On the southern coast of Hong Kong Island, where wooded hills drop steeply to the South China Sea, Ocean Park has been doing something unusual for an amusement park since it opened in 1977: offering a genuine marine science education alongside the rollercoasters and water rides. Not as an afterthought. Not as a label pasted over entertainment. But as the animating principle of a park that hosts Giant Pandas, a 5.5-metre underwater viewing dome, a coral reef tunnel, and one of Hong Kong’s most comprehensive marine life collections — while simultaneously providing enough thrill rides to keep teenagers in the queue for hours.
Ocean Park is divided into two main areas — Seaside Park at the foot of the mountain, and Peak Adventure Park at the summit — connected by cable car and Ocean Express funicular. The transition from sea-level animal encounters and family attractions to mountain-summit coasters is itself a central part of the experience.

The Two Parks — What’s Where
Seaside Park (Base Level — Ocean-Focused)
The entry-level section of the park, focused on marine life, animal encounters, family-friendly rides, and the Ocean Park x Sanrio collaboration zones running through 2026.
Ocean Wonders: The park’s marquee marine science attraction. A progressive descent through themed zones representing different ocean depths — from shallow tropical reefs to deep-sea environments. The centrepiece is a 5.5-metre diameter underwater viewing dome where visitors stand beneath a curved acrylic hemisphere as marine life — including sharks, rays, large fish, and sea turtles — moves around and above them. The scale of the dome creates an unusually immersive underwater experience.
Reef Tunnel: A walk-through acrylic tunnel at sea level within a large coral reef tank. Sharks and rays pass overhead and to the sides. Standard in format at major aquariums worldwide but executed at a scale that makes it effective.
Giant Panda Adventure: Ocean Park is Hong Kong’s only giant panda venue — housing two giant pandas (An An and Ke Ke) in a dedicated climate-controlled habitat designed to replicate their Sichuan mountain environment. The pandas are among the park’s most visited residents, and viewing is best in the morning when they are most active.
Aqua City: A family-friendly zone with gentler rides and interactive water features — the primary section for young children below approximately 8 years who are not yet tall enough for the major attractions.
Ocean Wonders: Azure Ocean Adventure (2026 Collaboration): The Ocean Park x Sanrio Characters collaboration running through 2026 transforms the Waterfront section of Seaside Park with six beloved Sanrio characters (Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and others) taking guests on a themed deep-sea exploration journey. As of March 28, 2026, Pompompurin (celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, having topped the global Sanrio Character Ranking in 2025) joins the adventure through August 23, 2026.
The collaboration includes 18 themed games, exclusive merchandise zones, character meet-and-greets, and Pompompurin’s 30th Anniversary Secret Garden at the Peak Galleria cable car plaza — centred on a 2.5-metre-tall Pompompurin inflatable.
Panda QR Code Adventure: An interactive mobile game where visitors scan up to 50 QR codes hidden across the Waterfront area to collect virtual panda cards and redeem prizes including Animal Encounter experiences and dining vouchers.
Peak Adventure Park (Summit Level — Thrill Rides)
Accessible by cable car (included in admission) or Ocean Express funicular (also included), the Peak Adventure Park sits at the summit of the Nam Long Shan headland with views across Aberdeen Harbour and the South China Sea.
Cable Car: The cable car ride between the base and the summit is itself a significant part of the Ocean Park experience. The gondolas ascend through wooded hillsides with increasingly expansive sea views — the visual quality of the ride is comparable to some of Hong Kong’s best aerial viewpoints.
Ocean Express: An alternative funicular-style indoor connection between the two zones, styled as an undersea journey with projected visuals outside the “windows” showing deep-sea environments. Faster than the cable car but without the views.
Thrill Mountain: The peak zone’s core coaster and thrill ride area. Key rides:
Hair Raiser — A launched coaster with a steep initial drop and multiple inversions. One of Hong Kong’s most consistently rated rollercoasters, combining the height advantage of the mountain summit with standard coaster engineering.
The Flash — A high-speed launched coaster.
Crazy Galleon — A classic swinging ship ride positioned at the summit with sea views from the top of the arc.
Arctic Blast / Freezing Point — Winter-themed drop tower experiences.
Polar Adventure: An enclosed attraction replicating Arctic and Antarctic environments. Polar bears and penguins are housed in temperature-controlled habitats that maintain appropriate conditions year-round despite Hong Kong’s subtropical climate.
High Altitude Viewing Experiences: The summit park area provides some of the most accessible panoramic views available in Hong Kong — the Aberdeen Harbour to the north, the South China Sea and Lamma Island to the south, and on clear days a view stretching toward the outer islands.
Seasonal Events at Ocean Park 2026
Ocean Park is well known for its seasonal event programmes that significantly transform the park’s atmosphere and add content beyond the standard year-round attractions:
Summer Splash (typically June–August): Water-focused summer programming with enhanced water attractions and extended evening hours.
Halloween Horror Nights (October): An adults-focused evening event that converts sections of the park into horror-themed haunted zones. Considered one of Hong Kong’s most significant Halloween events, typically requiring separate tickets from daytime admission.
Christmas Sensation (November–January): Festive decorations throughout the park, light installations, and seasonal entertainment. The park becomes one of Hong Kong’s most-visited Christmas attractions during this period.
How to Reach Ocean Park
By MTR (Recommended): Ocean Park Station on the South Island Line (MTR Line 7) has a direct exit to the park’s main entrance. The South Island Line connects to Admiralty station (interchange with Tsuen Wan, Island, and Kwun Tong lines) — making Ocean Park accessible from virtually anywhere on Hong Kong Island or Kowloon within 30 to 45 minutes by rail.
From Central or Admiralty: approximately 10 to 12 minutes to Ocean Park Station by South Island Line.
By Bus: Multiple public buses serve the Ocean Park terminus stop. Bus 629, 973, and others from various Hong Kong Island and Kowloon departure points.
By Taxi: Available from anywhere in Hong Kong — cross-harbour tunnels apply from Kowloon. Set destination “Ocean Park Hong Kong” — the address is Ocean Park Road, Aberdeen.
By Car: Parking available on-site. Weekday rate HK$25 per hour; weekend HK$40 per hour.
Practical Information
Visit duration: Most visitors spend 6 to 8 hours covering both Seaside and Peak Adventure Parks. First-time visitors with children should budget a full day.

Outside food: Check current policy at oceanpark.com.hk — the park’s food and beverage offering includes multiple restaurants and street food options at both park levels.
