Safety Requirements
Observe all ride height, age and health restrictions posted at attractions.
Follow park staff instructions and queue signage; secure loose items on rides.

If participating in animal encounters, follow trainer guidance and refrain from feeding or touching animals unless explicitly permitted.

Arrive at opening time to enjoy major attractions with shorter waits; late afternoons can also be quieter.
Take the MTR South Island Line to Ocean Park Station (Exit A) for direct access; taxis and dedicated bus routes also serve the park.
Use the cable car for scenic photos and to save time climbing between zones (subject to operating status).
Bring sun protection, a refillable water bottle, comfortable shoes and a light rain layer for sudden showers.
Check the park’s daily schedule for show times and feeding sessions to plan your route efficiently.
Consider a FastTrack / skip-the-line pass during peak holiday periods, or buy a multi-visit annual pass if you plan to return.
