Magical Macau

One morning you could be sharing breakfast with the larger than life cartoon stars, the next day confronted by giant transformers. Then again, this is Macau 2014-style, very much a hot destination for the young and young-at-heart, where a bungee jump from the 338-metre high Macau Tower can be followed by a drive in a go-kart or a trip to the Science Centre to check out your sporting skills.

No matter how old you are, it is easy to be spellbound by the variety of activities and attractions that are offered in this fascinating former Portuguese enclave.

And that applies from morning to well after dark. Among the new and established attractions and activities to consider during a holiday in Macau are:

Shrekfast – a family-friendly and spectacular way to begin the day at the Sands Cotai Central enjoying breakfast with the DreamWorks animation characters from Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. There’s also a daily All Star Parade and weekend poolside movie nights at the Sheraton and Holiday Inn.

Transformers 30th Anniversary Expo – on until October 5, 2014, at The Venetian on Macau’s Cotai Strip, and billed as the largest Transformers expo held in Asia with more than 1000 figures.

AJ Hackett Macau Tower – The 338-metre high tower is home to the world's highest bungee jump and such experiences as Skywalk X, Skyjump, High Exposure and the world's only urban tower climb. A night bungee jump is held every Friday and Saturday night.

Science Centre – With the Planetarium the centerpiece with its tilted semi-dome screen and 3D digital projectors, this four-year-old addition to Macau has plenty of hands-on attractions. There are galleries concentrating on technology, the environment with plenty of features for entertaining and educating the youngsters.
