HK Family Activities 26-28 June πŸŽ‰


Hello Reader

Big weekend ahead β€” we've got a brand new exhibition opening, cheap clothes, and tons of ponies! Let's get into it (:

1. West Kowloon: Design Ah! Exhibition Opens at M+

The NHK award-winning kids' show finally gets its first overseas exhibition, and it's a proper interactive playground. 21 stations exploring everyday actions like walking, eating, and sitting β€” all designed to make kids go "ohhh THAT'S why chopsticks are shaped like that." Under 6 is free, and there's a family combo ticket if you're bringing the little ones.
πŸ“… 27 June to 10 Jan 2027 πŸ’²Regular adult tickets @ $190 πŸ‘‰ More info here​

2. Quarry Bay: Redress Secondhand Summer Pop-Up

Not strictly a kids' event, but if you need to refresh your own wardrobe sustainably (or find some gems for the tweens), this huge secondhand sale has pieces from $50. Tailoring on-site too. Good excuse to teach kids about sustainable fashion while you shop.
πŸ“… Now to Sunday, 11am to 6pm πŸ’²Free! πŸ‘‰ ​More info here​​

3. Sha Tin: Pony World at Penfold Park

The Jockey Club's revamped pony attraction opens on the 22nd, so by this weekend it'll be fresh and new. $50/person, book through the HKJC website. Expect crowds β€” but also expect very happy horse-loving kids.
πŸ“… 10am-12noon; 2:30pm-4:30pm πŸ’²Regular adult tickets @ $50 πŸ‘‰ ​​More info here​​​

4. Wanchai: Baseball5 Dynamic Happy Hour at SummerFest

Free outdoor play zone with a 260-sqm inflatable obstacle course, hand-crank racing cars, and a giant spinning top (physics lesson disguised as fun). Weekend hours are 1pm-9pm. Bring a change of clothes and mosquito repellant! There's also a free baseball event happening this Sunday with professional coaches on hand to guide you and your kids through the movements and rules!
πŸ“… Sat 1-9pm; Sunday 10am-5pm πŸ’²Free! πŸ‘‰ ​​​More info here​​​​

⭐️⭐️⭐️ BONUS TIP: M+ and HKPM are both FREE on July 1st (Wednesday) - mark your calendars! (Sadly Design Ah! exhibition isn't included );)

Hello Reader Is the weather finally getting a little cooler? My fingers are crossed! πŸ˜… 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 πŸ˜… 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? πŸ™‹πŸ»β™€οΈ 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!...
