Due to the current health precautions, some attractions, facilities, restaurants and services may have special arrangements and operating hours in place. Before you visit, please check their respective websites. Find the latest updates, including health tips, on the Hong Kong Government's website.

The holiday season is a time for connecting with family and this year is no different, we just need to make sure to stay safe as we connect. Whether it's bonding over a festive feast, enjoying fun games, activities and events, or exploring this magnetic city and its magical light shows — spending time as a family is one of life's greatest joys. From tots to teens, and even grown-ups, everyone can join in on the festivities when it's safe to do so, and make unforgettable memories together. Head to the southern tip of Kowloon to experience the city’s most iconic landmarks and indulge in the culinary and cultural arts, all in one day. For a more action-packed and local affair, check out the area of Kowloon Bay for a day of festivities, entertainment and fun.

Family-friendly activities in the south of Kowloon

Visit Hong Kong's most iconic landmarks, and make stops for festive food, fun and spectacular viewpoints of the city.

Donut Playhouse & Donut Café

Have a lazy morning and then kick-off the festivities with fun activities at one of the best indoor educational entertainment zones in Kowloon. Spend a holly, jolly good time with the kids as they hop around Donut Playhouse in K11 Musea and join them in 20-minute play sessions (HK$130 ticket allows entry for one adult and one child) on the Happy Mega Slide and Donut Golf Club. After the fun and games, take a well-deserved break at Donut Café, which offers an array of colourful snacks and beverages to enjoy, such as hot paninis, hot dogs, milkshakes and of course, cute and cheerful doughnuts, along with an AR (augmented reality) game to explore too. In the afternoon, get into the holiday spirit with Maker Workshops to create some unique DIY decorations for the season. There's even a souvenir zone to purchase keepsakes to take home too.

Inspired by Europe's bustling plazas, the spacious restaurant is the perfect setting for the whole family this winter season as it offers an extensive array of delectable food and drinks. From large plates of flavourful paella, an abundance of hot tapas and fresh seafood to rich and belly-warming pasta and sandwiches, indulgent festive desserts and so much more — there really is something for everyone to devour.

Get into the Christmas spirit and wander along Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade after dinner, as well as Alfresco Lane, and discover a total of eleven spots — all themed 'Share Love, Share Joy' — with sparkling lights sprawled across the buildings and high above the streets. Take in the moment, but don't forget to also take snapshots with the family to make the holiday memories last.

 

Address:    66-68 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

‘A Symphony of Lights’ and Avenue of Stars

As you continue along, you’ll approach the revamped Avenue of Stars where you can take in Hong Kong's iconic skyline, illuminated by the stunning ‘A Symphony of Lights’, the multimedia light and music show every night at 8pm. Snuggle up, take in the views and rhythmic sounds, and enjoy this eye-catching spectacle that dances across more than 40 different buildings and attractions in the city. A new element added to the Avenue of Stars is the Water of Stars. Coordinating with ‘A Symphony of Lights’, this musical water fountain show brings sound, water and lighting effects together for a colourful performance to celebrate the season.

 

Remarks: The show is now under a trial run; please visit the Avenue of Stars website for details.

There are also 46 different dining outlets within the mall, so you can grab a bite to eat with the family including anything from casual but comforting Western-Japanese food at L.D.K. by Ufufu Café or more elaborate Chinese cuisine at Lei Garden, to more international and modern flavours at Mr Steak or bubbling hotpot at Taiwan Bussan restaurant.

Kwun Tong Promenade

As the day comes to an end, take an easy nine-minute walk to the urban waterfront park of Kwun Tong Promenade and wind down the day. Discover a towering steel sculpture that honours the former recycling depot that it once was. Eat early or bring takeaway to relax together and view the beautiful glow and colours of a winter sunset with the family. After sunset, watch as the sculpture lights up and mists of water are emitted from the ground, interacting with the changing, flashing light, creating a surreal and delightful atmosphere. A happy holiday indeed.
