The way we enjoy Tai Tong Ecopark 大棠有機生態園

I’ve been reading complaints on Tai Tong Organic Ecopark. Many thought it’s expensive, charging for parking space, environment is unpleasant and rides not available. Well, let me share how my kids and a couple of their friends, spent more than 4 hours at the park with $300 (for 2 adults and 4 kids). Our kids are happy to see the animals (ostrich, emu, pigs, peafowls, goats, turkeys) and feeding the fishes (mostly koi fish, occasionally the black swan) at the pond. We didn’t spend any $$ on feeding the fish / black swan/ goats. Why? 1. Our kids pick up the pellets from the ground (where everyone else didn’t bother to pick them up after spilling it), they gather the food pellets and feed the fishes. 2. The pick the leaves from unwanted branches (those that’s sawed down and left aside) to feed the goats. You’d be surprise how much fish food they’ve picked and feed. They spent an hour or 2 picking and feeding. Although it’s harder to pick leaves for the goats, they’d satisfied to be able ...

Hiking : Tsuen Wan to Sha Tin

Even though we enjoying having friends around, we always make times for just the four of us. And we love hiking as a family. It is a bonding experience and allow us to exercise together. Hiking motivates kids to be active and teaches them to appreciate the nature. Family hike is usually on a Sunday. We started at Tsuen Wan’s Shing Mun Country Park. Once arrived at the starting point, turn right and continue walking on paved road (watch out for cars), it’s anti-clockwise along the reservoir. Walk along Wilson-trail sec 7, the reservoir is on your left, until you reach a T point where your left is a bridge. Take the stairs on your right towards the paved road, then turn left to continue walking. You will be crossing a bridge, and it marks the beginning of a more challenging hike. From the bridge, it’s mostly slopes, all the way towards the other hills to Shatin. After the first slope at a junction, there the only cubicle toilets. I suggest to take a break. There’s a signboard, continue...

Legoland Discovery Centre

  LEGO indoor playground is coming to town ! The 30000sqf indoor fun is opening in March at the basement of K11 Musea. K and D were super excited about it. From the posters along the way, we are expecting lots of family fun ride and play zones. And boy we are not disappointed Besides the fun rides, there’s Lego friends and vehicles build & play zone, workshops, 4D cinemas with Lego-related short films, coffee shop for parents to grab a cuppa etc. At entrance, after temperatures checking, form filling and sanitizing , remember to get the photo card. Scan the barcodes for free touristy pictures to be downloaded via my magic photos. The Merlin’s apprentice ride is like “dumbo” at the dreamy theme park; you pedal the cart in order to go up while it’s goes around. K and D are both over 110cm but they couldn’t reach to pedal, so the workout is on the adult sitting next to them ! Then, they spent most of their time at the 2 build and playzone. Lego Friends are definitely a girl thin...
