This is Discovery Kingdom, a massive amusement park. It's the most high-end amusement park I've ever been to. I rarely go there, as if I'm past the age of such things. Let me tell you about this: there was a long line, a long, long one, before I finally got to ride it. It was incredibly fast. Anyone wearing glasses, take them off! My second brother and I were shouting from behind, "It's not fast at all! Faster! Faster!" It felt so fast that it was impossible to even shout; it was just us.

By Fun Elephant Travel |

Here, you'll find the adventurous "Cobra," the warm and romantic "Spin Cup," and the interactive "Cool Fun World" for families; this is Dalian Discovery Kingdom. Ququ shares a comprehensive guide based on her own experience!

By Danny |

I personally think the attractions at Discovery Kingdom are very family-friendly. The four roller coasters and bungee jumping system provide ample thrills for adults, while children can also find their own little playground. The evening welcome theater and fireworks show are also worth seeing. While the park's scenery and performances still lag behind world-class theme parks like Universal Studios Disney, they are considered high-end in China and exceeded expectations. Don't miss it if you're visiting Dalian!

By Apple Lynn |

This small Disneyland has everything for children, older children and adults to play. There are so many performances that you can't see them all. The convoys that travel around the park are spectacular. I highly recommend it.

By Tianzhi Baijing |

If you're visiting Dalian, you absolutely must visit Discovery Kingdom. We recommend bringing your own car to the amusement park.

By Photographer [Fourth Brother] |

The price/performance ratio is good and acceptable. I recommend you to have a look.

By Nie |

Apart from queuing, the experience was very good and the experience projects were also fun.

By Alvin, |

The night show is super nice with fireworks display, carousel, Pirates of the Caribbean lights

The girlfriend is awesome.

I like Dalian Discovery Kingdom the most. I went there during the summer vacation of my freshman year in 2012. I had a lot of fun.

By Xiao Zhao is not sleepy |

It is very suitable to apply for a card to enter the park, recommended route, see the map

By ๑诗小白· |

Dalian is a clean and beautiful city. Discoveryland is also a well-known amusement park, having been around for a while. It's directly accessible by light rail, and the environment and services are excellent, including the hotels. It's a great value, perfect for a weekend getaway, and suitable for all ages.

By Wang Liangji |

This is a great theme park. It feels similar to Disneyland, but it has its own unique features. Some of the thrilling rides are very interesting. Sometimes there are parades and fireworks shows, and tickets can be booked in advance online. The food prices in the scenic area are also cheaper than those in Disneyland. You must visit it when you come to Dalian.

By Purple Night Wind |

Personally, I think the performance is average, but the price is half cheaper than Disney, so it's worth a try.

By Love blue bear |

It's not very big and you can walk around it in an hour. It's suitable for preschoolers and teenagers. It's a bit awkward for elementary school students. There's not much to play.

By Coke℡ |

Everyone remember that you are not allowed to bring food into the amusement park. If you have food, you will be asked to take it out and store it for free. You can pick it up at the storage area with your badge when you leave the park. However, it should be okay to bring a small amount of snacks, bread, etc. Be sure to remember to bring two bottles of drinks, as food and drinks in the park are very expensive. This is the key point.

Key lessons learned:

Be sure to bring a complete set of clothes, because you may get very wet after playing water activities. Wear sunglasses, parasols, hats and other sun protection products. It is still very sunny at noon. In addition, students with myopia are advised to wear contact lenses, because most activities cannot be experienced while wearing frame glasses because they are easy to fall off.

I found that the kingdom’s inspections were very strict, even the tourists’ bags were opened. Apart from water, no dry food such as bread was allowed to be brought in.

In the first show in the morning, we arrived at the first amusement facility shortly after entering the door. It seemed to be called "Flying Broom", but I'm not sure. It rotated and rose and fell freely in the sky like a wizard, experiencing the feeling of flying and "taking off" with the rhythm of the music!

