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 to pat the kid (fun fact, baby goat is called “kid”). 

The full set of adventurous rope climbing equipment is kid’s favourite too. Featuring climbing wall, walkways, scramble nets etc. It’s perfect for them to fully stretch and practice their coordination, balance and agility.  

Last but not least, we never miss the standard playground which is located right next to the pony ride. I do wonder why our kids never request for the pony ride though. They do notice the ride, I saw them standing and looking. But then, they turn around and walk away. They rather run around, climbing up and down, chasing each other or playing hide and seek, than queue for the pony ride. 

So, this 3-4 areas (fish, goat, rope climbing and playground) are all we went, for over 4 hours, each of us pay an entrance fees of $50. And grab a cab out for about $60(one way) . There’s parking space and cubicle toilets right at the entrance. 

For carpark, it’s $20/hour or $80/day.

Sai Yuen - Camping Adventure Park

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience. Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too. Last weekend, we took kids glamping at Sai Yuen aka the camping adventure park. It’s an outdoor adventure playground with over 11 acres of land on Cheung Chau. They offer different themes of camping areas include the Native America Teepee, African Safari Tent, Geodesic Dome and Mongolian Ger. And of course they have plenty of space where you could just bring your own tents and tools. It’s a different experience from our usual camping at public camp site. It is private, well managed with facilities such as the cooking/ bbq areas, showers, toilets, children play area and having vending machines with snacks, drinks and even toiletries. We took the express ferry from Central Piers to Cheung Chau. Then hop...

Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too. Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories. The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...
