Outdoor Boardwalks At Hong Kong Wetland Park
There are a variety of flat, stroller-friendly boardwalks that let you explore the different environments within the 60-hectare wetland reserve. Along the way, you’ll see streams and ponds, the mangrove swamp, a butterfly garden and mudflats. There are a number of bird hides that let you quietly observe the local wildlife.
It’s quite striking to see such a special ecosystem set against the highrise apartment blocks of Yuen Long and with the skyscrapers of Shenzhen in the distance.

Indoor Exhibitions At Hong Kong Wetland Park
We were just getting ready to head off after a fun morning exploring the boardwalks when we decided to have a quick look through the exhibits. Thank goodness we did! The kids easily could have spent an hour or more exploring the interactive exhibits.
We entered through the Frozen North gallery which explains just how far some of those migratory birds travel, before heading into the Tropical Swamp. This was a truly impressive set up that housed snakes, lizards, frogs and fish.
Then it was on to the Human Culture gallery, which despite its somewhat dry name, was a true highlight of the day. There were tables full of puzzles and games, interactive visual displays and more. We had to drag the kids away.
If you’re visiting in the summer, these indoor activities will be a welcome respite from the heat and humidity and will make the journey worthwhile.

Indoor Playground At Hong Kong Wetland Park
Our kids couldn’t walk past the Swamp Adventure indoor playroom without going inside! Sessions are 15 minutes long and entry numbers are limited to 40 kids a time, but as it wasn’t busy when we visited there was no problem walking straight inside. Don’t forget socks!
There are a series of ladders and large slides designed like mangrove trees and a small toddler slide off to the side.
