What Dads Really Want For Father’s Day 2026

Father’s Day is coming this June. Ahead of that, we asked Hong Kong fathers what they actually want for Father’s Day. So skip the guesswork and check out their (real) wish-lists!

We asked a few Hong Kong dads what they actually want instead of coming up with a generic list of ties and coffee mugs. What came back was a mix of wit, warmth and honesty. Here’s what they said and how you can make it happen!

Indulge in dad’s inner child at GO PARK Aqua, Sai Sha

GO PARK Aqua in Sai Sha has just unveiled a major upgrade, making it Hong Kong’s most exciting new water adventure destination — and frankly, one of the best excuses to act like a child that the city has to offer. Dads and kids can try their hand at water sports like kayaking and generally splash around. The whole family can enjoy a day-out by joining the eco-discovery water journeys, that cover mangrove tours and island-hopping tours through hidden islets and historic fishing villages.

Bond with dad over his favourite game at the FIFA Museum, Causeway Bay

The FIFA Museum, which opened in Causeway Bay in May, is a full-scale, six-month immersive exhibition that any football-loving dad will genuinely love — no pretending required. Visitors can get up close to replicas of the FIFA World Cup and Women’s World Cup trophies and explore iconic match balls and legendary player jerseys. Why not turn it into a friendly dad-vs-kid showdown at the penalty shoot-out and goalkeeper challenges?

Spoil dad with a bit of “me time” at The Ritz-Carlton Spa

For the dad who has patiently absorbed a relentless soundtrack of Cocomelon, KPop Demon Hunters and Peppa Pig on repeat without complaint, he has more than earned some proper “me time”. The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong’s A Moment For Dad Father’s Day package is exactly that kind of a treat that fathers deserve. It includes a 90-minute deep tissue massage, a complimentary hot stone relief enhancement during the treatment and a complimentary glass of selected champagne (Mamas, tell him he doesn’t have to rush back).
