It’s a marine based theme park which seems to have something for everyone. There are two sites within the park linked by an amazing cable car ride with lovely views. The first site deals with animals and it’s your chance to see the pandas (if they’re awake!) The second site is home to rides and roller-coasters.

Two parrots at Ocean Park, Hong Kong
We very much enjoyed our visit to Ocean Park. The pandas weren’t awake, but were out in the open and it was amzing to see them. We also enjoyed the dolphin show (pictured above) and any concerns we may have had about the welfare of the animals before visiting, dissapeared when we saw how well they are cared for. The rollercoaster end of the park was great fun too.
Ocean Park is open daily from 10am to 7pm. Adult admission at the gate is 280HK$ (2011 prices), but we’d recommend buying online in advance here to get the best prices. Parking is available at the Main Entrance. The daily parking rate for private cars is HK$70 from Monday to Friday and HK$80 on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays (2011 prices). However, we caught one of the many public bus services that stop near the park (just after Aberdeen Tunnel). There’s also a dedicated Citybus service - number 629A which runs from the central ferry piers and Causeway Bay near Times Square direct to Ocean Park.
