Top attractions for children in Tokyo

Top attractions for children in Tokyo


It is a common misconception that Tokyo is expensive and more geared towards adults than for children. However, this is not the case whatsoever. There is plenty to see and do in Tokyo with your family. All of these activities depend on your individual budget of course, but do not think twice about taking your kids to Tokyo. You will be surprised at how much they can learn and all the fun to be had.

 

Theme parks and attractions

Disneyland Tokyo

The first that comes to any mind is of course, Disneyland. Tokyo Disneyland has reached cult status in the last few years, not only with children but with adults too. It has to be said that although Tokyo Disneyland does come with a rather hefty price tag (from 4,100 to 6,200 yen, around USD$40-60), it may well be worth it. For constant entertainment, you cannot do better than Disney. There are regular performances, bundles of rides and plenty of characters to keep children occupied. There are of course enough attractions for adults, including rollercoasters and some pretty unique restaurants. With Disney, what you see is what you get and the quality never varies. So, for something that you know will leave kids happy, it might be worth paying the entrance fee.


Legoland Discovery Centre

There is also the famous Legoland Discovery Centre, located in Odaiba. There is a fabulous 4D cinema, virtual reality games and plenty of Lego for kids to play with. There are the usual thrills and spills rides, which range from tame to nail-biting, of course. The entrance is around half the price of that at Disney, and there are often discounts if you book online. The opening hours are also shorter than at Disney, so take that into account when planning your trip.


Kidzania

If you prefer something educational, look no further than Kidzania. This is a simulation-based theme park where children ‘play’ at adult jobs and can then spend their ‘pay’ in various stores or on entertainment. This is a great chance for kids to learn as well as play, and it is the perfect place to make new friends. It may appear that this aimed towards younger children but that is not the case. The upper age limit is fifteen years old, so you may even be able to entertain teenagers. The only downside is that the park is only open from 9.15-2.30 and then from 4.15-8.30pm.

The best types of street food in Hong Kong and where to find it.

The best types of street food in Hong Kong and where to find it.

Hong Kong has a reputation worldwide for having one of the best street food traditions. So, cancel your restaurant reservations,  put your comfy trainers on and get out and about to find the best street food in Hong Kong!
 

Waffles, waffles, and more waffles

Hong Kong's fame comes from its egg waffles. No, really. These were recently voted one of the best in a survey of worldwide street food. It may sound humble but there is a lot you can do with some batter and a waffle press. Typically, these are paired with ice cream, fruits, syrups, and really anything sweet. However, if you miss a taste of America, you can always put bacon and syrup on your waffle. These can be found all over Hong Kong but some of the best are at Mammy Pancake and Master Low Key. They are cheap, filling, and even seem like a little taste of home.
 

Egg Tarts

While we are on the subject of sweet, Hong Kong egg tarts are another winner to satisfy your sweet tooth. These look similar to the egg custards you can find in Portugal and other European cities, but obviously have their own Hong Kong spin. Eggy, sugary, and not dissimilar to a creme Catalan, they positively melt in your mouth. The trick is to stop at just one. Or two. Or three. These can be found in bakeries all over the city and you will often see street vendors selling them in bags or individually. We assure you that no hunting around will be required.

Curry Fish Balls

They say that good things come in small packages and this has never been truer in the case of fish balls. These are made of minced fish meat, deep fried and covered in a mild curry sauce. This is a typical Hong Kong street food that the locals regularly enjoy. It also is one of the longest-serving types of street food, having been around for decades. They are usually served on a skewer, which should hold around 5 or 6. Take care as they can be boiling hot but once you try one, you will soon understand why adults and children alike go crazy for this snack. The best ones are said to be at Welcome Food Court or Tung Tat Food Shop (which also has some of the cheapest).


Pineapple buns

Contrary to what you may think, these do not contain any pineapple whatsoever; so why the name? The pattern on the soft, white bun stuffed with butter resembles a pineapple. It may sound unhealthy or even unappetising, but these buns are the ultimate in street food comfort eating. These have  been around for years and are usually drunk with tea or coffee at breakfast time. Despite their rather strange appearance and the rather strange combination, once you have tried one you will soon see that there is a reason why this is one of Hong Kong's most beloved snacks. You can find them at Kam Wah (mind the queues) which reportedly has the best in the city.
   


Fried intestines

No, this is not a joke although it may be for the more adventurous among us. This street food has been slowly gaining in popularity and it is surprisingly cheap and filling. Typically served on a skewer and fried, the outer part is crispy but inside the meat is tender and delicious. They are paired with a variety of sauces and are surprisingly tasty; the taste is not dissimilar to bacon or pancetta and you can hardly tell you are eating innards. The best ones are found at Ying Heong Yuen and Mong Kok Area, both of these places have a variety of all the street food options listed here.
