With the oppressive heat of its jam packed streets, Hong Kong might at first not seem to be an easy prospect as a destination for traveling with kids, but a careful, second look will tell you otherwise. With the myriad of kid-friendly events and places that the city has to offer, you'll actually find out that the thing that you may need to fully enjoy a Hong Kong tour package with your kids is more time to fit in all the activities, events, and destinations that are available in this bustling metropolis.

As a general backgrounder of the possibilities that Hong Kong has to offer to families on vacation, here are 3 of the hottest attractions that will surely make your kids remember a Hong Kong tour for the rest of their lives:
Hong Kong Ocean Park
Hong Kong Ocean Park is indeed a kiddie theme park, but with it might as well unleash the kid in you. At any rate, it would be worth it, being the kid you once were and enjoying big moments with your own kids. Revel in spectacular views, gut-wrenching rides, and magical animals.

Marine creatures include sharks, jellyfish, dolphins, and many other fishes. Dolphin shows and Jellyfish exhibition will surely make the day for you and your kids. Those who want an up-close interaction with the dolphins can so arrange for it. In addition, adorable pandas are also available to add extra fun to your park adventure.
Thrill is never ending for those who want it, too. The Abyss ride will propel you at a height of 62 meters (an equivalent of about 20 stories) up skyward, where you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the magnificent South China Sea. On the other hand, The Dragon is a roller coaster that boasts of three loops and corkscrew turns.
Hong Kong Disneyland
The second of the city's theme parks, Hong Kong disneyland is relatively accessible and boasts not only of kiddie fun but also good accommodations in the form of high quality hotels. The park's attractions, however, mainly focus on kids from 5 to 9 years old. Older kids, however, may try the Space Mountain.
Disneyland, Hong Kong |
Attractions include Mystic Point, Grizzly Gulch, Toy Story Land, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Adventureland. Hotels include Disneyland Hotel and Hollywood Hotel. Hotel dining and character dining are also available, as well as Disney meetings and team building. For those who want to start family life in a magical setting, a variety of Disney Fairy Tale Wedding package is also available.
The Symphony of Lights
Dazzle both your kids and yourself with the "Symphony of Lights", a 15-minute long laser and sound show that puts Hong Kong's skyscrapers and buildings in a flash and makes them like an array of dazzling glitter balls. You can see the show either at the Kowloon waterfront, or through the "Symphony of Lights Cruise", which gives onlookers the best view of the show and the city.
