Why The Parisian Macao is the Best Place to go with Kids
The Parisian Macao is one of the best places to go with kids in luxury category. The hotel is an ideal destination for quintessential holiday fun for kids. There are several kid friendly facilities which can keep them engaged for hours. Best part is they have some unique activity centres which can keep the family as a whole engaged, thus providing quality bonding time for family. The water activities I saw there made me regret – why at all did I grow up!

Thanks for the invite from staff of The Parisian Macao…
I visited The Parisian Macao in the month of April 2017.
The experience and opinions presented here are completely mine.
I would love to take my niece and nephew here. It would be so much fun watching them play around at Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World and Planet J. The lighthouse and pirate ship at Aqua World are perfect. Such great things to do with kids!
My kids love the Dreamworks movies especially How to Train your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda! The ice sculptures look amazing. Macau is on our list now! Planet J looks like a very unique experience as well! Thanks for opening us up to these great places in Macau!
I haven’t visited Macau, but I want to visit it. And I don’t have a kid, can I be a kid again. It looks so fun, especially I want to visit Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World, it is heaven for kids
Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World sounds super fun, I especially love that it features characters from Shrek! I can definitely understand why Aqua World is a MUST-see/visit ? It looks so incredible with so much variety.
We were just talking to a friend about visiting Macau. We were intrigued and now we’ll have to add checking out the Parisian Macau. Sounnds like fun for kids of all ages.
Hey Indrani, I know some adults who like LARP games too and I can imagine them at Planet J so easily! The Parisian Macao sounds like a perfect stay for all kids-at-heart. 😉
I am hoping to go to Macau with my young daughter soon and this would be right up here street. I been to Macau before but never heard of the Parisian Macao before so will check this out (just to keep her happy…right?) 😀
The Parisian Macao looks like a wonderful place for the family to stay! The ice sculptures are incredible – they don’t look like ice at all. I love the nods to Paris and France in the Aqua park – Marie Antoinette and Jules Verne etc!
Forget going for kids, I want to go for myself! I’ve only just got Raquel into How to train your dragon and she’s hooked now! Plus I love waterparks, it’s a shame they don’t have them here in the UK
The Parisian Macao looks like it’s fun for all ages! I like the bright lights and the grandeur of the lobby. What I would really love is to stay in their top suite for a night or two!
We are no longer travelling with kids. But I am sure we would enjoy the Parisian Macao too. The Ice World sculptures look great. It is great that Aqua World has things for kids of all ages. We do love our water slides. Sounds like a fun spot.
I had no idea this place even existed! It looks like such a fun place for kids. I think I would even enjoy some of this myself! The aqua world looks like a ton of fun, especially on a hot day.
I want to go!!! Looks so much fun! with the rides and the tunnels! 🙂 I’d love to visit it, anyone can be a kid again seeing all these activities!
This place looks interesting. I haven’t heard about it until reading your post. Really want to take my siblings to visit here. They will definitely love it!
Your post got me all excited because we are planning to visit Macao & HK this year. We do not have kids but I can see how amazing it is would be for them as there are so many attractions. Your pictures make me wanna be a child again.
Macao has been on my list for a long time! I’d love to take my 5 year old there. Love all your photos, you really are making me want to travel there now!
I am not a child yet aqua world surely sounds like a my kind of place. The sound of web crawl tunnels, sliding tunnels, climbing nets tempts me. Sometimes it’s hard to believe I am an adult!
Just wow. We are actually planning to go here later this year with our two year old so all of these tips are super useful to use.
Oh this looks like so much fun. Kung Fu Panda is one of my favourite movies. I’d love to have seen this myself. Such lucky kids getting to do this.
Wao thanks for the post!! It’s so detailed and I love you put all the prices!! I will definitely want to visit all the sites, specially the Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World!! Looks like so much fun!
xo, Pily
This place is not only perfect for kids, but also good for adults movie fans! I’m sure I will enjoy my time there too. Thanks for sharing!
How fun! I wouldn’t mind doing this myself! I wish I could be a kid again.
Gosh I wish I could become a kid again! But very useful post Indrani. Bookmarked it to share with those travelling to Macao with kids.
yay! Kung Fu Panda is so much fun! If only I have kids now, will surely bring them here! Ahh, so cuuuuttee!! Xx
A place to go get lost with kids, and for adults should be a memorable experience. I feel you with the Aqua world, kids love to repeat fun activities like this so, folks with kids should get ready!
You are just about right! I am sure every child will have a blast visiting each of these places you mentioned. My son is a big Kung Fu Panda fan and I am sure he will enjoy visiting this place. I used to think they do not have attractions like this in Macao.
Love the look and feel of the place! I am so tempted by this place that it’s hard to believe that this place is only for kids.
