Hong Kong New Indoor Playgrounds 2026: 7 Hidden Gems for Kids
July in Hong Kong means humidity that sticks to your skin and afternoons where the pavement radiates heat. For parents of toddlers and primary-schoolers, an air-conditioned indoor playground is no longer a luxury — it is survival. The good news: between mid-2025 and the first half of 2026, more than half a dozen new (or freshly relocated) indoor playgrounds opened across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. Most have flown under the radar because they are tucked inside newly opened malls or sports complexes.
This guide focuses on the ones that actually opened or relocated in the past 12 months, the ones other parenting round-ups have not yet caught up with. Every entry below has been verified for current address, MTR exit, opening hours and price as of July 2026.
Why these new spots are worth a detour
The classic Hong Kong playhouse — a few plastic slides and a small ball pit wedged between a F&B court and a bank — is slowly being replaced by larger, themed venues that borrow concepts from Singapore, Japan and Korea. The new generation offers higher ceilings (proper slides of 8 metres or more), more padded floors for crawlers, and air-con strong enough to survive a 33-degree day. A handful also bundle a STEM corner, a climbing wall, or a ‘Hong Kong theme’ role-play area, which makes them feel less like a holding pen and more like a destination.
If you have already done the usual suspects (LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, Ryze, Kiztopia at Marina Square), the seven venues below are the next tier.
1. Kiztopia @ Hopewell Mall, Wan Chai — HK Island’s first flagship
This is the one most Hong Kong Island parents have been waiting for. Kiztopia, the Singapore-born indoor playground brand, finally opened a 17,000 sq ft flagship on Wan Chai’s Hopewell Mall in 2025. It is the brand’s first outlet on the Island and noticeably larger than its Tseung Kwan O sister venue.
The space is themed around superheroes rather than the usual pastel kitchens. Highlights include an 8-metre upgrade to the Mojo Zone mega-climb, an 8-metre aerial flying fox, a near-1,000 sq ft magnetic-block construction zone, and the signature role-play stations (fire station, supermarket, vet clinic) that Kiztopia is known for.

2. Bouncetopia by Kiztopia @ Kai Tak AIRSIDE
Also new in 2025 and easy to confuse with the Wan Chai venue, Bouncetopia is a separate concept under the Kiztopia umbrella: a one-piece inflatable trampoline castle designed for younger kids. The Kai Tak AIRSIDE branch is the global flagship for the Bouncetopia sub-brand, with a 54-metre mega inflatable trampoline and 13 sensory-integration stations ‘launching’ kids skyward.
It is smaller in footprint than the Wan Chai flagship (about 8,000 sq ft) but more focused — basically one giant inflatable playground, which is exactly what exhausted toddlers aged 1–6 need.

3. JOYPOLIS SPORTS @ Kai Tak Sports Park
Opened inside the brand-new Kai Tak Sports Park complex in 2025, JOYPOLIS SPORTS is the Hong Kong debut of SEGA’s Japanese indoor-sports concept. Across 30,000 sq ft it mixes VR karting, an interactive climbing wall with real-time scoring, a SONIC-branded sports arena, a ninja course and a balance-beam zone.
Booking is by timed 120-minute slot (10:30, 13:00, 15:45, 18:30), which means it stays uncrowded. Joypolis charges by age band; holders of the government JoyYou Card (樂悠咭) get a flat HK$180 off-peak rate.

4. PeeKaBoo Playhouse @ Whampoa — the pink-themed hidden gem
If you have lived in Kowloon for years and never set foot in the Whampoa ‘Factory’ extension, you have missed the newest 7,000 sq ft all-pink playhouse. PeeKaBoo opened in late 2025 and has stayed under most parenting radars because it sits inside a quieter residential mall rather than a flagship mall.
Inside: a sizeable ball pit, a wall with motion-sensor interactive projections, an inflatable trampoline, soft-play climbing frames, and a costume corner for dress-up. It skews toward ages 2–8 and the entire colour palette is millennial pink, which parents tend to either love or quietly dislike.

|---|---|
| Address | Shop G2-3, G/F, Fortune Metropolis (Phase 10), Whampoa Street, Hung Hom |
| MTR | Whampoa Station Exit A, 3-min walk through Whampoa Garden |
| Opening hours | Mon–Fri 10:30–20:00 |
| Price | From HK$135 / 2 hours |
| Best for ages | 2–8 |

