If you have kids coming with you, you should try booking the place in advance and bring them along. It will change your opinion and how to see the disable people completely. Very good experience. Well done! More

This is a MUST DO! It really gives you an understanding of what it's like to be without sight. Be prepared to be in a pitch black room for over an hour. You are handed a cane and have to walk through different scenarios that a blind person would go through. For example, picking fruit using your other senses. Thanks... More

Went there on a company discount last year. It was truly inspirational. Have you ever imagined how your life would be if you're blind? Try it at Dialogue in the Dark without being blind. You would realise how lucky you are with a healthy vision. I myself did find that it made an impact on my attitude to life, especially... More

It would be unfair to give away the twist-in-the tale. It's best to maintain that 'Dialogue in The Dark' was incredible....you experience 'being blind' for a short period...and when you come out of the darkness, your perceptions of light...darkness...helplessness...sight...sound...senses...and blessings are altered forever.

Am truly amazed at the capabilities of visually impaired people to 'see' the world with their ears, smell and touch! Thank you, Dialogue in the Dark! And thank you, Daniel! You're a great guide and a truly inspirational guy! Keep up the good work!:) Regretted not taking a picture with you... More

Seeing this is the #1 attraction in Hong Kong, I decided to surprise my partner for his birthday. He never heard of it before, and I never tried. We both enjoyed so much. We panicked a bit in the beginning, and held each other's hands the whole time. But about half-way thru the tour, our sensations got adjusted, so we... More

Took my daughters (7 & 9). Completely lives up to the hype. Sensory deprivation is destabilising and thought provoking. Our youngest girl was initially freaked out but got in to it in the end. Well worth the trip to Mei Foo. More

It was a little tricky to find (our concierge hadn't heard of it) but was definitely time and money well spent. I went with my daughter 13 and son 11 and they loved it to. More

I was completely sold by the reviews here, and not disappointed. The experience was very confronting - I was petrified that I would drop my cane and get lost - and a lot of fun, all at the same time. Other reviewers have expained how it all works, but you just do not appreciate the helplessness of being totally without... More

Curious about the number 1 attraction in HK thus tried it out last May 1, 202. Truly this is a very different experience. Whenever we travel, it is the sights that draws us in, the majestic mountains, the blue blue sea, the swanky mall, the highest building to view a city in panoramic mode, etc, almost every attraction is Sight...
