afternoon activities for 2 year old

Posted by vlr 18 yrs ago
I have a two year old who is very active and goes *crazy* when he's in the house for too long. We take him to the playground in the morning and usually to the playground again in the afternoon (we're in Happy Valley, so he has the option of indoor, outdoor and race track).


I'm looking to spice things up a bit. Any ideas for fun, 2-3 hour outtings? Nothing overboard like Ocean Park, but more like the Botanical Gardens or the Aviary at Hong Kong Park.

Get yourself "Hong Kong for Kids" book. I picked mine up at Dymocks. It has a tonne of stuff in there for what to do, even for the littlies. There is Kadoorie Farm in New Territories, which is supposed to be great. My daughter went ther for a school excursion and she loved it.


You could also put him in a class at Kids Gallery, like painting or something. The classes usually go for a couple of hours, so enough time to have him get nice and tired ready for a big sleep.

Short hikes are great. Like an hour or so. Make sure you call it an "adventure". In 2-3 hours you can take the Peak Tram, have a good (flat) hike around there, and go back down.


You can go to a shopping center or explore the walkways in Central/Admiralty. You can go to the SPCA in Wan Chai and visit the dogs.

Agree, Socatots is excellent. They definitely have sessions for 2 year olds at the Football Club.

One of the great things about HK for kids is how small distances are -- In a couple of hours, you can actually get out quite far and get a lot done! Here are some short afternoon activities I like to do with my 2 YO:


1) Feed the fish up at Tai Tam Reservoir;

2) Take a trip on a tram;

3) One activity at Ocean Park (e.g. see the pandas one day, kids adventureland another, atoll reed another day;

4) Go for an afternoon swim;

5) A couple of hours on the beach playing in the sand;

6) Gymboree free play.


Have fun!
