Your special day only comes around once a year, so why not milk it and take advantage of some of the generous birthday offers around town? Most restaurants will throw in a complimentary dessert or birthday message and candle if you let them know about the celebration in advance, but there are even more exciting perks to take advantage of around Hong Kong.
From free admission and discount tickets to complimentary food and drinks in some of the swankiest venues in Hong Kong, you’d be crazy not to. Here are some of the best free things to get on your birthday in Hong Kong!
Spend your special day hopping on thrilling rides at Ocean Park Hong Kong, which offers guests free daytime admission on their birthday. All you have to do is secure an online reservation and rock up to the ticket office with your booking confirmation QR code and Hong Kong ID card, and you’re in.
Just keep in mind the offer doesn’t apply to Water World, and that the park is closed every Tuesday. If your birthday falls on a closure day, you can redeem your offer on the following opening day. Click here to find out more.
