Tai Tong Organic EcoPark - Hong Kong - Worth an afternoon trip!

 

Tai Tong Organic Eco park is best be on the lap of nature, just somewhere around the city. With lots of hits and misses, Tai Tong Organic Lychee park  is good one time visit for families with toddlers and young kids. While its green grassland slides are super hit and its lush strawberry farms are definitely worth a visit. The animal land is certainly small, poorly kept and heart wrenching. But again on other hand the open space and playgrounds are very very kids friendly. Our 2.5 year old toddler had great afternoon and evening well spent with lot of activities to do. Just a brief overview of what to expect there: 

 

Tai Tong Ticket Office! Entry fee as on 2024 is HKD 90 for Adult. But if you buy Strawberry park ticket for HKD 180 then it includes entrance. For activities inside the park buy set of 4 tickets for HKD 80 each set.

Map of Tai Tong Eco Park. Its quite big and varied! Dont forget to take one map near entrance!

 

Green Grass Slide! This looked really fun! But allowed for kids from 3 to 12 years for 40$ (15 mins)

Is it worth to visit this place?: This is certainly one time visit, but you wont go here again and again as its bit inconvenient to reach, animals are not kept well and literally you pay for everything possible inside. So its bit expensive affair for frequent visits.

What about food?: There is small kiosk at starting and mid of park which sells few stuff but not meals. For vegetarians, you will practically get only water and sodas. So please carry your own food :) 

Pro Tip: Start with strawberry park by 10 am. Fill your tummies with yum strawberries and then head towards the rest of the park. End with family ride and animal farm. If your kids enjoy activities like car rides, bouncy castle, pony rides etc... buy 2 sets of tickets in advance or you might walk back just to buy activity tickets. 

Enjoy the park! You will love it, but for one time visit only!
