Most tourists bring their kids to Hong Kong’s Disneyland and Ocean Park but after that, confusion sets in when it comes to taking them to other places in the region. Hong Kong has a lot of entertainment for children in every nook and cranny and all you have to do is broaden your scope! If you’re going to Hong Kong with your young ones, here are three places that they’ll enjoy!

The Peak

Kids love high places! If the skies are clear, going to The Peak can give you and your child a stunning view of Hong Kong. After taking selfies at The Peak Tower, you can walk around the Peak Walk Circle for more shots. There’s a playground somewhere in the area for kids who want to take a break as it takes about an hour to cover the entire walk.

Hong Kong Science Museum

Here’s an educational site for kids. Hong Kong Science Museum has over 300 exhibits on display including Cathay Pacific’s first ever airliner that impressively hangs from the ceiling. There are a lot of activities that allows kids to be creative with their hands, including simulators that can give them the basics for driving an airplane or car. There are also a number of activities that kids can partake that can enhance their social skills, as well as brain development.

Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car

If your kid is the adventurous type, he or she is going to love the Ngong Ping 360. The Ngong Ping 360 is a cable car with a glass bottom, allowing tourists to see Hong Kong from all angles. Some of the notable sites to see while riding the cable car are the Tian Tian Buddha (Big Buddha) and the Po Lin Monastery – a holy place that was founded in 1906. You don’t need to make a reservation as the cable car accommodates passengers very quickly.

If your kids haven’t been to Disneyland or Ocean Park, though, don’t hesitate to take them there. They are certainly good places for kids, especially Disneyland, which donates a total of HK$1 million in annual grants to children’s charities. Apart from hospitals, Hong Kong Disneyland also supports scholarship programs and other activities that can improve children’s welfare in the community. Disneyland is kind of like the South East Asian version of charitable institutions in the Middle East that mainly operate in the name of underprivileged kids in their community. In short, your entrance fee will go a long way to making the world a better place. Ocean Park has charity programs too but it has a much smaller scope for kids compared to Disneyland.
