Ocean Park Hong Kong, Animal theme park in Southern District, Hong Kong
Ocean Park Hong Kong is an animal theme park and resort in Southern District that spreads across forested hills and coastal sections. The grounds divide into two areas linked by cable car and underground train, featuring aquariums, thrill rides and animal enclosures.
The park opened in January 1977 following a proposal from a University of Hong Kong professor to create a marine center. Over the following decades, the site expanded its offerings to add roller coasters and themed zones.
The name refers to the park's position facing the South China Sea and reflects its focus on marine attractions throughout the grounds. Visitors today witness regular feeding sessions for marine mammals and participate in educational programs centered on threatened species.
Visitors reach the site via the MTR South Island Line or by buses from different city districts. Water attractions concentrate in the newer Water World section, while animal enclosures appear in both main zones.
Water World ranks as the first year-round water park in Asia, with heated pools for cooler months. The cable car offers views of the South China Sea and surrounding islands during the ride.
