Noah's Ark Ma Wan Park: New Indoor Playground, Padel & Career Missions For Kids

School’s back in session — but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. If your weekends are in need of a refresh, the newly upgraded Hong Kong Ma Wan Park Noah’s Ark has just leveled up with a brand new cosmic indoor playground, trendy padel and pickleball courts, and career role-play adventures launching this October. If your kids have been begging for KidZania, that last one’s for you.

Check it out here

Blast Off At Supernova, The Brand New Indoor Playground

Space-obsessed kids, this one’s for you. Supernova is Noah’s Ark’s brand new indoor playland, and it’s all about intergalactic adventure. Little ones can bounce their way through a Space Bouncy Castle (complete with slides and a dreamy ball pit), zoom around as a Galaxy Rider on a spaceship or space exploration bike, then soar in the Space Capsule.

Cap it off with a wander through Ark Expo to pick up some genuinely cool astronaut facts — sneaky learning, the best kind.

Smash It On The Courts At The Upgraded Noah’s Stadium

Parents (and teens), your turn. The revamped Noah’s Stadium sits directly beneath the Tsing Ma Bridge — which means natural shade while you play. It’s now home to 3 padel courts and 2 pickleball courts, plus spectator seating and shower facilities, with coaching from international coaches backed by world-class organisation The One Academy.

Padel is the sport of the moment, and this is one of the most scenic places in Hong Kong to try it. Great for families, friend groups and corporate away days alike. (Extra fee and reservation required.)

Coming In October: ARKtopia’s Career Missions & Crazy Lab

Think of ARKtopia as Noah’s Ark’s answer to the role-play craze, and if you’ve been waiting on KidZania Hong Kong, this is the closest thing families can actually book right now. The format will feel familiar: kids pull on a themed costume, step into a realistic simulated workplace and work through the genuine tasks of the job. It’s a more compact offering than a full-scale role-play city; four missions rather than fifty, and no earn-and-spend currency system, but it’s also folded into a much bigger day out, with a playground, sports courts, a beach and a hotel all on the same island.

From October, ARKtopia opens up a whole world of role-play for ages 5–11. Kids slip into themed costumes and take on real-world career missions:

  • Dairy Ice-Cream Product Developer — milk a cow at a simulated dairy farm, run playful science experiments and dream up their own ice cream flavour (6 game tokens)
  • Little Elite Flight Attendant — board the simulated Noah’s Air cabin for safety drills and in-flight meal service (6 game tokens)
  • Auto Power Guardian — diagnose faults and try hands-on car maintenance at an immersive repair station, with plenty of STEAM learning built in (4 game tokens)
  • Interstellar Astronaut — already open! Pilot a spacecraft, strike zero-gravity poses in a realistic space capsule and soak up aerospace knowledge (4 game tokens)

Also launching 1 October is Crazy Lab, an art exploration hub where light, shadow and science collide. Using installations built on pendulum motion and rotational physics, kids (and grown-ups — this one’s genuinely therapeutic) create DIY fluorescent artworks in swirls of surprise colour. Utterly mesmerising, and you get to take your masterpiece home.

Make A Whole Day (Or Weekend) Of It

The Ark isn’t a one-and-done outing. Stroll the beach, dig into island eats, snap photos at the colourful Ma Wan 1868, and if you’re not ready to leave, book a room at Noah’s Ark Hotel & Resort — the restaurant serves up 180-degree panoramic sea views over Tsing Ma Bridge. Active thrills and laid-back chills, all in one destination.

Highlights At Noah’s Ark

  • Cosmic indoor play at brand-new Supernova: Space Bouncy Castle, slides, ball pit, Galaxy Rider, and Space Capsule Soaring, plus astronaut facts at Ark Expo.
  • Shaded padel and pickleball under Tsing Ma Bridge at upgraded Noah’s Stadium: 3 padel courts, 2 pickleball courts, seating, showers, and optional international coaching (fee and booking).
  • October ARKtopia career missions and Crazy Lab fluorescent art for ages 5-11, using game tokens and limited themed costumes.

How do I get to Noah’s Ark Ma Wan Park with kids?

Take the Park Island ferry from Central Pier 2 (about 25–30 minutes) or Tsuen Wan, then walk or hop a short shuttle to 33 Pak Yan Road. KMB 230R from Kowloon Station or Tsim Sha Tsui also drops near the gate. Strollers work on the ferry; pack water for the last stretch. Pair the trip with this Ma Wan island family guide.

When is Noah’s Ark open and is it closed on Wednesdays?

The park runs 10am–6pm. The theme park is closed most Wednesdays, except public holidays and set dates such as 23 and 30 December 2026. Nature Garden, the hotel and restaurants stay open. Last entry is earlier for some halls (Nature Garden 5pm; playland 5:30pm). Buy tickets from 9:45am at the main gate.

Is Noah’s Ark worth it for toddlers and young kids?

Yes for a half-day. Little ones like the Ark Garden animal sculptures, Fun Fun Playland rocket slides and rope tunnel, and shady Nature Garden paths. Indoor halls help if it rains. Plan 3–4 hours, bring hats and snacks, and skip Wednesday closures.

How much are tickets and what is included?

Gate prices sit higher than online deals on Klook or noahsark.com.hk. One ticket usually covers Ark Garden, Ark Expo, e-Planet, Fun Fun Playland and Nature Garden. Treasure House is closed for renovation until 1 October 2026, when it reopens as ARKtopia. Check age discounts and last-entry times before you go.

What else can families do on Ma Wan after Noah’s Ark?

Walk to Tung Wan Beach, the old fishing village and hill lookouts toward Tsing Ma Bridge. Nearby Ma Wan 1868 adds farm play, workshops and water sports. The Noah’s Ark Hotel works if you want a quiet staycation instead of rushing the last ferry.

Why Little Steps Loves It:

It is one of the few Hong Kong weekends where indoor energy, real sport, and pretend-work learning sit on the same small island, so nobody has to choose between “tired kids” and “we did nothing.”

Who It's Perfect For:

School-age kids who need to bounce after a week of desks, parents who want air-con backup, and families happy to add a beach walk or hotel night without crossing the whole city twice.

What Else:

From 1 September, keep an eye out for the Online Flash Sale: Buy 1 Get 1 Free during designated promotion periods — from just HK$99 for adults and HK$79 for children, including HK$100 in dining and retail cash coupons plus 10 game tokens.
