10/11 year old boy activities

have a 10/11 yr old boy comig to stay with his parents - what is good to do with that age in HK?

thanks!

Skate board park near the race course in happy valley.

Swimming and hanging out at the beach if he can find some others to kick a ball with

The cable car ride on Lantau and big buddha.

Lunch over at Pui O at Ooh La La restaurant and see if you can get water activities through Treasure Island people - they even organise overnight camping.

Go out to Tai Po and hire bicycles.

He should also enjoy dim sum, the markets and perhaps a visit to the computer centre in wanchai to stock up on ps/2 xbox games if he is into that sort of thing...pm me for the address.

There is a book called Hong Kong for Kids by Stephanie Miller-Palmer (??) mine is with someone else - you can get at any bookstore and is probably worth getting and letting him read it. Handy as it will have all the directions.

thanks - great ideas

hi qwerty123.


suggest skipping disneyland as a bit young but ocean park is a definite yes. there r some great walks in hk eg ferry to yung shue wan on lamma, 1 hour walk over the mountains to sok kwu wan followed by a nice seafood lunch. there is a football pitch in both villages so make sure the boy takes a football (sure to find likeminded bods there too).


try temp membership at one of the clubs i.e yacht club / aberdeen boat club which should have sailing courses for juniors.


combine shopping in taikoo or festival walk with a spot of ice-skating.


check out hk magazine to see what fairs/events are on


have fun :-)
