It’s going to be a super hot and partially rainy weekend! If you're back in Hong Kong after a long summer break with the kids becoming restless and eager to get outside, why not try something different. The first thing that pops in to your mind is going to the beach or the pool, however with weather like this how about a trip to the museum?
There are amazing exhibitions at the Hong Kong Science museum and great deals at Hong Kong Maritime museum running right throughout the school holidays.
There’s good reason why schools take children on day trips to museums. They are not only educational and fun but your child is allowed to interact freely and take ownership of their personal learning adventure. So, why not share it with the whole family?
Some of the best museums in Hong Kong are located in areas you may not have visited before and travelling there means ‘getting off the beaten track’ and using a variety of different transport options.
Special exhibits include a large collection of ‘Bruce Lee Kung Fu Art Life’ memorabilia, a ‘Children’s Discovery Gallery’ with 8 interactive learning zones for children aged 4- 10 years, and various exquisite Chinese art gallery collections. Limited car parking spaces available so your best option is to catch the MTR to Sha Tin.
Located in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), Kowloon, is within walking distance from TST, Jordon, Hung Hom or East TST MTR stations. The museum features 8 galleries over two floors detailing the ‘Hong Kong story’ featuring the natural environment, folk culture, and historical development.
Located in TST and within walking distance from MTR stations this compact museum features an outdoors ‘Astropark’, exciting astronomical shows viewed in the Stanley Ho Space Theatre, and special family tours and lectures.
Located in TST and within walking distance from the MTR stations is a top pick to entertain and amuse the family. There’s a whole new world to explore and interact; get lost in the world of mirrors, learn about light, motion and sound, be amazed by how the world communicates, and let your little ones’ build, build, build to their heart’s content in the Children’s Gallery. The current highlight is The "Above and Beyond" special exhibition offering an unprecedented interactive demonstration of advances in aviation and aerospace, from the first powered flights to the newest innovations on Earth and in space. Runs until the 15th of October 2018.
Centrally located at Central Ferry Pier no.8 and within walking distance from both the MTR, bus and tram routes the Maritime Museum has dynamic special exhibitions, galleries, multi-media art collections, family tours, workshops, courses and an events gallery.
