Amongst the best family attractions in Hong Kong, Ocean Park offers plenty of exciting escapades and encounters that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
Getting There
This site is on Hong Kong Island’s southern side, around a 10-minute drive from designated quarantine hotels like Dorsett Wanchai. You can take a taxi or use the MTR South Island Line to the Ocean Park Station which offers direct access. Alternative options include public bus services and the Citybus (Route 629) from the Central Star Ferry Pier.
What to Expect
Be you staying at a city-based family or meeting hotel, Hong Kong adventures to Ocean Park are not to be missed. The park incorporates thrilling rides, wildlife encounters and shows and diverse dining in two areas, The Summit and The Waterfront; travelling between the two is by The Ocean Express that simulates a submarine journey or the Cable Car offering stunning vistas.
The Summit
Thrill-seekers will love The Summit since it’s home to some of the park’s most exhilarating rides such as Arctic Blast, Wild Twister and Hair Raiser. Dolphin Explorations featuring shows with dolphins and sea lions is popular, while Shark Mystique, Sea Jelly Spectacular and South Pole Spectacular with its many penguins are worth visiting too.
The Waterfront
More animal encounters await at The Waterfront including the adorable giant panda duo of Le Le and Ying Ying (at Giant Panda Adventure). You can also visit the Panda Village home to various birds and Asian small-clawed otters, the Grand Aquarium with its amazing dome and Whiskers Harbour offering rides for kids and shows with sea lions.
