Things to know
Expect queues at peak
Tickets are for a morning, afternoon or Friday night session, and popular stations can have queues and time limits at busy times. Keep a little patience in the bag for the favourites.
Under 7s go free
Children 6 and under do not need a ticket, and kids aged 7 to 11 pay HK$100. The combo sets cost HK$250 for one adult and one child, or HK$400 for two adults and one child.
Free Sunday family drop-ins
On the last two Sundays of each month from October to December, drop in for free drawing and 20-minute story sessions in Cantonese or English. No booking needed.
Bring the stroller
Strollers are welcome inside and free ones can be borrowed. Backpacks must be worn on the front, so a small bag is easier.
