit A1 - Minibus 82 stops at Choi Hing Court （彩興苑） - Parking on site right next to tennis court X #hongkongplayground #choihung #pingshekplayground #dinosaurtheme #hkkids #hkblogger #hongkongmom #childrenplayground #pingshek #adventureplayground #hkplayground #kidsactivities #outdoor #familyactivities #playground #mykids馬來港孩 #遊樂場 #兒童遊樂場 #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #香港遊樂場 #戶外活動 #彩虹 #坪石遊樂場 #親子好去處 #公園遊樂場 #恐龍遊樂場 #親子活動 #九龍

Playright PlayScope

A long overdue playhouse. Should’ve visit when kids are under 5. Playright values children’s right to playc focus on putting theories into practice, child-centred and seek societal commitment to build and upgrade more playful facilities for children to play without worrying. PlayScope opened in 2009, a play centre wholly designed and operated by Playright. All the items are child-centred, so my kids were still able to have fun and enjoy every bits of it. However, I do think it’ll benefit younger children. There are different sections, the climbers; messy room where children allowed to draw everywhere in the room; buildings area with blocks; lots of role playing such as construction, household, medical, car racing; workshop area with scraps and cardboards for them to work on etc. Operation: - 10:00~13:00 and 14:30~17:30 - Tues to Fri $100 / child accompanied by an adult - Weekend and public holiday $140 /child accompanied by an adult - $40 for additional adults ^ prebooking required Address: Tai Wo Estate Block 12, Hang Wo House, Kai Wo Rd, Tai Wo Estate Carpark: Yes at Tai Wo Estate Shopping Mall How to get there: MTR to Tai Wo Station exit B X #playhouse #indoorplayhouse #playright #playscope #hongkongplayhouse #hongkongmom #hongkongkids #kidsactivities #afterschool #hkblogger #childcentred #mykids馬來港孩 #香港遊樂場 #室內遊樂場 #親子好去處 #親子活動 #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #智樂 #萬象館 #太和站 #智樂遊戲萬象館 #香港兒童

Tsz Wan Shan Playground 慈雲山中心歷奇遊樂場

While everyone is talking about the NEW and quite happening shopping mall playground at MOKO, I took kids to one at Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre. It’s another free playground at the shopping mall but this one with quite a big area of water splashing equipments, huge climbing nets and rope climber. There’s a 2-storey slide for user age 7 or 120cm and above. K is at the borderline and was thinking to give it a go, but then she walk away after hearing the other big kid saying it’s steep and too fast 😂 Kids spent most of the time under the shower, jumping in the puddles, then running around with other kids playing catch. We were there for a session, they had fun, but I don’t think it’s worth a second visit. Tips: ✅ bring extra clothes because kids will definitely get wet ✅ wear socks in case you need a grip ✅ shoes off at all area with rubber flooring ✅ there’s locker if you need to store personal items ✅ get tickets to entry at the podium next to escalator opposite of the jewellery shop Shade: We went for the 2.30pm session on a sunny day, but shaded by the building nearby. Enclosed: Yes Toilet: Shopping mall Refreshment: bubble tea shop and cafe de coral just next to the playground ✅ 4 sessions per day Giving our tickets at 10am A 10:30-11:45 B 12:00 - 13:15 Giving out tickets at 2pm C 14:30-15:45 D 16:00 - 17:15 Mom : ⭐️ Kids: ❤️ ❤️ How to get there: - MTR to diamond hill, walk for 15 mins or hop on to minibus no 19s - drive and park at the Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre X #hongkongplayground #tszwanshan #shoppingmallplayground #hkkids #hkbloggrr #hongkongmom #childrenplayground #tszwanshanplayground #adventureplayground #hkplayground #kidsactivities #outdoor #diamondhills #familyactivities #playground #mykids馬來港孩 #遊樂場 #兒童遊樂場 #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #香港遊樂場 #戶外活動 #慈雲山 #慈雲山中心歷奇遊樂場 #親子好去處 #公園遊樂場 #歷奇遊樂場 #親子活動 #九龍 #鑽石山

Tsuen Wan Riveria Park Playground

If you happened to pass by Tsuen Wan, and got tired of the playground at Tsuen Wan Plaza or Tsuen Wan Park.. perhaps consider taking a short walk from Tsuen Wan Park towards the direction of Tsing Yi Bridge along the promenade. There’s another playground right next to the school. Quite a classic playground with slides, climbing bars, fireman’s pole, twirling slides. But there are 2 old school’s metal slides in front of the playground, there are stairs at both sides and it’s in between 2 playground (lower one for toddlers and upper one for kids age 5 and above).

