Newly opened in December 2017, SuperPark Hong Kong is one of the better indoor playgrounds in Hong Kong and is nearly a must-visit if you’re looking for something to do with Kids in Hong Kong. SuperPark Hong Kong is located in SilverSea, a residential development near Olympian City 1. To get to Superpark Hong Kong, take the MTR to Olympian City, a taxi or if you’re driving, park at Olympian City 1 and walk about 5-7 minutes. Full directions can be found here.
SuperPark Hong Kong is originally from Finland and has other branches in the Baltics, Sweden, France and China. Once the word gets out on this, I think it’ll be one of the more popular places to take kids in Hong Kong. The place is massive for Hong Kong standards, and overall very well done. It’s not too far from HK Island and being on Kowloon side I reckon they might have the location right too.
Being new, the facilities at SuperPark Hong Kong are still in good condition, as of this writing, and there’s a number of different things to do. First up, they’ve got the usual tunnel/fort thing, a nice little touch is you press a button and you have to run around the fort tapping on the animals. It’s a little thing, but makes quite a big difference and gives the little ones something to do if they’re by themselves and if you happen to be a massive Gweilo and not fit inside the fort, you’ll appreciate this even more.
The Flying fox at SuperPark Hong Kong is short but younger ones will like it and it’s safe enough. Probably not something I’d wait any amount of time for, but if you go there mornings, you shouldn’t have to wait more than a minute for any of the things to do at SuperPark Hong Kong. Next to the Flying fox is a cart track. Kids can ride around on pedal powered vehicles and they’ve got bigger ones that Mum’s and Dad’s can ride on. Apparently you only get 2 laps so racing around as fast as you can like we did is not recommended as your time will be limited to about 1 minute.
SuperBall is Super fun, throw balls into goals on the wall. It’s probably better played in teams but if you’re just by yourself as we were, it’s still good fun. The only downside, as with quite a few things there, is that the time allowed is only 1 minute. If there’s nobody waiting around, you can stay longer, so it’s no big deal if you go there when there’s not many people.
Nest to SuperBall is some bowling type thing, roll/throw the balls up a small ramp and try and get into holes. Next to that is a basketball game that’s similar. And next to that is a little soccer game. Again, similar concept and quite fun. There’s baseball and golf, but you have to be over 1.4m for that so we couldn’t try it out. There’s also a couple of little dance platforms in the area.
On the other side is a couple of slides, a tube slide, which is alright, but a bit short to be really great fun. You’ll also find a small gymnastic-type lane. And near that you’ll see a skateboard and scooter park with some small ramps. Check out the Dad’s thinking they’re Tony Hawk, and that’s almost worth going just for that entertainment factor. Then you have some trampolines, smaller kids can use smaller ones.
The staff at SuperPark Hong Kong are surprisingly excellent – polite, professional and speak good English. They’re not too strict and I found them the most friendly out of any kids venue in Hong Kong I’ve been to, and I’ve been to pretty much all of them. I hope they keep that up as if they were miserable fun police like most of Hong Kong’s supposed kids venues are, I probably wouldn’t go back.
We went on a Saturday morning around 915a.m, just after opening and there weren’t many people there. They call it Morning Madness or something like that, but it was far from it. Cost $180 per person, so not cheap, but not a rip off. You can stay until round 1p.m. Probably my only complaint would be the length of time on the activities. It didn’t really affect us because there weren’t many people there but most of the activities are limited to around 1 minute, which I guess is an effort to keep the queue’s and waits short.
I can imagine this being a bit different if it was packed but according to one of the staff I had a chat to, afternoon’s in the weekend’s are busiest. As with most things like this, go there early to avoid the crowds. SuperPark Hong Kong opens at 10 weekdays and 9a.m weekends and holidays. They’ve got free lockers there, just use your wrist band that they’ll give you when checking in. You need socks, but if you don’t have any or forget them, you can buy them there.
Overall, SuperPark Hong Kong was a pleasant experience, something which can’t be said about a lot of Hong Kong’s kids attractions. Probably not something you’d do every weekend, but I’d be happy to go back once every few months. There’s a Cali-Mex restaurant inside the venue, the food is super fast, but not great, probably wouldn’t eat there again.
