Snoopy’s World

Conveniently located in a super large mall — My kids enjoyed playing the large Snoopy playground with the freedom to run around safely to play with other kids and small rides. The only ride that needs parents supervision is the Snoopy boat ride that requires two per boat.
Only open when there is no rain in the forecast and FREE.

When I was young, Snoopy’s World could be regarded as a theme park which was comparable to Disneyland (but actually it wasn’t completed when I was just a little girl!). Located right next to New Town Plaza and Sha Tin Town Hall, it was very accessible especially for us living in the vicinity. My mum always took us there to have a walk and take pictures of the cute Snoopy characters. Apart from the location there was another factor — it was free of charge and it still is! So I was super familiar with this wonderland!
When you get in through the main gate, you’re welcomed by Charlie Brown, and in front of you is the Dog House where you may find the TV, bookshelves and some of the characters’ items inside. And actually Snoopy is lying on top of the roof! Then on your right hand side is a yellow school bus. I remember when I was young there was a cartoon called The Magic School Bus which showed a teacher who took her students to have some kinds of adventure and they travelled by a yellow school bus every time. I enjoyed watching that cartoon, and so I particularly loved that yellow school bus when I visited Snoopy’s World! Another attraction is the boat ride. But to get on a boat, you need to purchase a certain amount in New Town Plaza first. I was a timid girl in the past and thought that would be as dangerous as riding on a pirate ship! Now I think it was a pity that I didn’t have a boat ride there! There is also a playground for children. Other areas are mainly set up for photo-​taking. If you explore everything slowly, you may spend around two hours there!
Of course Snoopy’s World is much smaller than those large theme parks in Hong Kong, but hey, it’s almost free of charge! And in fact the joy you can gain may be comparable to what other theme parks offer you!

If you ask your kids to pick their favourite theme park in Hong Kong, I bet 90% of the time you will be expecting Hong Kong Disneyland or Ocean Park. Wait, what? There is another one in Hong Kong? Yup, one that quietly sits on top of the New Town Plaza Shopping Mall in Shatin and it is called Snoopy’s World.
There are six amusement zones including the Dog House; School Bus Party; Boating Canal; Playground; Peanuts Boulevard: and Wedding Hall. The Doghouse entry is where Snoopy resides as he leisurely lying on the roof; The School Bus allows you to take picture in front of the iconic yellow school bus; Canoe Ride is the only ride here but to get on it, you have to show a receipt over a certain amount for a purchase from the shops in the mall. As it is the only ride, expect a long queue during weekends; The Baseball playground is just a normal playgroup filled with Snoopy characters; Peanuts Boulevard provides lots of picture opportunities with your characters; last but not least, the community hall does all you to have a wedding here
All in all, your kids will still be excited with all these. Instead of spending few hundreds for the admission fee in Hong Kong Disneyland or Ocean Park, how about next time bring your kids here and enjoy everything for free?
