In a city as hot and humid as Hong Kong, there’s nothing like a cooling dip in the pool. Luckily, the city has 44 public swimming pools, many of which have kiddie pools and water slides to make it a fun family day out. Adult admission is HK$17 during the week and HK$19 on weekends and public holidays, while children under three are free!
