The day of the wedding we wanted to tire the kids out so they would ideally have a nap and have energy for the wedding... it didn't happen. Isaac napped for only an hour and Chloe stayed up from 9am - 12:45am the next morning. There seems to be no off switch on these kids. Here's what we did though.
HK Science Museum (3.5 of 5)
Unlike the rotty HK Space museum we saw, this is a state of the art place that will keep the kids occupied for hours. It was extremely interactive and the place was so big in fact that we didn't have enough time to go through it all while the kids kept on calling for more. The kids favourite was the hall of mirrors where they have neat gimmicky tricks using reflection. One of the more impressive structures though was a three story high marble machine - except they use bowling balls instead. Total cost: 25 HKD for the family... which works out to a little over $3 CDN. Yes you read that right. I believe the new Telus World of Science in Calgary is $25 CDN/person!
HK History Museum (4 of 5)
This museum is attached to the Science Museum, and I didn't know what to expect when coming here - but we've never seen anything like it in Asia. It displays the full history of the Hong Kong area from the dinosaur age, to first settlement, pre-occupation, opium wars, and to modernization. The displays were all first rate and really gave you a feel for what it was like back in the day. Total cost: Again a mere 25 HKD.