Cool place to hang out! Sort of a Disneyland in Macau ah… Or Dreamplay in the PH. And who doesn’t love Po from Kung Fu Panda? This place would seem to be always packed with kids yeah? 🙂
The Parisian Macao is not only the best place to go with kids, but also it holds the promise of unleashing the kid residing in every adult’s heart. There are so many activities, I am sure there will never be a dull moment for all, children and adults alike. Hope to visit here next time we are in those parts.
Maybe if my baby is a little older where he can appreciate things, I will save so much so I can let him travel Macao. Or HK Disneyland first. Though your photos captures my attention and I think my son would love it there.
Oh My Goodness my kids would just love to go to the aqua place – so much fun and so many things to do! THEY love slides and crazy water parks this one sounds awesome!
If I would love to visit this place after reading your post, I would bet that 100% of kids around the world would be happy to be here.
Not sure if I passed by this when I was in the area. But it certainly looks very entertaining and fun especially for kids!
Wow! A great post. These places are not only for kids but for the elder kids like me too. I am already in love with Kung Fu and the aqua world. It will be a great experience vacationing at Parisian Macao.
How does it feel? Hahaha. I mean, it looks fun seeing another place in the current location. It makes you crave to go to the actual location, right? It must be fun!
People say that there’s not much to see and to-do in Macao. But I guess, I am willing to be a kid again for this. LOL. Nice post!
I like how Macao gives nostalgia to one’s childhood. People tend to think that it’s a place just for gambling but I think one should really give time to other things that this place can offer.
OMG, kids would sure love going to the Parisian Macao with all the attractions listed here! I know my 5-year-old kid would. Heck, my inner kid would too and is now screaming in delight! 😀 The Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World looks particularly awesome, since the summer heat here in the PH is bordering on hellish. If or when we travel to Macao, I am definitely looking up this post again for ideas. 🙂
I would like to bring my nephews here. I am sure that they will enjoy and have so much fun. I particularly like the Aqua World because of the swimming pool slides.
Macao! Even though this place is near the Philippines, I haven’t had the chance to go there. (I really haven’t gone out of the country just yet.) I heard it is much similar to nearby Hong Kong? But hey, Macao surely will surprise me by the time I visit!
That place is really entertaining for the kids and for the kids-at-heart. Those ice artworks are beautiful. The aqua World is perfect this summer. Really a nice place where recreations are offered indoors and outdoors.
I love how you captured the happiness the kids felt while playing! The other musketeer amuses me and Idk why. But, from the things you can do, it proves that Parisian Macao is truly one of the best places for kids to go! I don’t have my own family yet but this awakens the child in me.
Wow, this is such a great place that kids can really play and flirt with all what this place has to offer. I think kids will not just get to enjoy, but they will surely find this place as a playground to always go back and play. Though, I’m no longer a kid, but at some point I have a kid heart and I want to go here as well. Thank you so much for sharing!
The Parisian Macao indeed looks like one of those destinations which have it all, with a special focus on kids entertainment.The Kung Fu Ice World and the aqua center look like fun places to hang out as a family.
I am a Big Kung Fu Panda ? Fan Too ? I am sure there are many like me who simply Adore Cute Pandas ! So Parisian Macao makes to-do thing not only for Kids but Me Too 🙂 As usual beautiful drafted Post .
You gave such convincing reasons for children and even kids at heart would love the place. I believe kids really deserve going to these places as they bring so much fun to us. The experience also opens their eyes to learning.
The pictures spelled out FUN for me! I know kids, would certainly love this, but also those who are kids at heart! I certainly want to visit. I hope someday I’ll be able to.
Such an interesting place in Macao. Is Macau and Macao are the same? or different place? Ice world is amazing! Hope to get there soon.
Hi DreamCatcher… thanks for the comment. Yes Macao and Macau both are same.
Hope you get there soon.
This place sounds like a lot of fun and not only for children but for adults as well. There are so many games and “worlds” to discover, it’s hard to believe anyone can get bored here. The Kung Fu Panda Adventure looks like so much fun!
OMG Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World???!! This sounds like a kids dream! I just read your post about the Eiffel Tower at the Parisian Macao too – sounds like a really fun place!
So cool to see this. I’ve only been to Macao to bungee jump. It seems like a great place for families and an easy stop from Hong Kong if I need a break from shopping. The water world looks like tons of fun. Thanks for the information.
The kids will have a great time there. Loved the Kungu Panda spot.
Totally agree with you that there’s heaps to do in Macau if you’re travelling with kids. Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World looks like fun! I’m a big kid and love these sorts of attractions.
Sounds fun. I think Kung Fu Panda Adventure Ice World is the one for us.
I recently visited Macao but saw the other side, I didn’t go to any of the big resort hotels but instead focused on the historical side and food. This hotel does look amazing!
Sounds like a fun and entertainment world! Wonderful settings over there
