3 New Indoor Playgrounds in Hong Kong 2026 | Ganarova, Xventure, Kiztopia
If you’ve been dragging your kids to the same tired playrooms for the past two years, it’s time for an upgrade. Three brand-new indoor playgrounds have opened across Hong Kong in 2025–2026, and they’re not the same slides-and-ball-pit setups you’ve seen a hundred times. One has AI-powered missions, another has go-karts and the city’s steepest indoor slide, and a third turned an entire mall floor into a superhero universe. Here’s what you actually need to know before you go.
1. Ganarova — Hong Kong’s First AI-Themed Indoor Playground
Ganarova opened inside AEON’s Aqua Marine mall in Lai Chi Kok, and it’s doing something no other indoor playground in Hong Kong is doing: it’s making kids think they’re interstellar secret agents. From the moment they strap on a wristband at check-in, children enter the “Intergalactic Agent AI Training Camp” and complete missions across six zones using mixed-reality technology. It’s part arcade, part obstacle course, and part science class — and kids have no idea they’re learning.
Six Zones to Explore
- 4D Virtual Intergalactic Battle Zone: AR projection battles where kids team up to defeat alien monsters projected on the walls and floor
- Cosmic Energy Training Camp: An obstacle course where kids collect gems by tapping colour-coded sensors — great for burning energy
- AI Equipment Armory: AI-generated trivia quizzes about space and science; kids see their scores at the end
- Zero-Gravity Space World: Trampolines with wall-mounted sensor lights to tap while jumping — simulates weightlessness
- AI Intergalactic Arena: A large maze-like obstacle area that tests physical stamina
- Digital Fantasy Planet: The biggest zone — climbing frames, ball pit, rope nets, and a projection slide
What Parents Actually Say
The biggest surprise is how uncrowded it is on weekday mornings. Because it’s not right next to an MTR station, foot traffic stays manageable — reviewers report near-private sessions on weekday holidays. The session length (90 minutes) feels short for younger kids, but the gamified structure keeps them locked in.

2. Xventure Park — The 20,000 sqft Adventure Playground in Quarry Bay
Opened 15 May 2026 at Kornhill Plaza, Xventure Park is the largest new entry on this list and the most physically demanding. Spanning 1,800 square metres across one floor, this “sportainment hub” was first tested in Chiang Mai and brought to Hong Kong after strong regional reviews. It has nine themed zones, 26 individual challenges, and — according to Time Out Hong Kong — the city’s steepest indoor slide. Parents are allowed in too, which makes this a rare indoor playground where the whole family can play together.
9 Zones at Xventure Kornhill Plaza
- Jump Arena: Wall-to-wall trampolines
- Ninja Course: Obstacle course inspired by Japanese SASUKE
- Slide Park: Features Hong Kong’s steepest indoor slide (min. height 120cm)

- Interactive Play: Digital-augmented play zone

- Climb Zone: Climbing wall area (min. height 120cm)
Important Height Restrictions
Several zones — Slide Park, Rope Course, Zip Line, and Climb Zone — require a minimum height of 120cm. Younger or shorter children can still access Jump Arena, Challenger Arena, Interactive Play, and Go-Karts. Check with staff at entry if your child is borderline.

3. Kiztopia — The 17,000 sqft Superhero Universe at Hopewell Mall
Opened February 2025 at Hopewell Mall in Wan Chai, Kiztopia’s Wan Chai location remains Hong Kong’s largest Kiztopia outlet to date — and it’s still one of the most talked-about indoor playgrounds in the city. It spans 17,000 square feet across the mall’s dedicated kids’ floor, with 18 superhero-themed zones. The centrepiece is the upgraded Mojo Zone Mega Climbing Area featuring an eight-metre zipline. It’s primarily designed for younger children (roughly ages 2–10) and leans heavily into role-play, creativity, and physical play rather than digital tech.

Practical Tips for Your First Visit
- Book ahead on Klook for Xventure and Kiztopia — weekend slots sell out, especially for Xventure which caps daily visitors.
- Complete the Xventure waiver online before you go. It takes 5 minutes and avoids a bottleneck at the entrance.
- Bring non-slip socks for Ganarova — they’re included in the ticket, but having a spare pair handy is useful.
- Check minimum height requirements at Xventure — if your child is under 120cm, several headline zones won’t be accessible. Call ahead if unsure.
- Ganarova is genuinely quieter on weekday mornings — if you want a less crowded experience, a Tuesday or Wednesday morning session is your best bet.
- Kiztopia Wan Chai allows adults to accompany — some zones have parent-only areas if you want to watch from the sidelines.
The Bottom Line
Hong Kong’s indoor playground scene has genuinely levelled up in 2025–2026. Whether your kid wants to be a space agent hunting for gems, tackle a ninja course and race go-karts, or save the city as a superhero in training — there’s a new playground built exactly for that. All three are easy to reach by MTR, bookable online, and worth a Saturday trip. Pick one based on your child’s age and energy type, and don’t forget to check the height restrictions before you buy tickets.
