There's a wide variety of delicious food options; the food is replenished quickly, so you don't have to wait in line; the seating is spaced out, so you don't feel too crowded.

Super convenient and ready to use instantly, this is probably the cheapest you'll find. Just show your QR code for quick entry.

Ocean Park is one of my favourite places growing up as a child. I got to take my daughter to this amazing and wonderful place.

The steamed lobster is springy and fresh with a great grilled flavor. The whelk and chicken soup is hearty and nourishing without any MSG. The scallop sashimi is crisp and sweet, and the amberjack sashimi is rich and fatty. The tempura shrimp is a pleasant surprise 👍🏻. Although the variety of food isn't huge, most of the quality is pretty good. I would visit again if I have the chance 👍🏻👍🏻.

The room was upgraded to a large terrace suite, which was definitely worth the price. The terrace faces Hong Kong Ocean Park, offering an open and truly beautiful view. However, the air conditioning in the room could use some improvement as it was a bit warm. The best part is its convenient location, just a 5-minute walk to the subway station and close to a large shopping mall with various restaurants.

To celebrate the twin pandas' first birthday, the park is hosting numerous panda-themed activities. There's a stamp collecting challenge, and the attractions are generally well-organized. The staff are also very friendly, making for an overall pleasant experience.

$299 per person is such a great deal, and all the food is high quality. The staff are all diligent and courteous. I would definitely come again if there's another buy-one-get-one-free offer.