5. EpicLand 歷奇王國 @ Kai Tak (relocated)
EpicLand is not new as a brand, but its 2025 move from Tuen Mun to the Kai Tak Retail Pavilion (Block 2, 4/F) effectively makes it a ‘new’ venue for Kowloon-side families. The new space is around 20,000 sq ft with 5 themed zones and the signature Air Trek zip line, water-ball slide, kids’ cannon ball pit and an enlarged toddler soft-play area.
Entry is all-inclusive — no per-attraction up-charges — which makes it the best value option in this list for a 3-hour visit.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Address | Block 2, 4/F, Kai Tak Retail Pavilion, 38 Shing Fung Road, Kai Tak |
| MTR | Kai Tak Station Exit A, 10-min walk |
| Opening hours | 11:00–20:00 daily (Mon reserved for parties) |
| Price | From HK$258 (all-day, all-inclusive) |
| Best for ages | 3–12 (with toddler-only zone for 1–3) |

6. Sooper Yoo @ The Westwood, Kennedy Town
Sooper Yoo opened in 2024 but expanded significantly in 2025, adding a Now Virtual Studio where kids can practise being a TV presenter on a green-screen set. It remains the largest indoor playground on Hong Kong Island west and is themed around sports-tech rather than fantasy kitchens.
Highlights include a F1-style cycling race against virtual opponents, a labyrinth obstacle course that integrates motion sensors, and a balance-beam parkour track for ages 6+.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Address | 1/F, The Westwood, 8 Belcher’s Street, Kennedy Town |
| MTR | Kennedy Town Station Exit C, 4-min walk |
| Opening hours | 10:00–18:45 daily |
| Price | Parent-child ticket from HK$248 / 2 hours |
| Best for ages | 4–12 |

7. 100FUN 樂滿紛 @ Kai Tin Mall, Lam Tin
100FUN sits inside a humble neighbourhood mall in Lam Tin, which is exactly why it stays under the radar. Its theme is the opposite of generic — a recreated 1960s–80s Hong Kong, with a mock ‘Tony Barber’, ‘Fanny Hair Salon’, ‘Cecily Supermarket’ and a Cantonese-style ice-room parlour. Kids dress up; parents take the photos.
Two practical bonuses: it is one of the few Hong Kong indoor play areas with a true -15°C snow-slope room (great when summer hits 34°C), and the parent-to-staff ratio is generous because most visitors are locals, not tourists.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Address | Shop 328-329, 3/F, Kai Tin Mall, 50 Kai Tin Road, Lam Tin |
| MTR | Lam Tin Station Exit A, 8-min walk via Kai Tin Shopping Centre podium |
| Opening hours | Mon–Tue 14:00–20:00; Wed–Fri 11:30–20:00; Sat, Sun & PH 11:00–20:00 (split 15:30) |
| Price | Parent-child ticket HK$170 |
| Best for ages | 3–10 |

Planning your visit
- Book the slot, not the day. All seven venues above use timed-entry slots, and weekend slots fill by Thursday afternoon. Book on the operator’s site or via Klook / KKday for the discount, but check the operator’s calendar — some are cheaper at the door on weekday mornings.
- Sock policy is strict. Every venue above requires non-slip grip socks (HK$20–35 to buy if you forget). Put a pair in every family member’s school bag as a habit.
- Combine Kai Tak visits. Bouncetopia, JOYPOLIS and EpicLand are all within the Kai Tak Sports Park / AIRSIDE cluster. If you arrive at 10:30, you can do Bouncetopia with toddlers, then walk over to JOYPOLIS for the older sibling at 13:00.
- Toddler rules. Only Bouncetopia, EpicLand (toddler zone) and DOCODOCO at The LOHAS accept under-2s. Everywhere else enforces a strict 2-year minimum because the bigger slides are not safe for pre-walkers.
- Food & drink. JOYPOLIS SPORTS and Kiztopia Wan Chai have on-site cafes; the others have mall food courts within 1 minute. None allow outside food in the play area.
A short closing thought
The Hong Kong indoor-playground scene has matured faster in the last 18 months than in the previous five years. Kai Tak alone has absorbed three of the venues on this list, which means a single MTR stop now does the work of a previously full-day trip. The honest trade-off: prices have crept up. HK$170–260 per child per visit is the new normal. A monthly pass (Kiztopia, JOYPOLIS, EpicLand all sell them) starts to make sense once your kid asks to go more than twice a month. Pick one venue close to home, one venue worth a weekend trip, and rotate.
