The collective memories of Hong Kong people have changed! Is Ocean Park worth visiting in 2025?

Summer at Ocean Park, Hong Kong
A comprehensive park that combines rides, marine animal exhibition halls, conservation education and performances. It pays great attention to conservation messages and is perfect for parent-child outings, allowing children to learn in play. Compared with more than ten years ago, transportation has become extremely convenient and supporting facilities are more complete.

🕰️ Summer vacation in July
☀️ Hot, sunny, mosquitoes
🚆 South Harbor Island Line MTR direct access, "Ocean Park Station" exit, very different from the past.

Ocean Park is divided into the lower mountain area (waterfront park) and the upper mountain area (peak park).
🩵Yamashita District (Waterfront Park)
- Asian Animal World: Seeing giant pandas 🐼🐼🐼🐼 is the key! But you also encounter a common situation: pandas may stay in the inner room to sleep due to too hot weather or breaks
- Hong Kong Old Street: Nostalgic Hong Kong-style decoration, suitable for photography
- Gentle games: sea life-themed carousels and more for young children
🩵Mountain Area (Summit Paradise)
- Cable Car: The scenery is excellent, but the queues are long during the peak summer season (such as summer vacation) and it is normal that we waited for about 40 minutes. (Those who don’t want to queue can consider choosing to purchase a fast pass.)
- Ocean Train: A submarine-like experience, fast and air-conditioned, a great option for going downhill or not wanting to wait in long queues.
- Must-See Show: Wonders of the Sea/Dolphin Show: Definitely an item not to be missed! Please be sure to check the performance time in advance and reserve time to go.
- Rides: There are both exciting roller coasters, family-friendly ferris wheels, aerial swings and more.
- Booth games: No technical but interesting booth games like "dropping rainbows" and "dropping sandbags", and easy to win dolls!
- Animal Pavilion (Best Summer Resort): Shark Pavilion, Arctic Pavilion (Penguin, Arctic Fox), Jellyfish Kaleidoscope, etc. The air-conditioned pavilion is not only a good place to learn about marine life, but also a "life-saving area" to escape the heat.
- Dining: There are restaurants, snack kiosks and McDonald’s on the hill, providing convenient options for visitors.

☀️ Pre-trip preparation advice, summer trip must do the following preparations
1. Sunscreen measures: Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen essential.
2. Mosquito repellent measures: Spray mosquito repellent or apply mosquito repellent.
3. Drinking water: Drinks in the park are sold at a higher price and it is highly recommended to bring your own water bottle. There are several drinking machines in the park that can be replenished at any time.
4. Clothing: Bring an extra replacement top to avoid sweaty back cold or discomfort. It is also wise to bring fresh powder for your child.
5. Best season: As you said, visiting in autumn or winter will feel more comfortable.

❌To be improved❌
At present, Ocean Park’s app is not as perfect as Disney in terms of experience. The integration of real-time maps, game wait times, show schedules, water dispensers and dining locations would bring great convenience to visitors.
The transparency of animal displays is low, and for animals like pandas that may not be in the display area often, the park can do better, such as more clearly informing visitors of the current animal status (such as resting) at the entrance to the queue.

Overall, Ocean Park Hong Kong is a great park for children. Not only is it fun, it is also extremely educational and often hosts conservation activities that interact with animals (such as meeting with dolphins). As long as you are adequately prepared for sun protection and mosquito protection, and take advantage of the indoor exhibition hall in the park to escape the heat, you can enjoy a pleasant time even in the summer.
