Here's Why You Should Take Your Kids to Hong Kong

If you think of Hong Kong, a family vacation with the kids might just be an excuse. But then, you’re talking about exploring one of the most dynamic and vibrant cities in the world. So why not? After all, what’s life without some wanderlust? Hong Kong has plenty of attractions and activities for kids and grown-ups alike, making it a great choice for a family holiday. Right from Disneyland and Marine Park, to the Zoological Park, there’s enough to keep you and your little ones occupied while on holiday in Asia’s World City. 

What’s in It For Your Kids:

Disneyland:

This one’s a no brainer! Disneyland Hong Kong promises a day of fun and adventure for all age groups. Embark on a magical experience into the legendary fairy tale kingdom that celebrates the spirit of fantasy and the world of tomorrow. Meet your favourite Disney characters and enjoy Broadway-style musical extravaganzas. To add to that are food courts, specialty stores for souvenirs and Disney memorabilia. That’s not all, you can also choose between two Disney-themed hotels to stay in.

If you wish to skip the long queues outside Disneyland, buy your tickets in advance and pick them up at the Central MTR (local train) Station, or a Disney Ticket booth at the park.