He joined them for a few rides, reluctantly riding the roller coaster. The suspended "Heaven and Earth Love" coaster boasts the "No. 1 Roller Coaster in Asia"! Later, he arrived at the "Thunder Chariot," Asia's first vertical roller coaster—the 90-degree "Scream!" He started with the ones with the shortest lines, then moved on to the longer ones when the crowds were thinner. He tried everything from the bungee jumping machine to the other thrilling rides with 360-degree, 540-degree, and even 720-degree spins. By five o'clock that evening, within an hour, he'd rushed to ride everything he wanted.

By Hedonistlxj |

I originally just wanted to show my daughter the theme park's evening fireworks, but she was surprised by how truly spectacular it was at night, with its dazzling array of colorful lights. The carousel to my left was especially stunning, even to me, so I made it my first stop. The spinning carousel truly makes you forget your pain. The staff kept playing pop songs by Sodagreen and Karen Mok, encouraging everyone to sing along and relax. Hearing that, I suddenly felt a sense of relief, a sense of relief, a sense of letting go of burdens and forgetting about work and family. Next to my daughter's train was a crazy broom, and my mom and I took it on a whim. It's been a while since I've played that kind of thing. It's that feeling of tightening your legs and gripping the handrails even though you know you're not going to get thrown or hit the wall. My daughter waved at us at first, but then she stopped. When we got off, she said, "You guys were flying so fast I couldn't find you." She also said, "I kept looking for you, afraid you'd fall." Another advantage of going at night is that there are fewer people, so you can ride it almost instantly after waiting in line. It's also not hot, and there's a gentle breeze and the water is calm.

By Never left |

Having been to Disneyland before, I always felt that Discovery Kingdom pales in comparison. I went on a Monday, and the lines weren't very long, but it was still very slow, with inefficient staffing and equipment. The park itself is quite small, and after a tour, I felt like there wasn't much to see. Of course, there are some good things. The roller coaster at Discovery Kingdom is the best and most thrilling I've ever ridden. I highly recommend Thunder Chariot, a must-try!

By Ape carrying a camera |

A super fun amusement park with everything you need, various theme parks, and performances. It is well worth a visit!

By ☜Gong Chensu☞ |

Highly recommended! We both thought it was better than Beijing Happy Valley. The architecture is very stylish, and the theme seemed to be about knights slaying dragons. We rode two roller coasters. The Thunder Chariot was truly thrilling. The first section was like jumping off a bungee jump, then you got all swirling and tumbling. It was exhilarating. The second, called "Heaven and Earth Love," was also thrilling. I had a blast riding roller coasters here. My girlfriend closed her eyes the whole time; it felt like she was going to have a seizure. Hahaha. There happened to be an electronic music party that evening, but unfortunately, I didn't find it. It was awkward, but I just went along the way and saw something fun I wanted to try. My girlfriend absolutely loved the magnificent carousel. And then there was the Kingdom of Discovery's birthday, which was so coincidental that we watched the fireworks for a long time. So happy! It closed around 9 PM, but I remember a guide saying it closed at 10. What a bummer! So, if you're going to a night party, it's best to arrive at 4 PM sharp. You'll lose money if you're late.

By Taotao |

Golden Stone Beach is far from the city center, and many Discovery Kingdom day tours depart at around 8 a.m. The advantage is that round-trip transportation is included, but the return time is usually around 3 a.m. Considering that Discovery Kingdom has nightclubs during the peak season, we had no choice but to go on our own to have more freedom.

Discovery Kingdom was built by the Disney team, so it felt like a low-end version of Disney. Most of the attractions in the theme park are thrilling, and my wife was really disappointed because she felt dizzy.

I sighed and found that the kingdom is really small and it can be explored in about half a day.

It would be more suitable to come at night, as you can enter the park at 4 o'clock and play all the games. Some projects are open until after 9 o'clock.

By ぎ安生ず℡ |

Rented a cart. 50 yuan/day, 300 yuan deposit, only cash accepted, no WeChat (note this is important)

It's not really that big, but I was traveling slowly with my kids.

Many projects have height restrictions, and there are not many that can be played by people under 1.2 meters. You can circle them on the map first and play them in order according to your plan.

