Indoor Playrooms And Playgrounds

From soft play and role play for toddlers to climbing walls, trampolines and adventure zones for older kids, Hong Kong’s indoor playrooms offer rainy day fun for every age.

Our picks by age? Baumhaus offers a calm treehouse play space for babies and toddlers, while Playroo’s imaginative role-play zones are designed for children under 6. Kiztopia provides plenty of active and themed play for primary-school children, and Super Sports Park is a stronger choice for tweens and teens who have outgrown traditional soft play.

Museums In Hong Kong For Kids

The Hong Kong Science Museum and Space Museum are rainy day favourites, but there are plenty of less obvious options too. Take in the views (in between storms) from the easily accessible Hong Kong Monetary Authority Information Centre high up in ifc, explore culture and history at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin or seek out one of the city’s smaller, more offbeat museums.

Make a meal of your rainy day plans at a family-friendly café or restaurant with space to play — Baumhaus earns another mention for its barista coffee and MeokBang BBQ Kidzone keeps children entertained as parents eat.

Creative Workshops And Cooking Classes

Get creative at a Spin Art session at The Orbit by Aura Art, or gather a group of five or more and book a private neon painting workshop at Sketch Studios.
