Weekend Fun for Your Family in Hong Kong
Try these quirky family activities, sure to please the pickiest kids and adults alike.
Lasermads
If you’ve got kids who are getting obsessed with sci-fi, pretend shooting or just the thought of running amok in a spaceship, you’re in luck because Lasermads is here to satisfy all of the above. Think of it as a high tech, faster-paced war game, with none of the threat and pain of ricocheting BB gun pellets. Make sure not to get too competitive with your family as you wade in and out of the LED-lit obstacles in a heart-banging competition either individually, in teams, or in one of the two exclusive modes: Agents Tag or Zombie Tag. Games cost $118 per individual, but are cheaper when booked in groups or if you’re a member. 11/F, Ying Kong Mansion, 2-6 Yee Wo St., Causeway Bay, 2343-3033, lasermads.com
