I love the Christmas decorations across Hong Kong, every shopping mall tries to outdo the others - and this time one of my and my children's favourites is the Exquisite Christmas exhibition at Hong Kong Times Square. It is free of charge, runs from 10am to 10pm until January 1, 2019 and is a beautiful… Continue reading Exquisite Christmas miniatures at Times Square
Two words: Outdoor playground. It should be so easy, but unfortunately it is not that easy here in Hong Kong. There are not many places that you can let your kids explore the surroundings and just play at a playground that is flexible, lets them independently choose what they do and learn to take/manage risks.… Continue reading Hong Kong Forest Adventures
We've been to Mui Wo several times in the past, but we've never been to Ark Eden. This is an outdoor camp, in the mountains of Lantau. Actually, not sure if I should call it a camp - it is much more than that. The team running it does much more than taking out city… Continue reading Ark Eden in Mui Wo
Yes, this is a second-hand store - but what a cool one! Greenladies and Greenlittle is a store on the first floor in the CC Wu Building in Wan Chai and is part of the St. James' Settlement. It is the first Greenladies shop that includes a second hand section for little ones, and it has lots of… Continue reading Second hand clothes: Greenladies and Greenlittle
City Gallery is an exhibition centre about the planning and development of Hong Kong. It is located at Edinburgh Place in Central - and I only stumbled upon it by sheer luck. We went to see a photography exhibition at the City Hall and that's when we noticed the City Gallery next door. It is… Continue reading City Gallery Museum
While visiting Fun Zone in North Point, we noticed the signage for the Children's Discovery Museum. At that moment, the Children's Discovery Museum was not open, but it will open its doors on September 19, 2018. The tickets are 90HKD (weekdays) / 110HKD (weekends/public holidays) for kids up to 12 years and 60HKD (weekdays) / 70HKD… Continue reading Children’s Discovery Museum
We're looking for plenty of indoor play opportunities, now that it is rainy season and so hot/humid here in Hong Kong. That's why we gave Fun Zone in North Point a try. This is one of the smaller play rooms, and it has been established for a while. It is on Marble Road 33 in… Continue reading Fun Zone Island East Playroom
It is so hard to find a daycare place in Hong Kong – but I was very lucky: Lina attended MASS International in 2016/2017. This is an international kindergarten in Tai Hang, which focuses on English and Mandarin, and it looks after children from a very young age: from about 8 weeks old (yes this… Continue reading Pre-nursery / Daycare: Mass International
Probably everyone knows of or has been to Repulse Bay Beach - but what many people don't know is that there are two quieter beaches close by. One is Middle Bay Beach and the other one is South Bay Beach. What I like about these beaches is that they are much quieter, the water is… Continue reading Urban getaway: South Bay Beach
This is quite fun for kids - you get to ride on a special Star Ferry (the 'Shining Star') across the Harbour for about an hour. You can side inside in the cool a/c room or outside at the front or back, and watch Hong Kong Island and Kowloon go past you. We're great fans… Continue reading Star Ferry Harbour Tour