Coombe Road’s Children Playground

Cont’d. After spending some time at Wan Chai Gap Park’s playground, we walked across to another playground, sitting right next to the metered parking lots, closer to the Police Museum. Another classic playground with swings at the back, climbing nets and bars, fireman’s pole, twirling slide and a rather steep slide. However, this playground offer something my kids love it so much they spent almost an hour on it - a spinning top with climbing nets! It’s in a shape where the spinning is based on the gyroscopic effect when kids climbing the nets. Shade: No Enclosed: No Toilet: Public toilet across the road Refreshment: Food stall across the road Mom : ⭐️ Kids: ❤️ ❤️ How to get there: - citybus no 15 and get off at wan chai gap road station - taxi from wanchai approx $60 - drive and park at the metered carpark at 23 Coombe Road (right next to the park) X #hongkongplayground #wanchai #wanchaigap #hkkids #hkbloggrr #hongkongmom #childrenplayground #coomberoadchildrenplayground #hongkongisland #hkplayground #kidaactivities #outdoor #familyactivities #playground #mykids馬來港孩 #遊樂場 #兒童遊樂場 #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #香港遊樂場 #戶外活動 #灣仔 #灣仔峽公園#親子好去處 #公園遊樂場 #攀爬 #甘道兒童遊樂場 #親子活動 #港島

Wan Chai Gap Park

This is quite a hidden park in between Coombe Road and Mount Cameron Road. It’s so quiet and we have the playground to ourselves most of the time. I was quite surprised to see a food stall selling snacks, hot food and cold beverage. Apparently this park is a refreshment stop for hikers taking the “Wan Chai Gap Road to Aberdeen Country Park” trail. The park is remote and quite on weekday, too quiet that we met a mommy wild boar and her piglets searching for food from the trash cans. Kids were so excited to see the adorable piglets but I have to warn them about getting too close to the wild animals. It’s a proper park, with tables, chairs and benches, the garden is being taken care of and it’s rather clean and peaceful environment. The playground is right next to food stall, with benches around it. A classic playground with swings, tunnels, slides, simple climbing bars and the fireman’s pole. The only special is a short zipline. It’s far too simple, perhaps great fun for kids age 1-5. Definitely not worth it if you have to travel far for it. Shade: No Enclosed: Not exactly but there’s only 2 entrance in and out of the playground area Toilet: Public toilet behind the food stall Refreshment: Food stall next to playground Mom : ⭐️ Kids: ❤️ ❤️ There’s another playground just across the road, the Coombe Road Children’s Playground, to be shared soon. How to get there: - citybus no 15 and get off at wan chai gap road station - taxi from wanchai approx $60 - drive and park at the metered carpark at 23 Coombe Road (right next to the park) X #hongkongplayground #wanchai #wanchaigap #hkkids #hkbloggrr #hongkongmom #childrenplayground #wanchaigappark #hongkongisland #hkplayground #kidaactivities #outdoor #familyactivities #playground #mykids馬來港孩 #遊樂場 #兒童遊樂場 #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #香港遊樂場 #戶外活動 #灣仔 #灣仔峽公園#親子好去處 #公園遊樂場 #攀爬 #灣仔峽道遊樂場 #親子活動 #港島

