The Best Indoor Playgrounds And Playrooms In Hong Kong

Sassy Mama — Sun, 26 May 2024 22:00:34 +0000

Hong Kong indoor playgrounds are a whole lot of fun! There are indoor playhouses ranging from soft padded playrooms for babies to indoor climbing walls for teens, play centres in shopping malls and restaurants with fun zones.

As Sassy parents, we’re always on the lookout for a good indoor playroom – especially during the rainy season when outdoor playgrounds are off-limits! Sometimes, we need to pack the kids off on a playdate with friends while we work from home, at other times, we need a play area that doubles up as a party venue, or an indoor play centre that also offers after-school classes. And ever so often, we want to discover a new indoor playroom as a family when we are looking for things to do with the kids, even more so on weekends.

Hong Kong’s unpredictable weather means that it’s often too hot or humid to spend a day outdoors, so keep this list of indoor playrooms and activity centres for children of all ages (and you!) at hand and bookmarked for when you most need it.

Top Outdoor Activities For Teens In Hong Kong

Beaches

If your teen is looking to enjoy a day out in the sun, Hong Kong has a wealth of beautiful beaches that are only a short hop on public transport away, if you’re not already lucky enough to have one within walking distance! Those seeking a little more privacy on a smaller, more remote beach might prefer a junk boat trip. Most will even do catering packages, so grab your friends and their kids (or your teenager’s friends) and prepare for a little getaway. Just be sure to bring sunscreen and don a swimsuit if you plan to get your feet a little wet!

Hikes

Hong Kong may be best known for its skyscrapers and closely packed buildings, but there’s also plenty of nature to explore in this concrete jungle. The city has several great hiking paths, with something for everyone, whether you’re an amateur who prefers flat ground or a professional who loves high altitudes. There’s no better way to get some exercise than up on a hill, taking in amazing views of the city from up high (not to mention all the Insta-worthy shots!).

Public Libraries

With 70 static locations and 12 mobile ones, a public library can be just the place for some quiet alone time for your teens. Our favourite is the Central Library in Causeway Bay, with a wealth of facilities and the largest collection of books. If they want to take something home at the end of the day, getting a library card is as easy as filling in a form – you can even register your HKID as a library card.

Sassy Mama Tip: To avoid fines, renew your book loan or even request for a book to be transported to the closest library to you, get the public libraries app on your phone. Simply log in and you’ll be sent reminders to renew or return your books – so no more marking calendars.

Swimming Pools In Hong Kong

This is another family favourite! Beat the heat by spending a day poolside or showing off your cannonball. Hong Kong has lots of public pools and hotel pools around the city with options for any budget.

Picnics In The Park

The Hong Kong government has invested a good amount of money in creating these welcome breaks from our towering buildings, making it a great place to go for teens to hang out with their friends this summer. Make a day of it by bringing a hamper and a picnic blanket, and people-watch and play card games to your heart’s content.

The Top Public Swimming Pools In Hong Kong For Kids And Families

Sassy Mama — Tue, 14 May 2024 22:00:48 +0000

With plenty of affordable public swimming pools in Hong Kong to choose from, there’s no reason not to grab your kids and dive in! Why not try out a nearby swimming pool or make a trip to enjoy the variety of public pools with water slides, fountains, splash buckets and more.

The best way to cool off this summer is to jump into some of the fabulous public swimming pools in Hong Kong. We are spoiled for choice with 44 public swimming pools in all corners of Hong Kong, so chances are, there’s one not too far away. Admission price to the LCSD pools is fixed no matter where you go, $17 for adults on weekdays and $19 on weekends and public holidays. For children (aged 3 to 13 years) and seniors, it’s $8 on weekdays and $9 on weekends and public holidays. Toddlers under 3 years get in free!

Sassy Mama Tips:

Water-loving families can look into monthly passes, which are $300 per adult and $150 per child, full-time student, disabled person (and their minder) or senior. Click here for more information on prices.
We’ve been caught out promising the kids water slides only to find the kids’ swimming pools shut. It’s a good idea to call ahead to check if the facilities you want to use are open. Phone numbers for each pool are included in the listings below.

Kennedy Town Swimming Pool

Conveniently located and easy to get to from Central, the Kennedy Town Swimming Pool is always a favourite with kids! There are two indoor pools, a Jacuzzi and two outdoor swimming pools – one for the kids with water slides, colourful plastic animals and the works, and the other for mamas, papas and big kids! It’s right opposite Belcher’s Bay Park, so if your kids haven’t expended all their energy swimming, you can always hop across to the outdoor playground for some more playtime, while you get your daily run.

Kiztopia Hong Kong: Mega Play Area In Sha Tin & Tseung Kwan O

Anita Balagopalan — Mon, 13 May 2024 22:00:44 +0000

Combining play with edutainment, it’s no wonder that Kiztopia has been a hit with kids and parents alike since its Hong Kong launch! In two years, Kiztopia has opened two branches in Hong Kong, and whether you’re going to Sha Tin or Tseung Kwan O, we tell you what you need to know to plan your visit to Kiztopia Hong Kong.

There are plenty of reasons why Kiztopia is considered a kid’s utopia! Started by a mum-of-two who knows just what kids want, this popular indoor playground chain from Singapore has been a huge hit in Hong Kong. Kiztopia opened its first outlet in New Town Plaza in Sha Tin in 2022, following that branch with its largest play centre in Park Central in Tseung Kwan O. Both branches are huge, and packed with play and learning options for kids of all ages and their fun-loving parents. If you haven’t visited Kiztopia yet, we can tell you it’s worth a family day out to the New Territories. Read on to learn how to make the most of your visit to Kiztopia Hong Kong.

