Ponies on Parade
Now here’s an excellent way to ring in the Year of the Horse – with a pony encounter! In March, Tai Kwun will welcome real-life Shetland ponies to its Parade Ground for a family-friendly animal meet-and-greet with unique photo-taking moments. ‘Ponies on Parade’ represents a callback to Tai Kwun’s past life as the Central Police Station when horses still had a presence on the premises as steeds for mounted coppers, reimagining the heritage landmark as a gathering place between humans and horses once more.
These cute, mild-tempered ponies will be in Tai Kwun on March 7 (11.30am-3pm), 8 (11am-3pm), and 15 (11am-3pm) at the Parade Ground. Attendees can purchase tickets ($80 for two persons) online to secure a meet‑and‑greet experience and photo moments with a Shetland pony, plus a $50 Tai Kwun shopping and dining e‑voucher. Walk-ins are available as well at $50 for two persons, but they are subject to availability (if there are any tickets left after the online bookings, that is) and the walk-in price does not include a Tai Kwun e-voucher.