Morse Park No. 4

I’m not sure if I’ll ever find out this playground if not because K is having tennis training here. Apparently, there are plenty of tennis courts at Morse Park. To my surprise , Morse Park is actually quite a big park, divided into few section; Morse Park no 1 which is where the basketball court located and next to the sports centre, Morse Park 2 is next to Wong Tai Sin Cultural Garden, Morse Park No. 3 which is the soccer pitch, then Morse Park No. 4 which is where tennis courts and skateboard park located. I’m pretty sure there are another children’s playground at Morse Park No. 1 but it’s far away from No. 4, so we just hang out at the one nearby. I do think it’s a great playground in core and strength training. Different type of climbing bars, balancing log, see-saw and rock climbing walls with 2 mini slides. Climbing in general helps children to build their physicals and gross motor skills. Different climbing structures have the following benefits: 1. Intense focus on each and every move made 2. To navigate through obstacles, it trains their coordination 3. Mentally and physically solving problems in hand 4. Boosting self esteem and overcoming fear via successful climbing 5. Improvement in physical strengths Mom: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ( I love climbing for kids because it is more than fun and challenging. It is definitely beneficial for kids’ physical and mental development) My Kids : ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Shades: benches by the tree Toilet: near the tennis court Refreshment: vending machine next to the playground Enclosed: no How to get there: - Mtr Lok Fu station exit B, 5 mins walk Location: 30 Heng Lam St, Lo Fu Ngam X #morsepark #lokfu #kowloon #childrensplayground #hongkongplayground #hongkongpark #hkplayground #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #hkblogger #kidsactivities #outdoor #playground #play #mykids馬來港孩 #放學後 #玩樂是正事 #兒童遊樂場 #香港遊樂場 #香港公園遊樂場 #戶外活動 #摩士公園 #樂富 #親子好去處 #公園遊樂場 #親子活動 #攀爬 #公園

Ryze at Kodak House

Last month was Karena’s birthday month and she’s invited friends from her kindergarten to celebrate with her. To accommodate 9 kids in total, I’ve choose to held a small party Ryze. Ryze Hong Kong is the largest trampoline park in town. It has over 40 trampolines interconnecting from wall to wall, and there are foam pits and rope swings to work on like ninja trainings... Kids love this place ! We parents do think it is “taking bouncy castles at parties” to a whole new level. Note: 1. Liability waiver to be signed before you go to enhance the check in process. We signed online, and it will stay on file for a year (you don’t have to sign again when you visit during the period) 2. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Yes you’re allow you walk in, but there’s limited space, and you don’t know if everyone decided to go on the same day 3. Each jumper must wear their grip socks, which you can purchase it online or at counter Mommy think : ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Kids think : ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Opening: Weekend 0900-2100 Weekday 1000-1900 How to get there: MTR Quarry Bay station exit C, 5 mins walk Parking: there’s metered parking right next to the building, or drive around, there’s different parking lot X #ryzehongkong #trampoline #adventure #kidsactivities #jumping #hongkongkids #hongkongparents #hongkongmom #hkblogger #familyactivities #indoor #hkkids #mykids馬來港孩 #兒童適宜 #彈床 #親子好去處 #家庭活動 #親子活動 #香港好去處 #室內活動

UREC’s exhibition

Came across the Urban Renewal Exploration Centre(UREC 市區更新探知館) website and found out their exhibitions on dilapidated housing alongside the walls full of information about the urban renewal in Hong Kong including problems of urban decay and work of URA in reserve, redevelopment, rehabilitation and revitalisation. The exhibit caught my attention with the presentation of real life experience of dilapidated housing with small cubicles home, the famous caged homes, the less humane cockloft, the toilet and kitchen areas to be shared; giving us a better understanding of the poor living conditions in older districts. I learnt that some exhibits are collected from the authentic premises in the old districts. Everything is surreal. After visiting, I do think it provide some insight and allow visitors to understand urban renewal issues from different perspectives. Most of the children these days are blessed. They’ve never see a lot of things, not even the housing or livings of the poor or less fortunate. Exhibitions like this not only giving them ideas, providing them the opportunity to look closer and imagine the lifestyle; it allows them to understand the importance of reserves, redevelopment, rehabilitation and revitalisation of the urban. It’s free of charge and all tours are by appointment only. Age : Primary and above. Guided tour: Mon – Fri (except public holidays) 10:00 am to 12:00 pm & 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm Audio guided tour: Mon – Fri (except public holidays)12:30pm to 2:00pm Book via https://www.urec.org.hk/urec/about/ x #urbandecay #redevelopment #urbanrenewal #urec #hongkong #hkkids #hkblogger #hongkongmom #hongkongparents #exhibition #hkurban #experience #afterschoolactivities #hongkongtour #understanding #local #mykids馬來港孩 #親子活動 #市建局 #市區更新探知館 #中環 #放學後 #課外活動 #市區重建 #保留 #香港 #親子活動 #香港好去處

