EIGHT
AMAZING ZONES IN TWO SECTIONS
Boasting a marvelous
location in the island’s southern district, it has eight entertainment zones
spread over the park’s two main sections: the Waterfront or Lowland and the
Summit or Headland - both of which are easily linked by the Ocean Express Tram
and the Cable Car.
The
Waterfront – Highlights
The Waterfront holds
three zones such as Aqua City, Whisker Harbors, and Amazing Asian Animals.
The ocean-themed Aqua City alone covers 200,000 square
meters and has some great attractions to its credit, mainly, the
coral-island-like Grand Aquarium comprising 5000 plus marine specialties; Sea
Life Carousel - the region’s largest of its kind, which allows for a distinct
ride in the replicas of sea animals like dolphin, shark, sea horse etc; and Old
Hong Kong - the retro zone that will journey you back to an era between 50s and
70s.
A host of other unique
experiences await you here, from the biggest aquarium dome in the world and
Symbio - a distinct aquatic show featuring the first of its kind 360 degree
screen to the Waterfront Plaza where you can spectacle stunning live acrobatic
performances and magic shows. Also, a must-experience is Adventures in
Australia that remarkably recreates an Australian outback. You’ll see here
kookaburras and koalas, among other fascinating creatures.
An absolute favorite of
kids, Whiskers Harbor has a
delightful array of rides and gaming attractions in the form of Balloon
Up-up-and-away, Merry-Go-Round, Toto the Loco, Frog Hopper, Clown a Round etc.
On the other hand, Amazing Asian Animals
entices people of all age groups with its astounding residents including the
