HONG KONG — As part of the Muse Fest 2025, the “Fun@Museum Carnival” will take place this Saturday and Sunday at the open piazza outside the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, offering a vibrant mix of entertainment and educational experiences for the public.

Highlights of the carnival include the giant board game “Jumbo Museum Journey,” “Dazzling Ping Pong Fun,” “Floorball Adventure,” “Collab Art Live,” “Classic Times Photo Booth,” live demonstrations of Hong Kong-style milk tea making (an Intangible Cultural Heritage), and a “Museum Anniversary Brick Set Edition” experiential zone.

Visitors will have the chance to try their luck with egg-grabbing claw machines to win birthday gifts and redeem one of 1,000 limited-edition Snowy BBQ Pork Pineapple Buns — available until stocks last. Mystery blind box prizes will also be available for selected activities.

Themed “Museum Anniversary”, the Muse Fest 2025 will run throughout November.

Throughout the month-long event, over 100 food and fun activities will be held across the museums and art spaces operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

This year marks milestone anniversaries for six museums: The 70th anniversary of the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb discovery, 50th of the Hong Kong Museum of History, 45th of the Hong Kong Space Museum, 40th of the Hong Kong Railway Museum, 25th of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and 1st of the Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence.
