Known as “TST” by the locals, Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon is not only a hub for entertainment and business, but family fun too. If it’s going to be your first time at this destination, here’s a sneak peek of some of the many experiences that both parents and kids can enjoy together.
Discover the Wonders of the Hong Kong Science Museum
Forget boring science lessons, because the Hong Kong Science Museum brings a whole new meaning to engaging interactive learning. Located just a five-minute walk from Park Hotel Hong Kong, it features hundreds of exhibits, many of which offer hands-on activities that bring the wonders of the natural world, science, space and technology to life. Highlights include everything from the special Children’s Gallery and the World of Mirrors to the stunning Energy Machine spanning 22 metres in height.
Explore Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade in the Day and at Night
One of the best things to do with kids in Tsim Sha Tsui is to spend time at Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade overlooking Victoria Harbour. More than just a great place for a stroll together, it’s also home to attractions like the Avenue of Stars, featuring statues and handprints of some of Hong Kong’s most beloved entertainment stars; of course, posing for a picture with the bronze statue of Bruce Lee is a must!
Those staying at Tsim Sha Tsui-based family hotels in Hong Kong, like the one mentioned above, can also easily walk to this promenade at night, in time to witness “A Symphony of Lights” at 8:00 p.m. With its stunning array of lasers and lights projected across the harbour, combined with musical effects, this show will leave the whole family in awe.
Get Hands-on at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Hong Kong
Universally loved by kids and adults across different generations, LEGO has always sparked imagination and creativity. Thus, it’s no surprise that this brand has its own themed attractions like the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Hong Kong at K11 MUSEA. Here, families have diverse themed areas to explore and play; highlights include rides such as Kingdom Quest and Merlin’s Apprentice, while kids will love hands-on fun at DUPLO FARM, LEGO Racer and more.
Journey to the Stars at Hong Kong Space Museum
If your kids are curious about the mysteries of the galaxies, then the Hong Kong Space Museum is where you should take them. It’s not just mere exhibits here, but interactive elements, lighting effects and high-tech marvels too, taking learning to an all-new celestial level. Check out its two galleries, each covering different aspects of space science and astronomy. Don’t miss a chance to also take in an OMNIMAX show at its Stanley Ho Space Theatre, which offers an immersive journey to the stars and beyond!
