When is the AIA Carnival 2026-2027 in Hong Kong?
The AIA Carnival returns to Central Harbourfront Event Space from 22 December 2026 to 21 February 2027. It is Hong Kong’s big winter fairground on the waterfront, with rides, games, circus shows and food against the skyline. Opening hours and full ride lists are usually confirmed closer to the start-check aiacarnival.com for the latest.
How much do AIA Carnival tickets cost and what do they include?
Tickets are typically priced by day type (off-peak, standard, peak) and include a set number of tokens for rides and games. In recent years, adult tickets started around HK$140-160 online (with 10 tokens) and child tickets (ages 3–11) from about HK$95–105 (with 7 tokens). Children under 3 and visitors with disabilities usually enter free. Buy online for discounts and to skip queues; extra tokens can be added.
Is the AIA Carnival suitable for families with young kids?
Yes. There are gentle rides such as carousels and inflatable slides for younger children, plus height restrictions so staff can advise what is suitable. Under-12s must be accompanied by an adult. Past editions also offered family sessions and the Winter World Circus, which appeals across ages. Arrive earlier on weekdays for lighter crowds.
What rides and attractions can families expect?
Expect a mix of classic carnival rides, fairground games with plush prizes, live entertainment and food stalls. Recent years featured the Gandeys Circus winter show, photo spots, and rides ranging from toddler-friendly options to bigger thrills for older kids and teens. Exact 2026–2027 attractions are still being announced, but the waterfront setting and festive atmosphere remain the main draws.
How do I get to the AIA Carnival and what should families know?
It is at Central Harbourfront Event Space, 9 Lung Wo Road, Central. Walk from Hong Kong or Central MTR stations (about 10–15 minutes). Book tickets and tokens online in advance for savings and faster entry. Tokens are loaded onto a card for rides and games. For more winter family ideas see the Merry Balloon Park guide.
