Hong Kong is no stranger to spectacular Christmas lights and installations this time of the year. However, a recently opened destination in the West Kowloon Cultural District is promising Hongkongers a different kind of fun this festive season. Get ready to bounce the year away at Merry Balloon Hong Kong, a giant inflatable playground offering endless merriment to visitors of all ages. Here’s everything you need to know before your visit.
The Balloon Park themed attraction is one of three mega projects under Merry Balloon Hong Kong and will take place from now until January 11, 2026. The park is divided into two main zones: the ‘Giant Bouncy Zone’ where large inflatable attractions, a bouncing area, and an inflatable slide await, while the ‘Snap & Play Zone’ includes a vibrant maze populated with installations of popular cartoon characters ranging from Moomin and Peppa Pig to SpongeBob and Mr. Men Little Miss that are ideal for photo taking. An outdoor snack booth will also be onsite, where you can refuel with small bites and drinks in-between all the jumping.
Entries into Merry Balloon Hong Kong are divided into three categories: Junior, Everyone’s Fun Day, and After Dark. Junior sessions take place from 9.30am to 12.40pm and are designed for little ones under 120cm, so parents can let them run free around a safe zone within the park. Everyone’s Fun Day sessions run from 12.50pm to 7.20pm, where children aged 15 or under can party with their friends and family.
Finally, After Dark sessions are open to visitors aged 16 and over and take place between 7.30pm and 10.40pm. Beyond child-free fun, the Balloon Park will also host live DJ performances on selected dates, so you can party the evening away while bouncing between attractions.
Merry Balloon Hong Kong is open from now until January 11, 2026 at the Great Lawn, Art Park, West Kowloon Cultural District. Tickets are priced from $168 per person for 90-minute sessions, while Junior tickets go from $299 per kid for 90-minute sessions. Guests are required to wear non-slip socks when entering the ‘Giant Bouncy Zone’ – you can bring your own or purchase them onsite for $25 per pair.
