The Top 12 Public Swimming Pools In Hong Kong For Kids And Families

Make a splash this summer at one of our favourite public swimming pools in Hong Kong! With water slides, fountains, splash buckets and more, there are so many affordable public pools to cool off!

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 go free.

Sassy Mama Tips:

• Water-loving families can look into the monthly passes. These 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 worth calling ahead to check if the facilities you want to use are open. Phone numbers for each pool are included in the listings below.
