Hi,
Not many expats are aware that the HK government run free playrooms for toddlers in various places around Hong Kong. They are a bit sparse - not many toys - but are clean and functional, good for a rainy/hot day. And free!
For locations look on the local government website under sports and services. My nearly two year old loves them !

I phoned one up in my area and they said it was really only suitable for 4-9 year olds.

I would say that holds for the one in MOS. Perhaps even younger than that. It has a lot of soft things that kids can climb on, run over and rough-house with. This one is pretty large, but is standing room only on weekends; they issue tickets to get in when it is that crowded.
 
My son goes to the local playroom most days - he loves it. I think 4-7 is the age range if they are unaccompanied, but under that age is fine (my son is 2). Agree that it gest crowded at the weekends, and then sometimes there are bigger children so it gets a bit rough, but basically it's clean, it's fun, it's free. Perfect.
 
Hello everybody, I've recently returned to HK after 7 years. Though I'm familiar with HK I now have a 2.5 year old. I live on Robinson Road across from Robinson Place, I was wondering if anyone knows whether people other than Robinson Place residents are able to use their facilities? Perhaps at a cost? If not can anyone suggest some indoor playrooms, facilities such as swimming pools and play area within Mid Levels. I just don't have anywhere to go with him! He's a busy little boy and amazingly he's very happy to be at home but I get bored so I want to be able to do things with him. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

u could join the YWCA , Swimming is very cheap 50.00 everytime u want to swim. there is annual fee but it is very reasonable There are other activities also. we have put our 21 month old boy for Socatots once a week he loves it
 
My 7 month year old and I just checked out the playroom in the Stanley Sports Centre on Wednesday. We went right when it opened (9am opening - we arrived 9:15am) and we were one of 6 kids. At Stanley, it seems to mostly be ex-pat kids with their helpers. My son was by far the youngest, but we found it to be very clean. I would definitely go right in the morning for hygienic reasons and b/c I have heard it gets quite crowded in the afternoon.
 
Where is the exact entrance in Stanley ... I can't find it ...? I thought it was 6 Market Street, but couldn't see something that looked like it.
Thanks!
 
Thanks for reviving this thread... It has given me some new places to visit with the kids next week and check out!

I've been wondering if there were indoor playgrounds or similar anywhere in Hong Kong... so hopefully these will give us some options for relief from the heat in the outdoor parks.
