HK Family Activities (4-5 April)
|
Hello Reader 🐣 It's the Easter long weekend and if you're not one of the thousands of people leaving town, there's tons going on in Hong Kong. Here are 6 things worth getting off the sofa for: 1. Tai Po: Green Hub Easter Open Day Green Hub (its inside the old Tai Po Police Station) is running an Easter open day — free entry, runs 10am–5pm. There's an artisan market, wildlife conservation exhibits, storytelling under a banyan tree, outdoor stretching, and a music performance series. The most fun Easter-specific thing: a natural egg dyeing workshop on 6 April where you use KFBG farm eggs and seasonal herbs to make the dye. Walk-in for most things, but pre-register your visit slot if you want to guarantee entry. 👉 Register here | Full programme 2. Lantau: Ark Eden Spring Camp If you haven't booked Easter camp yet — or your kid is going stir crazy by Thursday — check out the camps run by Ark Eden for ages 5-11. We're talking nature crafts, forest school, fire-making, the kind of outdoors day that actually tires them out. I've heard nothing but positive reviews about them and they're a registered Hong Kong charity so you know your money is going to support a bigger cause. 3. Pok Fu Lam: Bunny Butter Workshop at Pokfulam Farm This is a cute one — Pokfulam Farm (yes, who knew there's a farm in Pok Fu Lam? Not me!) is running an Easter bunny butter-making workshop for kids aged 4–10. Kids dress up as "bunnies" (bring your own decorations and accessories!), shake cream to music until it turns into butter (yes really, that's the science bit), press it into bunny moulds, and eat it with bread at the end. $150 per child. 4. Wong Chuk Hang: Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel 1-for-1 Playroom Deal If you want to change it up, Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel has a 1-for-1 deal for their playroom. It's 6400 sq feet with 7 imaginative play zones and designed for kids 2 to 10. That means 2 adults + 2 kids at $200 for an hour long session, just one MTR stop away from Admiralty. 5. West Kowloon: Sunset Disco (WestK FunFest) (still going!) Still running from last weekend and absolutely worth another mention because the Easter programme is packed. There's free outdoor stuff, but what I thought looked really lovely was the Sunset Disco (5.30-8pm) - I'd suggest to bring some colourful scarves and shakers for maximum family fun. For ticketed shows: Bob Marley for Babies ($280) is a thing that exists and honestly sounds like a vibe. 👉 Full programme | Read what I highlighted last week 6. Diamond Hill: Be a Playground Tester at 鑽石山活水公園 This one is technically April 18 (week after Easter) but registration opens 30 March and closes 10 April so I'm including it now before you forget. The new 鑽石山活水公園 (Diamond Hill Water Park / Playground) opened in November 2025 and they're now formally recruiting playground testers — you go in, explore the equipment with the designer, complete an observation task and give feedback. Open to anyone, all ages, families welcome. 30 spots per session. ---- ✌️✌️✌️ Sharing is caring — forward this to a parent friend who needs weekend plans, or tell them to sign up here! 💜💜💜 Hit reply if you have Easter activity tips I missed, or if this was helpful (or 💩) Cheers, Lulu (@unaestheticmom42) |

Hello Reader It is BOILINGGGGGG - for me that means time to hide in the shade although I am equally imagining lots of families heading to the beach (; With that in mind, I'm keeping my recommendations strictly AC only - don't hate! 1.

Happy long weekend, everyone! Buddha’s Birthday falls on Sunday, so you’ve got three whole days to fill. This week’s picks lean heavily into Hong Kong’s best cultural traditions — bun towers, floating parades, island markets. Let’s go! 1. Cheung Chau: Bun Festival & Piu Sik Parade This is THE weekend for Cheung Chau. The famous Piu Sik parade — where kids in elaborate costumes “float” through the streets on hidden steel frames — kicks off around 2pm on Sunday (24 May). Expect mini...