Citywalk EcoCampaign

Citywalk - Go Green, Save The Planet ! My kids have been learning and having interest in how we could help saving the planet. They got the ideas from Mr and myself, then building the knowledge through books especially the Lorax series, leave a comment if you are interested, I wouldn’t mind dm you the titles), school on eco theme and our visits to Noah’s Ark. We past by this campaign at City Walk 1 & 2 and found out they turn the central of the mall into a forest theme! Having giant elephants made with eco-friendly boards, informations on elephants in the forests. As a s+ rewards member, an app to accumulate points for expenses at sinomalls, I have enough points (3 points per kids for the adventure) for kids to have a indoor little fun on a amber rain + thunderstorm + typhoon day. Hence, MyKids became “eco-rangers” and take on the zips with their bananas, walk them wobbly bridge and stools, crawl over the net then feed the hungry elephant. After completing the mission, they are rewarded to a elephant dung notebook making workshop. When I explained the notebook workshop, kids were super excited to smell the papers made by elephant poop 🤦🏻‍♀️ they find it disgusting, but amazed by how animal poops could turn into papers. K even mentioned we don’t have to chop off too many trees for papers anymore! There are different kind of workshops, so please check them out for yourself. And if you’re not s+ member, just download the app, it’s free and start collecting points. The campaign is running from 17 July to 29 August, so you definitely have time to collect at least 3 points (approx $3xx spending) for your kid to have a go.

Donut Playhouse

Donut Playhouse I love shopping at K11’s Stream+B for kids books, art & crafts set, and toys. There were this promotion “With spending over $1000, there’s a complimentary game experience on weekdays at the Donut Playhouse” ; hence, given us opportunity to play for free 🤭 So, if you’re wondering, Donut Playhouse is a indoor playhouse located at K11 Musea; a 3 storey slide, digital game experience on a huge screens, some balancing blocks, balls and hoops, soft play area for little kids (which turn out to be a treasure hunting activity when we are there). We arrived 15 mins early for registration, then kids gear up (helmets) and we are given plastic covers for shoes. So the first part of the slides from g/f to b1, you could go on a few times, or just hang around to play the digital game or throw some balls; after 30 mins , the other slide from b1 to b2 is opened, where you can only slide down once. After that, you have 15 mins of treasure hunting (finding donuts and gold stars) at the soft playing area. And at the same time, staff asking parents/ guardians to join the free membership. That’s about it. Honestly, it’s so far the most uninteresting playhouse we’ve ever been to. Mom thinks: ⭐️ ( I’ll give it for the 3 storey slide design, it’s pretty cool. However, both my kids got friction burns from it) Kids thinks: ⭐️ (they find the digital interactive game experience interesting, mainly because they rarely play games on screens lol) Fee: $220/40mins weekdays $280/60 mins weekend and public holidays Opening hours: Weekdays - 11am to 7pm Weekend and public holiday - 11am to 8pm Cleaning time: 2-3pm Location: Shop G050, G/F K11 Musea #indoorplayhouse #hongkongplayhouse #香港遊樂場 #k11musea #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #playhouse #shoppingmallplayground #complimentary #review #personalexperience #mykids馬來港孩 #室內遊樂場 #親子好去處懶人包

Ting Kau Beach

Ting Kau Beach Many have heard or been to Lido Beach in Tsuen Wan, but very few mentioned a small gazetted beach managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department right next to it, called the Ting Kau Beach. It sits under Ting Kau Bridge and looks out to Tsing Yi. There are metered carpark along the road, or you could take bus route 234b that stops at Ting Kau Village. On far left (facing the sea) of the beach sits the changing/ showering/ toilets facilities and the children playground is to the right. It’s a quite beach, we went on a Friday evening, good for just chilling and kids on sand-related activities. Water quality: Poor. Despite checking the EPD stated good… there are rubbish in the ocean. It’s so bad that we decided not getting in the water. Lifeguard: On duty Facilities: Showers, changing room, toilets are reasonably clean. Bring your own food and drinks, I don’t remember seeing vending machines.