Kiztopia Hong Kong: First Outlet In New Town Plaza, Sha Tin

The first outlet in Hong Kong opened at New Town Plaza, and it’s an eye-watering 12,000 square feet of everything to do with playing and learning! It has up to 15 play areas, some of which have giant slides (2 storeys high! Didn’t we mention ‘mega’ before?!), while others have ball pits, climbing frames, bubble pools, trampolines and more. It caters to all ages, so you’ll find parents having just as much fun as their kids. Inspired by the Disney movie, Zootopia, Kiztopia features original animal characters, including a bear, hippo, tiger and rabbit; and play areas are themed to suit the animal they represent.

Kiztopia Hong Kong: Second And Largest Outlet In Park Central, Tseung Kwan O

Calling all space-crazy kids! The second Kiztopia Hong Kong branch is outer space-themed. And it’s bigger than the earlier branch. This one reaches stratospheric dimensions – it’s 13,000 square feet and has 19 play areas targeting the Gen Alpha kids with innovative challenges, including robotics competitions, interactive kinaesthetic devices, projection technology and games. Expect speedy slides and even a “volcanic slide” in the Mojo zone.

Sassy Mama Tip: The TKO branch of Kiztopia HK is new so it’s not yet crowded on weekdays. When you’re there, everyone in the family MUST try the Velcro Trampoline Wall. Wear a suit and jump and stick yourself to the wall. Who said it’s only the kids bouncing off the walls?

Want to see more of Kiztopia Hong Kong’s TKO branch?

Our Favourites At Kiztopia HK: Occupational Experience Zone, Pretend Play, Bouncy Castle, Drago’s Challenge, Giant Volcanic Slides And More

Playing at Kiztopia’s well-designed play areas is meant to help develop a child’s motor skills; such as the sections for obstacle courses and role-playing, which also work on a child’s problem-solving ability and creativity. We love the Occupation Experience Zone and workshops, where children get a chance to play and learn about various professions, including a chance to be a store manager.

Our Sassy Juniors have also passed their verdict! They love the:

rock climbing zones (also toddler-friendly!)
trampolines
sand pits (instead of sand, they use tiny wooden cubes – interesting texture to play in!)
pretend supermarket
bowling areas (we love that the staff are always there to help!)
car engineering set-up
and last but certainly not the least, the Drago inflatable bouncy castle!

Kiztopia Hong Kong Policies & Learning Philosophies – Why Parents Love It!

Kiztopia believes that learning happens hand-in-hand with playing. Inspired by Howard Gardner’s theory on multiple intelligences, Kiztopia offers enrichment programmes and activities that work on making your young learner Word Smart, Logic Smart, Picture Smart, Music Smart, Body Smart, People Smart, Nature Smart or Self Smart.

Parents love the fact that their kids are well taken care of in Kiztopia. The mum-founder has specifically instructed the staff at Kiztopia to be attentive to children and watch out for signs of rough play, bullying and playground politics. The Sassy Mamas on the team can vouch for the fact that the environment is safe and it’s quite relaxing to spend time at Kiztopia Hong Kong while the kids are happily and productively engaged.

Kiztopia Hong Kong: Tickets, Pricing & Opening Hours

Kiztopia offers specific day and any-day tickets on Klook, along with annual passes. You don’t need to book a time slot and can use the ticket for one or two hours (as per the ticket purchased) at any time within the operating hours of Kiztopia. Buy your ticket and exchange it for a wristband at the reception. Remember that wristbands are not exchangeable, so you can’t swap places with your partner halfway through the time you are there.

Children under the age of 12 months enter for free along with a paying child or adult (birth certificate required for verification). The prices for child tickets include the price for an adult, as all children under 12 years have to be accompanied by a paying adult or paying child.

Sassy Mama tip: Always buy your tickets on Klook in advance to ensure that you get a spot. The staff at Kiztopia are careful to control the number of people at the playground, so you might need to wait a while before entering (don’t worry – given the size of Kiztopia, it’s never too long!). However, popular spots like the giant slides can get crowded, so watch out for excited children who may forget to follow the rules thanks to the rush of adrenaline!

Operating hours: Monday to Sunday – 10am to 8pm; Last admission: 7pm
How much: Starting at $108 for a 1-hour day pass
Booking: Kiztopia Sha Tin tickets are available on Klook; Kiztopia TKO tickets available on Klook.

Kiztopia Hong Kong: Popular Venue For Birthday Parties & School Events

Naturally, Kiztopia is a popular venue for birthday parties. Birthday party packages for a party of 10 children (and accompanying adults) start at $4,588.

Kiztopia Hong Kong also does school and group events. For a minimum of 30 kids, school events are arranged for $198/student and accompanying teacher. Your child’s school could choose to customise the package by adding fun and learning activities for the children.

Brand Extensions Of Kiztopia – Bouncetopia & Jumptopia

Kiztopia has now expanded its presence in Hong Kong with its Bouncetopia and Jumptopia brands. The Bouncetopia outlet in Airside, Kai Tak is the brand’s first overseas presence (after Singapore) and its largest! Not quite as big as Kiztopia but large nevertheless, this indoor playground is over 8,000 square feet. It caters to a slightly younger clientele (2 to 10 years old) and has up to 13 obstacle courses and a huge inflatable trampoline castle.

Jumptopia is Kiztopia’s mega bouncy castle event, usually done at mall atriums for special and festive occasions.

Booking: Klook

Other Important Information While Visiting Kiztopia Hong Kong

Looking to refuel while at Kiztopia? You don’t need to step out of the playground at all. Visit Bell Cafe at Kiztopia and order snacks for kids and cool yourself down with some iced tea. The menu is limited but your kids are likely to be having too much fun to notice!
