1 Archery Tag and Bubble Soccer at Crossfire Arena
Crossfire Arena is a cool neon-themed space that allows you to host a medium-sized party. I first went there in 2019 with my friends and had a blast. We played Bubble Soccer, where you enter a giant ball and try to play soccer. The keyword here is ‘try’ because we kept toppling over while attempting to kick a tiny ball in our giant suits.
We also played Archery Tag, a mix of war games and archery. The goal is to hit the opposing team while trying to avoid getting hit yourself, and even capture their arrows. I laughed so much during this game that my stomach hurt. It was just too funny! 😂

2 McDonald’s Birthday Party
If you grew up in Hong Kong, then you’ve probably been to or even had your own McDonald’s birthday party. Who says they’re only for children? I checked the website, and they’re available for people of ALL AGES! So, bring out your inner child and host one of these epic parties full of nostalgia and fun. I mean, what’s not to love about a Happy Meal?! So, take my advice and throw that celebration!
Here’s a list of all the McDonald’s party locations you can choose from.
3 Laser Tag
If you have a medium-sized group of 10-15 people, laser tag might be the perfect birthday party idea! It’s suitable for all ages and is a safe, energetic activity for everyone. There are quite a few laser tag arenas in Hong Kong, but Rasalaser is a well-rated one with mostly positive reviews. Plus, it’s equipped with neon lights and designated birthday zones!

4 Sing some tunes in Karaoke
Karaoke rooms are incredibly popular in Hong Kong and have become ingrained in its culture. If you’re looking for a chill place to celebrate a birthday with friends during these hot summer nights, a karaoke room is the perfect spot. Karaoke packages typically include a meal and drink, and you can belt out Cantonese classics or nostalgic hits from the ’90s and 2000s.
Neway and Red Mr are probably the most popular options, though Red Mr offers a wider selection of English songs. Don’t forget to sing some nostalgic karaoke hits like Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys while you’re there!
5 Go bake a Cake! – DIY Cake Baking Workshop
What’s better for a birthday party than a cake-making workshop? I recently had a joint birthday party with two close friends, and we decided to try a cake-baking workshop at Bakebe in Tsim Sha Tsui. I had my doubts at first, but they quickly disappeared once I realized how much fun I was having.
Bakebe, like other similar workshops, provides all the materials and ingredients, along with detailed instructions on how to create the perfect cake or cupcake. You can choose the difficulty level and pricing, which ranges from $380 to $700 depending on the cake. If you’d like to partner up, your partner only pays 30% of the cake fee, making it cost-effective to team up.
I think it’s quite worth the experience, especially if you’re a first-time baker and want to have fun!
6 Free Entry Ocean Park for Your Birthday
Ocean Park is Hong Kong’s oldest theme park, having opened in 1977. It offers not only epic views and cool rides but also leads in marine life conservation efforts in Hong Kong. I love the giant panda exhibit and the iconic cable car that transports you from the lower area, called the Waterfront, to the upper part, known as the Summit.
An amazing deal you can get is free entry on your birthday! Unfortunately, this offer is only valid for Hong Kong residents. All you have to do is book on the Ocean Park website on the 15th of every month.
7 Book a Party Room
Hong Kong apartments are notoriously small, making it difficult to host parties. Fortunately, there are numerous party rooms that are like spacious apartments, complete with games and plenty of room. I’ve attended a few parties in these party rooms, and they really give you and your friends the flexibility to hold a birthday celebration in a private space while enjoying all the amenities of an event venue.
8 Go Indoor Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is the perfect birthday party activity—it’s adventurous, fun, and active. It’s not just about scaling walls; it’s about challenging yourself, cheering on friends, and having a blast. I’ve been to Verm City for rock climbing, and it made me feel like a kid again! They offer both bouldering and a more visually interesting climbing zone. If you’re into climbing or have been meaning to try it out, why not make rock climbing your next birthday party adventure with friends?

9 Have a Junk Boat Party on the Sea
Junk boat parties in Hong Kong are a classic way to enjoy the city’s stunning coastline! Just imagine you and your friends cruising around Victoria Harbour or heading out to secluded beaches, while soaking up the sun, sipping drinks, and blasting your favorite tunes. It’s laid-back yet lively, making it perfect for birthday celebrations!
I’ve never booked a junk boat personally, but Yacht Holimood comes highly recommended, and a few of my friends have used it in the past!
10 Play VR Games
I love playing VR games. It allows me to immerse myself in a virtual adventure while staying indoors and enjoying the cool AC. I’ve played VR games several times in Hong Kong, and I think it’s an amazing place to host a birthday party. It will certainly be something unique that your friends may not have experienced before! The VR gaming venue in Hong Kong is Sandbox VR. They have two locations, in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, so you can choose where you’d like to host.
If you’re looking for birthday offers and discounts, be sure to inquire with them about the latest promotions 🙂 I went with my team once, and the staff was very friendly and answered all of my questions.
11 Tram Party to Bask in Hong Kong’s city lights!
The most unique type of birthday party you can have here in Hong Kong is a tram party. I’ve been to several over the last few years and have always enjoyed myself. To my surprise, it’s not even that expensive! If you want to enjoy Hong Kong’s beautiful skyline while blasting some music and just having a chill time, this might be your best bet!
12 Summary
Hong Kong really does have a lot of unique experiences! As for me, I haven’t been to parties, but I’ve read about a lot of cool ones. One that stands out is a rooftop party with stunning views of the city skyline. It’s not as interactive as VR or tram parties, but the ambiance and views make it special. How about you? What’s the coolest birthday party you’ve been to?