It was a weekday and not a peak season, so there was no need to queue for the children's activities. There were few people and if you like to play, you can play as much as you want. My son took the train five times.

There are float parades, musicals and fireworks displays at night.

As the lights come on, the night view is more beautiful than the day.

When the leader of the float parade came over on roller skates, all shiny, to shake hands with my son, the child was so happy. Maybe this is the advantage of having fewer people.

The play that day was Pirates of the Caribbean: The Fountain of Youth. I didn’t expect my son to be so engrossed in it and understand it all. It was amazing.

We played all the games that the experts in the game could play, and we played some of them more than once.

The next day we rented a three-person tram. My husband and I were too lazy to walk. It cost 120 yuan per hour, with a deposit of 500 yuan.

My favorite part of the entire Discovery Kingdom is the architectural style of the Legend Castle. There is also a small chapel inside for weddings.

There are also many projects such as rotating hot air balloons

By write |

Good, suitable for family travel, you can go and play. But some of the charges are not suitable.

By Cute🐼 |

Originally, I was going to take my baby on a one-day trip to Discovery Kingdom. I was so excited at the beginning, but in the end, my baby was the one playing with me. I had a great time.

It was already noon when we got there. I found that the kingdom was not very big and there were not many people playing. I walked back and forth several times and basically played all the big and small attractions that could be played.

I've read in guides that a counterclockwise tour is best: Crazy Town, Mysterious Desert, Metal Factory, Magic Forest, Legendary Castle, Fairy Garden, and Main Street, USA. You can pick up a map at Discovery Square upon entering to help you understand the schedule for subsequent attractions and performances.

One more thing! When we went through security, they took our bread... well... but they didn't take the fruit and ham. Maybe they were worried that the restaurant in the amusement park might be doing bad business?

By Light╮ |

It was awesome! We went there just as the National Day rush hour was approaching, so the lines weren't very long. We had a lot of fun on the roller coaster and other rides. The facilities were also very nice and well worth a visit.

By Southern Sun |

Designed by Disney designers, it has two large roller coasters. It's so cool and user-friendly. You can bring water and a small amount of food in. The night fireworks show is super beautiful.

Discovery Kingdom is huge! It has two roller coasters, a bungee jumping machine, a pirate ship, and other thrilling rides. There are also kid-friendly attractions like a water carousel and bumper cars. With over 30 rides and non-stop performances, it took us a whole day to fully enjoy them.

Note: You can bring water and a small amount of food to the Discovery Kingdom, but you must bring your own, as the food inside is too expensive.

Transportation: It is best to find a direct bus at the train station. It is cheap and can also take you to Discoveryland. Because Discoveryland is very far from the city, it is worth finding a direct bus. They will arrange the departure and return time with you. It is not expensive, about 200 for adults and 150 for students.

By Wheat Field |

Because there were so many people, we had to queue up for each project, so we didn't try all of them. We didn't ride any roller coasters because they were scary just looking at them. There were a lot of children there, so we preferred the water projects.

By Lady Zhou |

Discoveryland Theme Park—located on the Jinshitan coast—was invested in and built by the Haichang Group. The park was designed by RPVA, an American firm that previously worked on the Walt Disney Parks, and managed by Samsung Everland, one of the world's top ten theme parks. Covering 470,000 square meters, it's the largest in China and boasts the most facilities of any amusement park in the country! It's one-third larger than Hong Kong Disneyland!

Dalian Discoveryland Theme Park consists of six major zones: the Legendary Castle, the Enchanted Forest, the Metal Factory, the Mysterious Desert, Crazy Town, and Main Street U.S.A. The summer water parade features a water battle at the Undersea Sprites. The Mermaid Princess and the Pirates of the Caribbean teams depart from the Legendary Castle and the Mysterious Desert, respectively, singing and dancing their way through the water before finally meeting in the Enchanted Forest. After enjoying the lively dance performances of the Undersea Sprites, visitors can enjoy a refreshing dip with bikini-clad beauties, armed with water guns and donning raincoats, enjoying the coolness and excitement of Discoveryland in a sea of joyful water droplets.

By Rice Fields 2017 |

Dalian's largest theme park, especially suitable for children.

