Hello Reader Looks like it's gonna be a sunny weekend in Hong Kong so yay! Stay hydrated but at least you don't need to schlep around with umbrellas and wet shoes π 1. Kwai Chung: Family Dance Musical "Panda-rama"HK Dance Company's kids troupes are putting on a proper panda-themed musical at Kwai Tsing Theatre. It's their 20th anniversary show, so expect polished production values. Good for ages 4+.

2. Tsuen Wan: Weave & ShoutA free interactive textile-themed exhibition where kids can yell into fans, pump air to "rescue" dogs, and play news anchor. Plus there's a giant 3-metre school uniform installation (nostalgia trip for parents). Open daily 10amβ10pm.

4. Wanchai: Hopewell - Exotic PetsA reader went here and told me it's good so you know I had to feature it cause personal reviews = ποΈ! It's free, small and cute and her 2 year old had lots of fun looking at animals like iguanas, giant tortoise and axolotls (I had to google that last one but they are CUTE!). Theres also a dedicated aquatic zone and it's at Hopewell = completely indoors. You can also head to Toys R Us upstairs when you're done and my favourite cheap Japanese kids clothing shop! Mostly rock up but there are also some registration-required workshops and activities
