๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for curious children aged 7 and up with an interest in history or crime investigation - the VR element and recreated 1960s reception hold attention well. Plan for around 30-45 minutes. Not suited to toddlers given the stairs and exhibit-focused format. Pairs well with a Peak area hike as a cool, air-conditioned stop.

โ€œThe Hong Kong Police Museum is located on Coombe Road in the Wan Chai Gap area of the Peak. This is a focused speciality museum, which suitably makes use of the old Wan Chai Gap Police Station. Entrance is free to the public. The museum is curated pretty well, display items are a nice range and include English text for explanation. The galleries cover the storied history of the Hong Kong Police Force well and provide a good half an hour of learning opportunity for those with interest.โ€

โ€œIts a small museum so dont expect to be there for long. There's also lots of stairs to enter the building and you'll need to book online. I enjoyed this as they talked about the history of HK police.โ€