By Jiangnan Leather Factory closed down |

The park is quite large, and the student ticket is 150 yuan. I tried almost everything except the roller coaster. Because it was crowded during the National Day holiday, I recommend bringing your own disposable raincoat before entering the park. They're quite expensive, at 10 yuan each. Even with a raincoat, your clothes will get a little wet, so be prepared.

By clown |

During the National Day holiday, the park was quite crowded. Long lines existed for all the attractions. I had an afternoon train, so I left at 5:00 PM and only enjoyed two rides. I saw a 4D movie. The go-karts were pretty good, and I waited in line for an hour. (P.S.: My mom has been to Hong Kong Disneyland and she said the lines there were also long, but they were always short. I wonder if it was a management issue.) There was a lot of queue-jumping—one person in line and someone else cut in, which was really annoying. I only rode for five minutes. There was also a rapids ride with a steep slope, so those with weak hearts shouldn't do it. A raincoat is a must. The park's permanent attractions were all good and great for photos. The parades and scheduled performances were fantastic, featuring handsome foreigners, and were a real eye-catcher. Things to buy in the park were relatively expensive. Finally, I bought my ticket at the hotel, which allowed me to take the bus for 190 yuan per person. I regretted it so much. I would have bought my own ticket and gone on my own. The express train was much faster and more convenient. The bus didn't leave until it was full. Before departure, someone on the bus said that optional park attractions that cost 100 yuan could be purchased for 65 yuan at her place, and that raincoats were 20 yuan at the park, but the entrance fee was 30 yuan, and the raincoats we bought there cost 5 yuan. It was already past 10:00 when we arrived at the park, and they told us we'd be back in town at 3:00. If we didn't leave, we wouldn't be allowed to leave. They said four or five hours was plenty of time. Overall, the amusement park is worth the price of admission and worth a visit for both adults and children.

By Huiyun |

Discovery Kingdom Amusement Park is near the Golden Stone Beach Scenic Area, the same place we visited yesterday, so there are quite a lot of attractions in the Golden Stone Beach.

The amusement park is very big and you can play here for a whole day without worrying about running out of cars after playing too late. There are many buses outside the scenic area going back to Dalian city. We played until after 7 o'clock that day before leaving the park.

The gate of the amusement park, buy tickets from here to enter, students can also enjoy preferential prices here, so it is quite cost-effective to bring your child's ID card when going out

By Threatening to laugh |

This area is still a very good place to play, more suitable for young people above junior high school and high school. After all, it is a large amusement park. When we went there, indoor areas suitable for children to play had been built, and there were also projects to be built. The facilities inside felt like they had not changed for many years. It was time to renovate and add more.

By YingyingL |

There are all kinds of entertainment facilities and performances, but I am timid and didn't play much.

I went to Discovery Kingdom a long time ago. I arrived at Discovery Kingdom in the afternoon. At 5 or 6 o'clock, most of the rides were closed. The fireworks show at night was very beautiful and recommended to be seen.

By Minglang Hair Salon |

We rode the roller coaster, the Lingbo flying boat, the space shuttle, the go-kart, and the rapids. The roller coaster queued for two hours and was over in two minutes. The space shuttle was super exciting. The view of the Dalian sea from the highest point was super beautiful. It would have been great if I could have taken a picture of it.

By Feifei who loves to jump |

It's fun, but the location is quite remote. You can book a one-day chartered car to go there and back. I had a lot of fun, but it was really sunny and I got sunburned. My nose was peeling and it was painful.

By Camille! ✨ |

We didn’t get to ride the roller coaster. We spent 2 hours queuing for it, but it started raining when it was almost our turn...it was out of service 😂 Oh...I also saw the staff and tourists arguing and even trying to hit each other, which really dampened my mood.

The 4D movie is very good, and the other rides are all quite fun. It is very beautiful at night, and there are people dancing next to each facility, which is especially fun. When we were spinning 360 degrees, we saw a man dancing in an enchanting way, which was actually quite nice, hahaha

By Liu Lianwangfan |

The kids were too young to play, so we went to the night show. There were performances, floats, and fireworks. It was beautiful. We had a lot of fun as a family and will return to try the rides when the kids are older.

