Welcome to Ocean Park Hong Kong! This theme park was the only amusement park in Hong Kong until 2005, when Hong Kong Disney came onto the scene. I do feel Ocean Park is an all rounder. You can expect a combination of high octane, thrills, spills rides and educational state of the art marine shows. The park is located on the southern side of Hong Kong Island and consist of 2 sections; The Waterfront and The Summit which are connected by the Cable Car and Ocean Express funicular train.

Through the Ocean Square, you will notice the 3-storey Grand Aquarium that features various aquatic animals over 5,000 fishes of 400 species but my favourite attraction would be the Amazing Asian Animals!

South Pole Spectacular

Before you catch the show at the Ocean Theatre, you might want to visit the Veterinary Centre that housed the bottleneck dolphins. These dolphin and trainer were preparing for the Ocean Wonders show at the Ocean Theatre.
The Ocean Theatre show is set to entertain the guests while underscores the urgent need to protect the oceans and marine animals! Entitled “Ocean Wonders”, the show features a brave adventurer discovers the majesty of sea creatures when dolphins and sea lions come to his rescue.
You will need a day to explore and the park can get very crowded during weekends or school holidays. My only unpleasant experience was with the mainland china tourists; shoving, pushing and yelling.
