    Entertainment at every age: your 120-minute Hong Kong transit guide

    Travelling with children? Embark on a fun-filled adventure at Hong Kong International Airport with our guide to the best family-friendly activities for your two-hour layover.

    A family of four with two children on a moving walkway in the Hong Kong International Airport. The boarding gate signs can be seen in the background.

    1. Start your adventure

      Allow 10 minutes

    When you have two hours on your hands and a family to keep entertained, what’s there to do? At Hong Kong International Airport, the answer is plenty, with a wide selection of restaurants and shops to visit. And don’t forget the airport lends out free infant strollers – just contact the airport team when you land.

    Don't forget to sign up for HKIA’s new loyalty programme, HKairport Rewards,  to earn points and rewards for you spending at the airport.

    2. Seek out magical souvenirs

    On the hunt for a gift or two? Head to the East Hall, where you’ll find the flagship The Magic of Hong Kong Disneyland store, featuring toys, games, souvenirs and everything else you’d expect from a shop that celebrates all things Disney.

    Looking to keep the family happy on the next leg of your journey? Head to the Toys & Games shops for entertainment options or The Peninsula Boutique, which is filled with the hotel group’s finest delicacies: delicious chocolates, crumbly cookies and other tasty treats.

    Children playing at Wonder Eggshell, a play area at Hong Kong International Airport featuring an egg-shaped structure connected to climbing nets, tunnels and slides.

    4. Unleash your imagination

    Have younger children to tire out? Head to the Digital Fun Zones: the Wonder and the Buzz  for movies and TV shows, AR and VR games, and digital tablets with interactive games. For something adventurous, the Wonder Eggshell – an egg-shaped structure connected to climbing nets, tunnels and slides – encourages children to play and explore.  

    Still have energy left to burn? Challenge your children to find all of the 19 sculptures created by Hong Kong artists around the airport. As you walk through the main concourse, you’ll also discover the captivating Totems of Joy digital art installations. Snap a selfie to remember your family’s stylish departure.

    After a day of fun, relax before your connecting flight by lounging in the Recharge zones, located near various gates around the airport. Aviation enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy plane spotting from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

    5. All aboard!

      Allow 40 minutes

    You need to get to your connecting flight gate at least 30 minutes before departure: and with a whole family in tow, you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time. The automated people mover – the train shuttle in the basement – is a fast and fun way across the airport. Get a spot at the front windows to watch the journey through the tunnel.