By Behind the prosperity |

It's fun. The design inside is very good. I like it very much. I will come again when my child grows up.

By Little Husband |

I skipped classes with four friends to go play on Children's Day, June 1st. I thought it would be super crowded, but it turned out to be okay. The lines for the rides were different and we had to ride some of the fun ones twice. You can also watch 4D movies inside. We had a lot of fun the whole day!

By Jusaka |

We bought the night show tickets in advance for 120 yuan. We bought them online and picked up a map next to the entrance.

We old people are not suitable for exciting games. We can only play on the pirate ship and the rapids.

You must wear a raincoat when whitewater rafting! Raincoat! Raincoat! Otherwise, you'll be caught in the rain with your clothes on.

By ShitLee |

Discovery Kingdom is one of the best theme parks I have ever been to!!

By Baby Bei |

There is no age limit for playing here. As long as you have a brave and young heart, you can fully experience the happiness and passing childhood here!

By Kaka |

Young friends coming to Dalian must not miss it!

By Dr. Aja |

You must go when the weather is good, otherwise you will be frozen to death.

By The prodigal girl |

Those who like to play exciting games can go there, but it is not as exciting as Beijing.

By Pure Joy |

If you like amusement parks, this is a good place to spend a whole day. However, it's not suitable for very young children, as most of the rides have height restrictions. As for transportation, you can take the light rail directly from the train station to Jinshitan (I think it costs 8 yuan). After getting off, there is a round-trip shuttle bus for 10 yuan, which takes about an hour. A few things to note:

1. Remember to take a map when you enter the door. It lists the time of various performances.

2. If you want to do water activities, there are disposable raincoats at the gate for 5 yuan each. You can buy them if you can. They are half the price of the scenic area, but you will really get wet.

3. Regarding queuing, it is recommended to do the Space Shuttle, Pirate Ship, Desert Storm and the like first, as there are many people at once and it is easier to queue, then take a break at noon, eat when it is hottest and go rafting, you can waste some time in the afternoon to ride the roller coaster, and finally come and go home wet.

4. There are light shows and fireworks in the evening, and basically there is just enough time to watch them and then go back to the bus (if you stay in a nearby hotel, you don’t have to worry about it)

Dalian Discoveryland Theme Park is located on the Golden Stone Beach Gold Coast within the Dalian Golden Stone Beach National Tourist Resort. Invested in and built by Haichang Group, the company that successfully operated the Dalian Tiger Beach Polar World, it was specially commissioned by the American company RPVA, which previously designed Disneyland, and managed by Samsung Everland in South Korea, one of the world's top ten theme parks. It's the largest theme park in China, covering 470,000 square meters, nearly one-third larger than Hong Kong Disneyland. I mustered up a lot of courage to ride the pendulum, but ended up screaming in terror. Looking at photos later, I realized how brave I really was. ... It was a shame to wait so long for the go-karts in the mysterious desert, but I didn't get to ride them. You'll never know how thrilling this roller coaster is until you try it. The best food in Dalian is giant squid, three skewers for 10 yuan—you can't even afford one in Hangzhou.

By Happy Ranger |

The name "Discovery Kingdom" is very appropriate, especially for first-time tourists. Standing in the huge square and looking around, the cartoon characters in bright and colorful clothes over there have just caught your eye, and the leaping and flipping roller coaster over here has also grabbed your attention; when the screams on the right attract you to watch, endless exclamations are heard on the left. Everything is so fresh and everything is worth your discovery.

