Sunday is the last day for The Cat in the Hat at the Rita Tong Liu Drama Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Wan Chai. Fifty minutes, ages three and up. Tickets are on the HKAPA website; Saturday and Sunday are the last two days of the run (May 14-17), so check availability tonight. A meet-the-Cat session is possible after the performance -- bring patience and a snack if your child wants it, because the hallway queue is its own proposition. Wan Chai MTR, Exit A5, three minutes on foot.

For a longer horizon, the Hong Kong Museum of History in Tsim Sha Tsui is running Prosperity and Magnificence free through August 24: 165 Sui and Tang dynasty artefacts, 18 of them grade-one national treasures. The painted dancing figurines work better at six than at four; the white pottery horse lands with younger children. No booking required. Museum hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm; Tsim Sha Tsui MTR, Exit B2, ten minutes south along Chatham Road South.
