|
Hello Reader Looks like rain is on the horizon in Hong Kong but thankfully it's summer so there are both indoor and outdoor activities to keep your kids occupied - LEZZGO! And PS - Gavin Maxwell and Shuvam Mishra - drop me an email for your free Gruffalo tickets! 1. Sha Tin: Yip's Children's Choir β Alice in Wonderland OperaA proper children's opera (co-commissioned with ZΓΌrich Opera!) with seven professional singers performing Alice in Wonderland complete with insanely elaborate costumes. You might not understand the language but you'll definitely get the vibes! Best for ages 4+ β π Saturday 7.30pm / Sunday 3pm π²Adults $280+ π Details / Book hereβ 2. Causeway Bay: Chinese Myth & Legend StorytellingFree Sunday morning storytelling at Hong Kong Central Library's Children's Activity Room. This week continues the Chinese mythology series with crafts included. Call ahead to reserve β only 30 family spots per session. Canto only

Sunday 11am-12noon π²Free (but call to book!) π Details
3. Tai Po: Monthly Children Takeover at Luk Heung CommonsIf you know me, you know I'm a fan of anything involving Playrite so I had to feature this! This community space is hosting their monthly kids' day with BYO Playscape (kids build their own play structures β genius), messy art play, and a collaborative wind wall project using flattened aluminium cans. It's free, it's creative, and there's a lovely community vibe. I've heard from reliable sources that the Tai Po trek is worth it!

Saturday 11am - 5pm π²Free π Detailsβ
4. Tai Po: "Tree" Puppet Theatre PerformanceSticking with Tai Po, its also hosting a Canadian magical forest puppet show where kids can try musical instruments, play with puppets after, draw magic trees, and even dress up as forest animals. It's intimate (Black Box Theatre), interactive, and seems like the most elaborate ever sensory play session for 1 to 3 year olds!

5. Wong Chuk Hang: Waterplay at Pao Yue KongSplash into summer at Pao Yue Kong Swimming Pool's water play area β I just checked it out and it's a hit. Also such a bargain at just $19 (free for kids < three!) with a lovely new mall nearby for a post-play meal. Slides, sprays, and shallow splash zones perfect for little ones to cool off. Watch my reel for the highlights before you go. π Everyday (exc Tuesday), 6.30am-6pm (exc. noon-1pm) π²$19 (<3 year old is free) π Vibe check / Details πππ BONUS: Pici is doing kids eat free this weekend (25-26 July) β free kids' menu dish with every adult set ordered. Handy if you need a post-activity refuel. Hereβ βοΈβοΈβοΈ Sharing is caring - forward this to a fellow parent friend who's looking for weekend ideas or tell them to sign up with their own email here! πππ Hit reply if you have any ideas for events / activities to include, or if I did a great (or π©) job with this week's recommendations Cheers, Lulu (@unaestheticmom42) |

Hello Reader Is the weather finally getting a little cooler? My fingers are crossed! π Here's my picks for the upcoming weekend - proud to say I learnt something new today which is that dino fossils were discovered in HK (I'm picturing T-Rex roaming around Wanchai)! Also included a couple upcoming runs that require pre-registration, as well as a pub quiz for a good cause! 1. Tsuen Wan: D-Park baby carnival If you've got a crawler at home (6-25 months), this is their moment to shine. Free BB...
Hello Reader First red rain on a school day - I guess we're lucky that this year has had minimal weather related disruptions (so far!) but I am in awe of how HK parents deal with this on a regular basis during typhoon season! Thank god for condo indoor playrooms and light rain play π Anyway, here's my picks for the upcoming weekend - and another for a fun workshop in the future (putting it here now so you can sign up by the deadline) 1. Central: Hong Kong Maritime Museum Family Fun Day x...
Hello Reader Who else has been enjoying the breezy weather and kids back at school? ππ»βοΈ Ngl, I've been a little quiet on the social media front the past month - trying to soak in the memories with my kids and also just pooped afterwards but now that they're back in school I'm gonna try a little harder (whilst still balancing the desire not to burn out creating content haha) so stay tuned! Also, I wanted to share something personally exciting for me - scroll down to the bottom to read more!...
