Do say hello to Charlie Brown inside the dog house.
Where’s he watching TV on lounge room furniture, a replica straight out from the illustrations in the comics.
Themed Areas at Hong Kong Snoopy World
Snoopy Land opens up into a series of themed areas.
The Schoolhouse Plaza is the centre of Snoopy’s World, and features an enormous Snoopy image created with ceramic tiles.

It’s the perfect spot for busy toddlers and preschoolers, as they can run around on the paved areas, happy to have a space to play again.

No.4: Snoopy Playground at Snoopy World in Hong Kong
My boys favourite area of Snoopy theme park Hong Kong?
Snoopy’s playground of course.
Closed during wet weather
My boys did manage to sneak into the playground with a few other kids for a quick play.
Toddlers!
You can’t stop them sneaking through this gaps in the fence, can you?
Wink, wink!
Fun Fact: The playground is exactly the shape of a baseball field.

There’s a Mini Town too.
This boulevard of shops in a small American town has:
- a barber shop
- cinema
- hospital and
- bank.

Sadly, the kids can’t play inside.
How long should I stay at Snoopy Land Hong Kong
Give yourself two hours max here.
Hot tip: Buy a cup of takeout coffee and snacks on your way over from the train.
You’ll have plenty of time to sit and relax with your hot drink while the kids are busy playing surrounded by Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang.
Collect free stickers & a Snoopy World brochure
The staff at the entrance hand out brochures and stickers.
Hot tip: Take at least least two brochures, so the kids can cut them up for their travel journals.

Snoopy World Wedding Chapel
You can even get married at Snoopy’s World!
There is a very sweet Wedding Chapel and reception area (pictured above) right in the centre of Snoopy’s World.
By all accounts, it’s a fairly popular thing to do in Hong Kong!
Snoopy fans, rejoice.
