Day Three Itinerary
Ocean Park Day
Basically the day three of my Hong Kong trip is reserved for Ocean Park! If you are doing your research on deciding whether should you go Hong Kong Disney Land or Ocean Park Hong Kong, I hope you could get more insight about how Ocean Park Hong Kong look like in this post in order to ease your decision. However I couldn't compare both for you as I only visited Ocean Park. Why I never consider Disney Land, first because the entrance fees is almost double the price. Second, all the reviews aren't really satisfying. Nevertheless, since I didn't pay my visit to Hong Kong Disney Land, thus I shouldn't comment much on Disney Land.
For my Ocean Park Hong Kong experience, if you are going on weekdays, you need not to wake up at 8am and rush to the entrance earlier to avoid the crowd like what people usually do if they pay their visit to Disney World, Orlando or any other famous theme parks. The park only open at 10am until 8pm. I visited at 11am on 18th April 2018, Wednesday, the park seem have lesser people than usual.

Basically the Ocean Park is very large and consists of more than 40 attractions, shows and rides. The park generally is divided into two parts, namely The Waterfront and The Summit. The Summit is where most of the amusement rides located. If you are a crazy rider, must make sure you try out the 6D virtual roller coaster at The Summit! However, be an early bird for this fun, thrilling and exhilarating ride! I had queued for an hour just for this ride while other rides I even have to wait for more people to come and join us before the ride start.
I am a diver aka ocean enthusiast,what attracted me the most is the Grand Aquarium in the park. However i would say this is a very small scale aquarium but with a lot of conservation knowledge and awareness.

After the Grand Aquarium, there are many other theme's parks and various shows for you to enjoy. I am person in favour of cultural heritage. I like to experience the seventies or eighties culture of Hong Kong, thus I found this small little street has caught my attention in the park.

One thing you must not miss is their dolphin show in the Ocean Theatre at The Summit! It's really awesome. I am not going to upload the video as you should witness it on the spot!
Seem like the Ocean Park is really huge right! However you have nothing to worry to move from the Waterfront to the Summit or another way round as there are cable cars as well as the Ocean Express Railway System for you to transit between two areas.
How To Get To Ocean Park Hong Kong
There is a Ocean Park Citybus which bring you directly into the Ocean Park. It's Citybus route 629. You can on board at either Admiralty MTR Station or Central Pier 7. Departure time for Citybus Route 629 is daily every ten minutes from 9am to 4 pm (from Admiralty) and every 20-60 minutes from 945am to 345pm (from Central Pier 7). You can take MTR straight to Admiralty MTR Station and take Exit B to the bus station. Whereas to reach the Central, you can choose the star ferry.
Where to Purchase Ocean Park Entrance Ticket
The entrance ticket is available directly at the Admiralty MTR station or at the entrance of the Ocean Park. The Ocean Park is open from 10am to 8pm daily. Of course, to avoid the long queue during peak season or public holiday, you definitely can buy it online.
The price selling at their official website(Updated July 2018):