Discoveryland Theme Park, located on the Golden Pebble Beach's 10-mile golden coastline within the Dalian Golden Pebble Beach National Tourist Resort, was designed by an American company previously involved in the design of Disneyland. It boasts a rich exotic atmosphere and over 20 high-quality large and medium-sized attractions, making it the second largest theme park in Northeast China. The park boasts a roller coaster, Energy Storm, Pendulum, Axe Swing, River Tumble, Space Shuttle, Rainforest Rafting, and Whitewater Ride. Daily parades and theater performances are also featured, along with amenities like restaurants, accommodations, shops, a post office, and a bank. Experience the "Crazy Cobra" roller coaster, enjoy exotic Arabian belly dancing and Indian performances during the day, and enjoy a dazzling fireworks display at night. Discoveryland Theme Park's attractions are arranged in a circular pattern across six themed lands: Crazy Town, Mysterious Desert, Metal Factory, Magic Forest, Legendary Castle, and Wedding Hall. Each land has its own signature attraction, allowing guests to choose from a variety of attractions.

By Sha Sir |

Seven themed areas reflecting the advancement of human civilizations, including Discovery Square, Legendary Castle, Magic Forest, Metal Factory, Mysterious Desert, Crazy Town, and Wedding Hall, are built around a central lake, forming the distinct theme of "Discovery"—discovering happiness, discovering the kingdom! This is a paradise not only for children, but also for adults and couples. The diverse array of attractions is truly worth a visit.

By \(^o^)/hour |

There are many facilities inside, including exciting roller coasters, bungee jumping machines, as well as electric games suitable for playing in the city, carousels, etc.

By L not seen |

A resort paradise and a kingdom of celebrations! This seaside theme park is a must-see when visiting Dalian!

By Flowers |

It's worth a visit. The attractions are quite exciting, but you need to queue up, and the queue can be two or three hours or even three or four hours. The floats are very good, and the actors are very emotional. The night park is also very beautiful, but it's not bright enough.

By Far and deep |

Discovery Kingdom is a castle for children and a place for adults to return to their childhood world.

Since the baby is less than 140cm, many activities cannot be played

But if the baby is having fun, the mother will be happy

My husband and I went to Dalian for our honeymoon. It was raining, so the sun wasn't shining, and the scenery wasn't great, but there were still quite a few people. The rides were initially closed due to the weather, but gradually opened one by one. I'm a bit timid, so I couldn't ride many. I loved the whitewater rafting, so I dragged my husband along twice. We got soaked, but it was a lot of fun. The float parade was beautiful, and I highly recommend it.

You don't have to buy tickets online; there are plenty of ticket vendors at the train station. The ticket plus the bus fare to Discovery Kingdom totaled 175 yuan, the same price as a single ticket online. Since online bookings are non-refundable, you had to pay an additional 20 yuan for the bus. Taking the light rail is not recommended; seats are not guaranteed, and it's a 2-kilometer walk from the bus stop. The light rail only goes to Golden Pebble Beach. Also, a word of caution: on windy days, most of the attractions at Discovery Kingdom are closed. We didn't realize this and spent so much time getting there. We were told at the gate that most of the attractions were closed due to the strong winds. Since the online tickets were non-refundable, we had no choice but to go inside. The bus fare and entrance fee for two people cost nearly 400 yuan, a waste of a whole day. We only went inside to see a few shows, take a few photos, and play a few small rides. It was a complete rip-off. So, if you're going, be sure to check the wind.

It's not bad. It's a fun place in Dalian.

Discovery Kingdom is considered an older attraction. While it's packed with visitors and the ticket price is reasonable, it's still a notch below other large theme park chains in China. First, the sheer number of optional attractions is a real headache. The main attractions are limited to a handful, and they're quite common. Even the free roadside parks near my home and the children's areas of major shopping malls have these attractions everywhere. Still, it has its highlights, like the performances. Perhaps, aside from the performances, this park isn't particularly memorable. I'd rather go to Fantawild next time I have some free time.

I have to give it a 5. We went in mid-August, and the weather wasn't too hot. We chose the night show, and as soon as we entered, we were deeply attracted by the architectural style. It completely met my ideal of a fantasy kingdom. You can pick up a map on the west side of the entrance. We walked east through the main entrance and started to explore. There were many rides, many of which were very exciting, but we didn't dare to try them all. At first, we just did the carousel and other rides, but later we thought we should try more. Then we went on the pirate ship, which was quite exciting and acceptable. We couldn't stop, and then we went on the crazy hammer and other rides. Because it was peak season, there were a lot of people and we had to wait in line, but the wait was not long and the order was very good. We were tired by 8 pm and didn't finish everything. We will go back when we have the chance. There are also many snacks in the park, and the ice cream is great, but the price is much higher than outside.

