Peak Tower Tour

Last Saturday, Camp Quality took over 80 excited campers and companions on a fun-filled day out to the Peak and the new Peak Tower.

Everyone gathered bright and early at the new Central Star Ferry Pier for a short bus ride to the Peak Tram Terminus. It was from here that our fun started! Our journey to the top of the Peak begun with a ride on the historic Peak Tram, unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn’t see much of lovely Hong Kong skyline but this did not dampen the kid’s spirits.

Once we reached the top, everyone was escorted to the new EA Games Experience. This was a virtual games world where our campers could live out their sporting fantasy in their Virtual Sports zone with computer interactive games such as NBA live and Fifa 07. The campers also got the opportunity to test their skills & wit and experience exciting thrills in the Speed Experience zone with the latest racing car simulators. Many of our campers has so much fun there, it was hard to drag them away when we had to leave! Our thanks goes to Karen at EA Games for giving the kids so much fun.

Just strolling around the new Peak Tower, you could see there were plenty of new food and beverage outlets, some were locally recognized establishments but there were also some unfamiliar international- renowned imports too! One of these was “Bubba Gump”

Camp Quality was very fortunate to have the support of this new American theme restaurant that kindly sponsored a very delicious luncheon for everyone. We were all very impress with the theme of the restaurant, it was set in a most lively and colourful setting and there were plenty of movie memorabilia’s from the film “Forest Gump” displayed throughout the restaurant. We all loved the American style restaurant’s décor as well as all their yummy food! Some campers & companions were excited just having their photos taken either inside the restaurant or outside sitting on the famous bus bench from the movie!! Special mention and our heartfelt thanks goes to Mr. Jeremy Lieberman, General Manager at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co and his team of wonderful staff for taking care of us and feeding us all!

After lunch, it was time for the kids to continue with some very close encounters with the Stars as we moved to Madame Tussauds.

The new Madame Tussauds was definitely much bigger and better than the previous with five new themed areas, providing the opportunity for our campers and companions to meet their idols and heroes AND to be able to snuggle up close to them!! Whether it’s with canto pop king, Mr. Andy Lau and Leon Lai or with the British Royal Family and past American president, Bill Clinton, the kids were able to see them up very close and personal! The attraction featured over 100 locally and internationally celebrity wax figures and it was a truly magical day for all who attended!

Finally, Our thanks goes out also to May Tsang of The Peak Tower and of course to Martyn and the rest of his team at The Peak Tower for arranging this great day out for the children.
