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 Marine Parks 30th AnniversaryThis is the big one this weekend. FREE entry, body painting for the littles (1-5pm), guided tours, marine conservation booths, and ocean science talks. It's indoors with AC, which frankly is the real selling point with this weather. Great for any age and my kids enjoy generally running about and looking at the boats here (;

2. Tsuen Wan: Space Fantasy β Family MusicalA mix of live orchestra and electronic music performances combined with theatres, song, dance, digital art and circus acts? Hello, that sounds genuinely quite cool π Performed by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, the story follows a girl (performed by 10 year old harpist, Adeline Wong!) meeting an alien (relatable content for any parent). Ages 3+. Indoor, air-conditioned, and creative β won a bunch of awards in Spain apparently.
β 3. Tsim Sha Tsui: Harbour City Bazaar β Kids Books, Toys & Baby Stuff SaleBooks at 80% off, baby carriers slashed from $849 to $499, Mickey water bottles for $39. It's a warehouse sale situation at Harbour City Bazaar (5/F, 9 Canton Road). Stock up before school starts. Runs all weekend.

4. Tai Po: Play in the Woods β Forest Night Shadows Overnight CampA proper 2-day-1-night parent-and-child adventure inside Kadoorie Farm β storytelling, sensory play, forest art, and a torchlit night walk hunting bugs and animal tracks (this is the kind of thing that becomes a core memory, not just an outing). It's built specifically for ages 4-5 with one parent, capped at 8 family groups, so it stays intimate rather than a mob. Caveat: it's a splurge (HK$2,300/pair, accommodation from HK$950, extra parent HK$1,500) and meals + transport from Tai Po Market are included. Book by 31 Aug, first come first serve!

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 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!...
Hello Reader Summer's winding down finally and kids are back at school - can we all breathe a collective sigh of relief? π Although of course, a tiny part of me already misses hanging out with them so here's some ideas for what to do this weekend! 1. Sheung Wan: βFantastic Fairy Talesβ β Relaxed Performances Available A lovely stage show for little ones (recommended 3+), and importantly: they offer relaxed performances on 15 August (11am & 3pm) where kids can move around, make noise, and take...
