There’s so much to do for younger kids in Hong Kong, but what about things to do with teenagers? If you’re looking to keep teens entertained, here’s a list that should get some ideas flowing!
#1 Escape from Lost Hong Kong
Ready to get lost? This reality escape game sees participants locked inside a ‘scenario room’, with 45 minutes on the clock to find a way out. Teens will love it, as they need to work as a team to solve puzzles and perform actions to escape from a bunch of different scenarios. Newly opened in both locations (Causeway Bay and Mong Kok) is Lost Junior, designed specifically for ages six to 14.
Cost: Prices start from around HK$150 per person.

#4 Ryze Ultimate Trampoline Park
What better way for teens to release a bit of energy than to let loose in this mega park in Quarry Bay on Hong Kong Island. It’s great not just for daredevils but for those who like a low-key bounce around. The park features more than 40 trampolines, including foam pits, trapezes and angled-wall trampolines – even a ninja obstacle course for a dose of stealthy fun.
Cost: From HK$95 per child for a one-hour session.

#5 Camping at Treasure Island
This is the perfect way to try out camping without having to invest in all the gear. Head out to Pui O Beach on Lantau for a night of camping (or glamping if you want to upscale). They provide most of the gear – everything from sleeping bags to s’mores can be arranged. Wake up in the morning to the sound of the beach and go for a surf. Sounds like heaven!
Cost: A night camping in a 4-person tent starts from HK$500.

#6 Get involved in MMA
Globally renowned trainer MMA trainer Jon Bond assures us, “MMA is not just fighting in a cage (or an Octagon). For teens, it’s perfect for building confidence, discipline and respect. BJJ and Judo are great for self-defence, way better than any choreographed self-defence class.” Guys and girls are welcome at Hybrid MMA’s teen sessions.

#7 Ocean Park Adventures
If you’re new to Hong Kong, Ocean Park is our most grown-up fun park. Here, you’ll find a few heart-starter rides and some other great activities. The best time of year to go is Halloween, when Ocean Park becomes seriously spooky. You’ll bump into Zombie actors in the lines for rides and there are additional spooky experiences created just for Halloween. It’s not for little kids (or scaredy cats).
Cost: Tickets for 12+ years are HK$498. Free admission on your birthday though!

#8 Laser Mads Battle
Get your competitive game on, form teams and head into the arena to battle it out at Laser Mads! If you’re looking for fun things to do with teenagers (that mums and dads will love too), this could be just the place. Young adults will love a visit to this spaceship-themed laser tag spot in Causeway Bay.
Cost: HK$118 per person

#9 Sing it loud at Karaoke
Hong Kong loves a bit of karaoke and your teens will too. Unleash their inner rockstars and let them go crazy (in a supervised way!) at one of the city’s karaoke clubs. There are a few in Causeway Bay and with a big enough group you can hire a private room for them to hide out in. Try CEO Neway (which sometimes offers a student discount) or Red MR.
Cost: From HK$105, depending on what you go for.
