Piggy bun Dim sum at 饮茶

Dim sum at 饮茶 (yum cha) is Partnerships Manager Emily’s go-to family ritual, turning weekend mornings into a lively bonding session. Her kids can’t get enough of the piggy char siu buns and silly faced custard buns, which keep them entertained as the grown ups devour har gow and siu mai. It’s her smart hack for screen-free fun that sneaks in Cantonese culture, teaching them to tap tables for tea refills or wield chopsticks, creating those chaotic-yet-precious memories mums live for.

Water World Ocean Park Hong Kong

For Sassy Mama CEO Emilie, nothing beats a day at Water World Ocean Park Hong Kong with her kids. From the gentle wave pools to the thrilling slides, there’s something for every age. It’s also an easy, one-stop destination for play and quality time under the sun, where little ones can burn off energy while the older kids can lose themselves in the Jumbo Game Zone. It’s more than just splashy fun, think quality time amid stunning Aberdeen views, making it her go-to for family days out.

Disneyland Hong Kong

Aptly named ‘The Happiest Place on Earth’, no list of favourite kids activities would be complete without Disneyland Hong Kong. Client Engagement Manager Ira enjoys stepping into a storybook version of the city with her daughters, whose imaginations are sparked by the colourful parades and whimsical rides. A welcome break from her hectic work day juggling clients and campaigns, she enjoys the rare gift of uninterrupted, quality time with her girls, whether sharing Mickey-shaped treats, queuing for rides or watching fireworks as the ultimate feel-good tradition.

Gacha Machines at Yata and Aeon Malls

With her keen eye for trends and playful spirit, Sassy Editor Jessica’s favourite way to entertain kids is taking them to Gacha machines scattered across Hong Kong (her favourites are at Yata in Causeway Bay and Aeon malls) as they turn everyday errands into a thrilling treasure hunt. She loves watching their faces light up as they drop a coin into machines dispensing everything from kawaii plushies and quirky stickers to mini blind-box collectibles that spark endless ideas for play. It’s the perfect lowkey, budget-friendly activity that delivers on sibling bonding over trades and that addictive ‘just one more’ excitement that makes a mall trip feel like a mini adventure.

Strawberry Picking in the New Territories

Strawberry picking at Hong Kong’s lush farms in the New Territories tops Sassy Office Manager Elly’s list of family outings, as it transforms a simple afternoon into a hands-on sensory adventure her son adores. As a mum who thrives on organisation, she cherishes the calm that accompanies wandering rows of ripe, ruby-red berries, letting little hands pluck their own treasures while learning where food comes from. It’s pure magic watching their delight in filling baskets, tasting sun-warmed sweetness straight off the vine, and turning the haul into homemade jam or treats at home.

Ride a Ding Ding around the city

Sassy Partnerships Manager Emily favours riding the iconic Ding Ding with her kids as it offers a slow, nostalgic joyride through Hong Kong’s vibrant heart without the usual rush. She loves the simple thrill of hopping on for pennies, windows down, waving at passersby while spotting street food stalls, neon signs and everyday Hong Kong magic unfolding like a live storyboard. Her kids giggle over the bell’s ding, press their noses to the glass for skyline views and chat about the day’s adventures, turning a quick trip into treasured memories that feel worlds away from the MTR mayhem.

Hong Kong Rugby Sevens — a rite of passage

The highlight for Sassy Mama CEO Emilie’s daughter is hands down the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens for the electric buzz of South Stand chants, costumes and global teams that turn her into a superfan every year. For young adults, it’s pure adrenaline — cheering wild tries, dancing to live bands between matches and soaking up the three-day party vibe. As a rite of passage for Hong Kong teens, it marks the shift from playground games to big-kid independence: first solo outings with friends, navigating packed streets in fancy dress, bonding over drinks (over 18s of course) and embracing the city’s multicultural spirit in an unforgettable weekend of sport, spectacle and stories to tell for years.

Halloween in Hong Kong

When Sassy Mama Client Engagement Manager Ira asked her daughters to choose her highlight for 2025, it was a no-brainer — Halloween. She loves spooky season in Hong Kong as the city is transformed into a playground of tricks, treats and thrills for the little ones. From hauntingly fun events at K11 Musea and Harbour City — complete with pumpkin patches, fancy dress parades, trick-or-treat and family-friendly haunts at Disneyland, it’s a sensory explosion of costumes and candy hauls that outshines other holidays. Ira’s creative girls loves dreaming up outfits and plotting house-decorating schemes to unleash their imagination.

Camping at Lake Valley

Sassy Editor Jessica’s top recommendation for a family escape with kids is camping at Lake Valley in the serene New Territories, where crisp air and glassy lake views offer a rare unplug from city chaos into pure, starry-night wonder. Thin pitching tents by the water’s edge, roasting marshmallows over a crackling fire while little ones chase fireflies or splash in shallow shores. It’s the ultimate low-fi bonding ritual via hiking easy trails by day, sharing ghost stories under canvas and waking to birdsong. Plus, we love that post-camp glow.

Retail therapy at any Sanrio Store

From the candy-coloured Causeway Bay haven to the playful Harbour City pop-up, shopping at the city’s Sanrio stores is Sassy Editor Jessica’s favourite outing with kids because it unleashes a whirlwind of kawaii magic. They will love exploring aisles bursting with Hello Kitty plushies, My Melody stationery and limited-edition Kuromi trinkets to add to their collection back home. It’s the ideal low-stakes thrill for busy mums — this quick, joyful pit stop will elicit squeals over blind bags and custom keychains, turning errands into a ritual of giggles and glittery loot.
