During our trip to Hong Kong last month. We brought the kids to the Hong Kong Science Museum. The boys have always been fascinated by space and it’s wonders.

They have learned about the solar system, the planets and gravity and it was a great opportunity for them to learn more about our planet.

I love that there were many different exhibits there on display and most of them were interactive so that the kids were able to get some hands on experience on how rockets were launched and even learned about how Science has evolved over the years.

Arcade Fun in Hong Kong

A shot with the ever lovable Minions

The weather was scorching hot when were in Hong Kong last month. To keep away from the sun we did a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities with the kids.

One of the places which the kids really enjoyed was the arcade. The arcades there were slightly different from the ones that we have been in Singapore. There were a few mini amusement park rides which both parents and kids could go on together.

The kids on the Frog Hopper

In Singapore there were only game machines and no rides available . We can only go on such rides if there was a pasar malam (night market) being put up in the area. Even so I question the safety aspect of such rides which are available for the kids to play at these temporary night markets and will not let the kids go on them.

The boys found the ride not really thrilling as they have experienced more exciting rides at the various theme parks that they visited in Japan, Korea and Thailand. Tiger girl on the other hand was fascinated and really enjoyed herself.

Tiger girl playing bowling with the boys

It was the first time that she was able to play bowling as the had mini bowling lane for kids. The bowling ball was just nice for her hand and she was able to bowl with ease.

The kids and us spent a whole two and a half hours using up the HKD $100 credit that we allocated for them to play.

Do your kids love to go to the arcade too?
