The Best Members' Clubs For Children In Hong Kong

For the ultra-energetic

The Hong Kong Jockey Club isn’t just for grown-ups; each of its clubhouses has facilities for kids of all ages. Sha Tin features indoor and outdoor play zones with video games and a VR experience; Happy Valley has an indoor “magic valley”-themed play area to spark children’s imagination; and Beas River has an indoor playroom with toys, board games and lots of books and films, plus an outdoor adventure playground with climbing frames and plenty of space to run.

For weekend escapism with the family

Located next to the terrace, the children’s play area at the Hong Lok Yuen Country Club allows parents to sit with a drink while casting a watchful eye over little ones having fun together. The New Territories members club has a skating path, swings and other climbing frame equipment, as well as a children’s gaming room and, for the youngest members, an indoor playroom with padded toys, a ball pit and a TV for watching all their favourite cartoons.

For little ones with big imaginations

Step out of the concrete jungle and into a world of imagination at the Aberdeen Marina Club’s dedicated area for children, which includes a two-level indoor play area. The “adventure zone” features climbing challenges, a ball pool, an art room and an iMac station, while “Run, 2, 3!” includes three party rooms, slides and rope nets.

For families that play together

Fun abounds at the Ladies’ Recreation Club’s spaces for young people, which include a Kids Klub for children aged seven and under, with toys, soft mats and activity tables, as well as a soft play room with building blocks and a ball pit for worry-free tumbling. Older children are entertained in The Hub, which is open to all members of the family, and offers foosball, air-hockey, table tennis, a pool table, video games and a racing simulator. There is also an arts and crafts studio and a creative room where arty members can express their creativity.

For the city’s next sports stars

The Hong Kong Football Club consistently emerges as one of parents’ most recommended kids’ clubs on online forums. As well as the club’s reputation for sports facilities, activity days and trial sessions, the Happy Valley centre also has two separate children’s playrooms on its first floor, boasting a range of sport-themed equipment to encourage an active lifestyle in safe and supportive surroundings.

For future world travellers

Although not technically a members club in the strictest sense, the Marco Polo’s Piccolo Kids Club is available to families booked into stays at the Tsim Sha Tsui hotel. Even little ones get the five-star experience here, with attention paid to cute details, like children-sized slippers and eating utensils, and gifts and surprises that appear during turn-down. Until the end of the month, families who book the holiday experience can enjoy the hotel’s activity zone, featuring a Nintendo Switch and movie screenings.

For discerning youngsters

Maggie & Rose is the only dedicated family members club in Hong Kong, split between two locations in Repulse Bay and Causeway Bay. It offers annual membership that includes the whole family, and also camps and classes, events and private parties. Kids can get messy in art or cooking classes, fool around with friends in the padded play area, play dress-up and make-believe, and make as much noise as they like in a “musical munchkins” group.