It's great, the scenery inside is very good, especially the night parade and sea show. But the ticket does not include every amusement project in the park, only a few

A great amusement park, especially for those who are not afraid of heights.

Dalian Discovery Kingdom Theme Park, located on the Golden Coast of the Dalian Golden Pebble Beach National Tourist Resort, is a theme park built around a lake. The park is divided into seven themed areas: "Crazy Town," "Mysterious Desert," "Metal Factory," "Magic Forest," "Legendary Castle," "Wedding Hall," and "Main Street USA." It boasts numerous large and medium-sized attractions, making it one of the largest theme parks in Northeast China.

It is different from Shanghai Disneyland because it is located on the seaside, and is similar to Disneyland because it is not very expensive. But it is very similar to Disneyland because it is indeed a paradise for children and adults.

Super exciting entertainment projects, great park experience!

It's very big and fun. It takes at least two days to play it all.

I've been here a few times. It's best not to catch up with the holidays. If there aren't many tourists, the experience is still very good.

I want to go to a nightclub but it's raining outside. I'm worried that the performance will be cancelled and the facilities will be affected. I don't know whether I should go or not. I'm so confused. Is there anyone who wants to go to a nightclub today?

I found the rides in the Kingdom to be quite interesting. Just queue up and play them according to your preferences. I only noticed after I got there that there were no float performances on Mondays, which was a bit disappointing, but I did get to play most of the games, which was quite enjoyable.

By Still today |

Personally, I feel that the kingdom is quite large, with many places to play, and it is quite suitable for fun, but there are too many people!

By As winter nights warm |

It is really suitable for couples, families, and friends to play together. There are many projects. It is recommended to play a few major projects first if you come on weekends. There will be fewer people in the small projects. The scenery is also very good. Group purchases are cheaper.

Dalian Discoveryland Theme Park is a hallmark of the tourist city of Dalian. Its cultural and natural charm and breathtaking scenery truly make Dalian the "Paris of the East." This is Northeast China's largest and oldest adventure travel theme park. Located in the Dalian Golden Pebble Beach tourist area, it enjoys a temperate maritime climate, close to the Bohai Sea, ensuring pleasant temperatures year-round.

The resort boasts comprehensive facilities and is regularly maintained and updated by staff. It is broadly divided into scenic areas, including Crazy Town, Mysterious Desert, Metal Factory, Magic Forest, Legendary Castle, Wedding Hall, and Main Street USA. The most popular adventure attractions for teenagers and young adults are concentrated in Crazy Town and Mysterious Desert. Representative rides include the large roller coasters Crazy Cobra and Spin, the super pendulum Desert Storm, the Amazon Adventure water rafting facility, the large pirate ship, the bungee jumping machine, and the Energy Storm, attracting numerous visitors from both within and outside the province.

In addition, some other park projects are suitable for family outings and parent-child tours. Discovery Kingdom has night performances. I remember that in the summer, a fireworks show will be held at 8 o'clock every night in the square at the entrance of Discovery Kingdom. Tourists who want to visit are requested to prepare to reserve a seat in advance.

Please note that Discoveryland's operating hours are from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Some attractions may adjust their opening hours and queuing arrangements based on visitor volume. The recommended time for the entire park is four to eight hours. In windy or rainy weather, some outdoor facilities may be closed, so please check the weather forecast for the next day before your visit. I've been to Discoveryland twice, once during the day and once at night, and I've experienced two completely different experiences. I hope Discoveryland leaves unforgettable memories for everyone who visits.

I've been there many times. It's considered a Dalian landmark. With all the large amusement parks being built across the province, Discovery Kingdom still ranks among the top. The roller coaster is thrilling, but if you have a weak cervical spine, it hurts when you get off. The environment is great, perfect for a trip with friends or a couple. Don't rush to go during summer vacation, as there will be so many children.
