Exploring Hong Kong Ocean Park with young toddler!

This year, unlike the other birthdays, I got to celebrate my birthday with an oversea trip! We celebrated Daddy's birthday at Gold Coast in 2014 and Emma's 2nd birthday at Bintan in 2015. Hence, it's only fair to have my birthday celebrated at another part of the world in 2016.


So, off we went to Hong Kong!

During our 4d3n stay, we checked in a lovely hotel, hunted for good food and explored Ocean Park & Disneyland. It was so fun and I just had to push myself to put them in writing no matter how backdated and time consuming it is.


Ocean Park


First up, I will share about our Ocean Park visit and some quick tips at the end of the post. 

Ocean Park is more than just a marine mammal park and oceanarium, it is also an animal theme park and amusement park. Following its redevelopment in 2014, the park now has over 80 attractions and rides across 91.5 hectares (~ size of 90 basketball courts) . It's definitely the largest theme park I have ever been.
The park is separated by a large mountain into two areas - The Summit and The Waterfront. It is connected by a Cable Car system and the Ocean Express railway.


The Waterfront


1. Aqua City: Grand Aquarium, Koala Bears!!, Sea Life Carousel, Old Hong Kong and Waterfront Plaza
 2. Amazing Asian Animals: Giant Panda, Goldfish, Monkeys and more 
3. Whiskers Harbour: Attractions for young children