Abandoned Treehouse

Found this short hiking route via TimHiking and I went with my mom’s group friends. We went hiking once a month, after sending kids to school. It’s our mom time kind of me-time. It all started at Tai Ho MTR station exit A. Walk towards Tai Ho Plaza, walk towards the park, you’ll pass by Kam Wo Bridge. Follow the sign and head to Lin Au. When you’re at Kam Shek New Village, turn right to the parking lot. Walk through and you’ll see a small pavements at the left. From here, it’s basically one way up, and you’ll see signs of Wat Makthumvanaram. Yes. This abandoned tree house located right behind a temple. It’s a Thai temple. We have to pass through the temple, take the stairs at the back to the treehouse. The staffs are friendly, offering us drinks. When you’re here, please be quite and respectful. It’s really a beautiful place. The streams are clear, the surrounding greens makes everything it looks like a fairyland. Duration: - MTR to Temple round trip (approx 1.5 hours) - We took another route to Tai Po Market and got lost half way (3 hours in total) Distance:4.6km Max.

Airport Theme Playgr

If you live in Hong Kong long enough, you should know that Hong Kong was once famous of its airport at Kai Tak. The one right next to residential areas, where plane literally just fly right above buildings. After it moved to Lantau Island, Kai Tak became just another residential area. Anyway, few weeks ago, I took kids to this playground, it’s in between housings, on a huge platform, pretty sure it’s public area as there isn’t any sign saying other wise. As I expected, K and D love it ! There are 2 section, I call one the airport and another one the airplane. At airport, you see settings for check in counters, departure gate, duty free shop, coffee shop etc, and a simple playground equipment with slide. The airplane area is a big playground equipment with slides, climbing bars, tunnels, stools etc. Toilet: Estates’ mall toilet just 5 mins walk away Coffee/ Refreshments: 7-11 and local cafes at the mall Enclosed: No Shaded: Yes How to get there: - All busses to Kai Tak (Kai Ching Estate) - Kai Tak MTR station, 8 mins walk to Kai Ching Estate Mommy thinks ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Kids thinks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ X #outdoorplayground #themepark #kaitak #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #hkblogger #hkkids #outdoor #playground #kowlooncity #airporttheme #hongkongplayground #mykids馬來港孩 #兒童遊樂場 #遊樂場 #啟德機場 #啟晴邨 #主題遊樂場 #親子好去處 #放學後 #兒童適宜 #親子好去處懶人包

Whale Garden

Passed by DPark the other day and kids wanted to go to the Whale Garden. We used to go on a weekly basis, prior covid; it is an outdoor playground but fully shaded by the mall. It’s considered “theme park” of a shopping mall, hence there’s opening hours. Kids and myself love this playground because it provides a variety of facilities that train kids muscles and coordinations. They have 2 sections, one for young child of 2-5yo with simple equipments like the bouncy crab, drum circle, sea saw and the giraffe theme slides and climbers; and another section at the sperm whale theme playground with lots of climbing, steep slides, clown fish climbing bars and the whirls. For parents and guardians? It’s fully covered, no sun and no rain, enclosed with only 1 entrance to the shopping mall guarded by a staff. However,due to covid, you can’t walk in like we used to. The garden opens daily from 12noon to 5.30pm BUT you can only register in person. And there’s time limits for each sessions. ✅For 12noon to 2.30pm sessions, you may register at 11.30am ✅For 3pm to 5.30pm sessions, you may register at 2.30pm Each with 30 mins play time, and limit to 1 adult and 1 kid per register. We were there at 3.30pm on a weekday and was told all sessions are full. The staff mentioned it’s always full immediately on a daily basis. I guess you just have to come early for registration. Guess I’ll just share pictures I had in my archives for reference. Photos taken in Oct 2019 Toilet: Shopping mall toilet Coffee/ Refreshments: Delifrance and other cafe in the mall on the same floor How to get there: - Tsuen Wan MTR station exit A3 to D Park - Buses passing by D Park - Park your car at D Park shopping mall X #indoorplayground #shoppingmallplayground #outdoorplayground #themepark #whalegarden #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #hkblogger #hkkids #outdoor #playground #dpark #tsuenwan #hongkongplayground #mykids馬來港孩 #兒童遊樂場 #遊樂場 #鯨魚花園 #商場遊樂場 #荃灣 #愉景新城 #親子好去懶人包 #親子好去處推介

