11 SKIES - operated by K11 Group – is set to open from the end of 2023 to early 2024 with the complex featuring more than 800 shops and over 120 dining options and set to redefine the concept of retailtainment in Hong Kong.
11 SKIES will be home to the largest indoor entertainment hub in Hong Kong and will host a number of “Hong-Kong First” entertainment attractions for all ages and segments, tailored to ignite sparks of wonder through learning, exploring, adventure and immersive experiences in a weather-proof environment.
Incorporating digital technologies with the power of imagination, 11 SKIES is introducing the first 4D motion flying theatre in Hong Kong, bringing a fresh and unique perspective of Hong Kong's iconic skyline within the 13-meter-high borderless spherical screen. The attraction will be customised with 4D motion technology and the Hong Kong-exclusive dynamic simulation seats with six degrees of freedom (6-DOF). Audiences will be seated in an ever-changing position – giving them a sense of flying freely over the Hong Kong skyline.
In collaboration with d'strict, an art tech pioneer hailing from South Korea specialising in evocative sensations through immersive digital art, K11 will be jointly introducing South Korea's largest immersive media art exhibition ARTE MUSEUM to 11 SKIES. The museum presents a collection of body-immersive artwork enabled by advanced digital media projection technology, showcasing nature-themed art experiences such as scenes of rainforests and tide movements along with bespoke Hong Kong-themed artwork.
KidZania Hong Kong will be the first in the Greater China and will give children, from toddlers to aged 14, the opportunity to experience around 50 occupational role-plays in a three-storey interactive city. They will explore their interests by partaking in play as childhood dream jobs, including firefighters, medical staff, and pilot trainees. Children can also showcase their creativity in such occupations as a lab research scientist, automotive designers, and jewellery designers.
The fourth attraction will be a Paddington Bear themed indoor family play experience, Paddington Play – based on Paddington, the quintessentially British bear from Peru, famous for his kindness and love of marmalade. The experience aims to inspire children’s curiosity and sense of discovery through immersive and innovative learning programmes.
