The boat ride is short and sweet but unique. I think most shopping mall play areas do not have a boat ride. For each child to ride the boat, parent supervision is required. There was a line during our visit and our wait was approximately 20 minutes. The ride itself is probably two minutes long but the kids enjoyed it and saw different characters along the way. The whole play area seems a bit dated and could use a refresh.

This park has basketball courts, public exercising equipment, fountains, large spaces where people can gather to do morning exercises, and a big lot where it hosts a lot of shows.

Once again, I do sort of wonder how long this park will retain its name, though the suggestion is…read morethat maybe it will change in about thirty years time, that is in 2050 when apparently Hong Kong's automomous status will be reassessed. However, this park is basically the park where you will find one of those ubiquitous objects that are scattered all across the former British Empire, and that is the statue of Queen Victoria. Once again, I'm not entirely sure how long this statue will remain since I suspect that there will be a time when places will want to move on from their past.

I love coming to the swimming pool at the SCAA on weekday mornings! It costs HK$28 per entry to the…read morepool, which is a little bit more than the public swimming pools, but it's worth it (this is an extra fee on top of the SCAA membership fee). The water is just so much cleaner than the Victoria Park swimming, the locker room is much bigger and less cramped. You do need to bring your own amenities: towel, shampoo/conditioner/soap, and a lock for the locker, but it's quite easy to manage. If you want to do lap swimming, there are specific lanes for it - look for "circle lap swimming" yellow signs.

I never realized the value of having a sports club sponsor a rugby team up until recently.

Hong Kong Football club and a few other teams have their own fancy clubs. Some how we managed to get the SCAA on board and since then I've discovered things about the place I would have never imagined. It has a huge range of facilities, including bowling as well as the other more boring sports like badminton... or squash. There are also a couple of restaurants within the complex that cater to different preferences in terms of cuisine and cash flow. Most of the time I go there (with my team) to eat in their new Inside Out restaurant, a simple place that serves great burgers, lots of beer, and has one sports or another playing on big screens. It was obviously designed to support sports teams as it's partitioned off from the rest of the floor, which happens to be a DIY barbecue. It's certainly better off that way, for safety reasons, considering the amount of alcohol consumed during the meal. And there was me, walking by the place twice a week thinking why on earth would people want to join that place just for a driving ranger?! It turns out there is a lot more than meets the eye and still more for me to experience. It's a great place to go with a group of friends for a list of occasions - drinking games while golfing, a hardcore gym workout, or just a meal with the family, it's got it all.

I grew up attending this club and still love spending time there. Although I no longer play a…read moresport, it's a great place to socialise, especially if you're as much of a rugby fan as I am. During the season (September to April) I love to sit outside the casual Sportman's Bar watching the matches. You have to be with a member in order to visit and they will have to pay for any food/drinks consumes via their membership card - cash is not accepted. As it's a membership based club, the prices are subsidised so you can eat and drink very well for a very reasonable price. There are a number of dining options from casual cafe settings to the buffet spread at the poolside Coffee Shop. There is even a small shop in the lobby and you can order meat through the Coffee Shop. I visit the club once a week to play early morning tennis. The courts are on the roof top and are of a pretty good standard, although the middle courts don't have much side room. The extractor fans that face courts 1-3 make is tricky to hear so courts 4-6 are the best choice. There is a vending machine that serves soft drinks and a water cooler inside. As well as tennis, the club has squash, basketball and netball courts plus a gym, pool and a golf simulator. The bowling alley is a hoot whilst kids will enjoy the indoor playground complete with ball pit. Make sure you silence your phone before entering the club or you/the member you are with will get hefty $500 fine. Bar the phone rule, the club is extremely relaxed. A great place to spend time, especially for those with families.

The government closed the zoo to make room for residential growth and to build high rises. Now the highrises that butt up to this park look relatively new, so this would most likely explain how there was land for such a giant public park. He thinks this space was where the zoo once was. Regardles, the park is a great outdoor space for the residents and visitors to this area. It has everything....skatepark, roller skating rink, gateball courts, jogging tracks, soccer pitchs, elderly fitness center, play equipment, fitness stations, tennis courts and an amphitheatre. It also houses the Lingnan Garden, featuring courtyards, winding corridors, structures with traditional Lingnan designs, sculptures and bonsai trees. I read that 20% of the total area of the Lingnan Garden is dedicated to ponds and water features. A great outdoor space and understandably one of the most popular public parks in Hong Kong.

Located inside Lai Chi Kok Park, there are other facilities nearby that would be useful for anyone that visits the park; such as Toilets & changing rooms with showers; they even have lockers in the changing room ( just ask the office situated next to the changing rooms for a locker key) - having a refreshing shower after a session on a summer day is one of the best features of this park. Water fountains near the entrance of the skatepark & also near the changing rooms & vending machines right next to the skatepark keep you hydrated. Many restaurants & convenience stores/supermarkets in near by Mei Foo estate as well. The park has security there for access control, if you need help please don't hesitate to call on them.

You will not miss this if you are strolling along Tuen Mun Park. Its awkward looking façade that…read moreresembles a giant rock lying in the middle of the park is in fact one of the most major vantage point in the park - the Reptile House. First opened in 1999, it has drawn lots of visitors, especially it is surrounded quite a lot of schools nearby so it has become one of those popular school outings every once a year. It exhibits various reptilian species. (For me, I am not a huge fan of reptiles, to be honest, their scales give me goose bumps; however, I did go in there a lot because of the air-cons and it is still free admission.) As a matter of that, it houses lots of endangered reptiles species and some you cannot even see in Ocean Park! Once you walk it, you can check out the Star Tortoise on your left (which actually looks very much like the façade of this place), they move very slowly and most of them you cannot even tell if they are alive... anyways, they have several display windows showcasing chameleon, iguana, and even python... Apart from the indoor part, it also has a courtyard terrarium where you can see butterflies and all kinds of reptiles. Although this place is not super spacious but it certainly is a very nice place for children. If you are looking for a rather informative day enjoying the natural living of the interesting reptiles, come here and they have professional staff to give you a tour as well.