KidzTech at Whampoa

🌈 I’ve heard good things about Kidztech for a while. Finally understand why friends have been recommending; it’s spacious, clean and tidy, spectacular view, varieties in type of play equipment for young children. Personally love the crowd control. I book the first session on Sunday, which is 9-11am via their booking system and I do think it’s not crowded like many other indoor playground. We arrived 5 mins before our session, filled in the covid forms, make payments for entrance fees, and sanitised before kids running straight to the play area. There’s climbing nets, kids gym equipments, sand pits, slides, animals and vehicles figure setting, costumes etc. K and D spent most of their time at the climbing net and sand pits.

Ho Pui Reservoir

Still consider it a family friendly hike despite the uphill paved road beginning from the village; then it’s an entirely flat paths around the reservoir. Uphill part of the walk do get us sweating. Thought you’ll be seeing the view over Kam Tin. Completed in 1962, Ho Pui Reservoir dam wall is pretty cool. Walking along it, on the right is the gallons of reservoir and on the left you’ll be able to see the dam wall. My kids enjoyed hiking; especially when we saw special creatures such as Koi fishes swimming in the reservoir, lizards that came to say hello, ladybug that flew by, tadpoles at the creek and caterpillars on tree branches. While hiking along Ho Pui Reservoir family trail , you’ll come across some “hot spot” aka instagram worthy photo spot. You won’t miss it as there will be people queuing for it 🥱 If you must know, it’s the bamboo forests (you won’t miss it) and the huge vine swing (near the creek where you’ll find tadpoles) Distance : 4.55km Duration: approx 2 hours Altitudes: 324m Toilet: Public toilet near the bus stop or another one on the way to reservoir next to the barbecue site Difficulties: ⭐️ ⭐️ (most difficult could be the uphill at the beginning) Scenic: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ^family friendly but definitely not pram friendly (especially if you’re going to take the family trail) How to get there: - mini bus 71 - taxi from kam sheung road mtr station (there are parking spots next to it) Parking at the village is not recommended for so many reason X #hiking #hongkongkids #familyhiking #familyactivities #hongkongmom #familytime #adventure #reservoir #nature #hikinghk #outdoor #hopui #mykids馬來港孩 #山系小孩 #香港行山 #親子行山 #親子活動 #戶外活動 #家庭活動 #週末好去處 #香港媽媽 #香港兒童 #親子好去處懶人包

Hong Kong’s South Pole - Po Toi Island Day trip to Po Toi with kids’ buddies. Even at outdoor, mask on face at all time (maybe not, for photo purposes). So, where is this Po Toi I’m talking about?

Then begins our walk by turning left once leaving the pier, and continue walking in clockwise direction. It’s a circular trail. So you’ll be covering Old Mansion of Family Mo, Coffin Rock then stop at Ngau Wu Teng (which is the highest point of Po Toi) for some snacks and tea break. Then continue walking, it’s going downhill towards second part of the circular trail, with rocks formations such as tortoise rock, monk rock, palm cliff and passing the 126 lighthouse. This area in the southernmost circular trail. It is also the shortest, and most popular camping site on Po Toi Island. * Distance: approx 5km * Altitudes: 188m * Time: approx 3 hours (breaks included) * Toilet: cubicle toilet at pier and beginning point of circular trail part 2 * Difficulties: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (plenty of stairs heading up and down with no shades for 2/3 of the trail) * Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How to get there: - from Aberdeen : Tues & Thurs depart at 10am , 3.30pm from Po Toi ; Sat at 10am or 3pm, 2pm or 4pm returning from Po Toi via Stanley; Sun at 8.15am with 6pm returning via Stanley. - from Stanley : Sat at 1.20pm, 2pm or 4pm from Po Toi; public holiday have 4 time slots back and forth.
