1. Hong Kong Disneyland: No family trip is complete without a visit to the magical world of Disneyland. With enchanting rides, beloved characters, and captivating shows, it’s a place where dreams come true. Don’t forget to catch the spectacular fireworks display at night! This was top priority for us and we went to HKDL on our third day. 

My kids and I especially liked Land of Frozen because it is the biggest Disney animated film all three of us have enjoyed together. From all the thrilling rides, detailed setup, and attractions, this is a section of the park you should not miss. 

We actually stayed until the fireworks show was over and that in itself was a magical experience. My feet and body hurt from all the walking but seeing the fireworks light up the sky and tell stories through songs was just wonderful. Disneyland truly is the happiest place on earth!

2. Ocean Park: Combining marine life with amusement rides, Ocean Park offers a unique experience. Kids can explore the aquarium, watch thrilling animal shows, and enjoy rides that cater to all ages. The park’s stunning views of the South China Sea are an added bonus.

This place is massive! At over 915,000 square meters of land this is undoubtedly the largest theme park by area in Hong Kong. We visited this on our second day and we were so amazed by the layout and the world-class animal attractions. 

What I love about it this park is just how beautiful the view is around it, how it is dedicated to educate people and to conserve and protect the animals. The aquariums and enclosures featured animals we don't have access to see in Davao, so we were so psyched to see them there. The park also offers thrill rides but we mostly went around to see the animals, ride the cable car and train.

Sadly, we were not able to see the panda enclosure as it was not open that day.

3. Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade: This scenic waterfront is ideal for a leisurely stroll. Families can enjoy the stunning skyline views, visit the Avenue of Stars, and take part in the Symphony of Lights show, which illuminates the city at night.

We had a short visit here on our way to ride the ferry to get to the Harbourfront. The area can be crowded but the structures there as well as the view of the harbor was beautiful.

4. The Hong Kong Observation Wheel: For a bird’s-eye view of the city, hop aboard the observation wheel located at Central Harbourfront. The ride provides a fantastic perspective of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline, especially at sunset. Take note that you may have to line up to get to ride it. We decided to just enjoy the scenery and snack on the local food offerings around it. I also joined my Davao Bloggers Society at the Wine and Dine Event beside it.

Below are some of the places we could not visit because we ran out of time but they are definitely on our list of places to visit on our next vacation!

With these exciting destinations, families can create lasting memories while exploring the vibrant city of Hong Kong. I'm so happy that my girls and I had this beautiful adventure and I can't wait to go on more exciting destinations!
