[2025 Chongqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Andover Ocean Park (Updated Jan)

📍Attraction Address: Jialong Road, Banan District 🚗Transportation: You can drive or take Line 3 to Xuetangwan Station, and it's not far from there. If you drive, parking is easy. There is a gravel parking lot without a concrete floor, and you can park for free. However, the parking lot is about a 10-minute walk from the entrance, so if you have elderly people or children with you, it's recommended to drop them off at the entrance first. Go early and leave early to avoid traffic jams. 🎟️Tickets: Free for seniors over 80 years old, CNY 150 for adults 💗Other Tips: If you haven't been here before, it's worth a visit, but once is enough. The price is not very cost-effective. After entering, you can take a photo of the show schedule. There are many parents with children, and it's hard to find a seat for the shows. However, if you arrive about 10 minutes early and wait in the audience area, you can still find a seat. The penguins at the entrance of the aquarium are indeed strange, as they keep walking back and forth without stopping. The performances are quite good (since I haven't seen them before). The mermaid performance seems to be by foreigners. The sea lion performance is also very good, with interactive sessions. The trainer will randomly throw a ring to you, and you throw it for the sea lion to catch. I must criticize the parents with low quality. The host repeatedly said not to give the ring to children, as they may not have enough strength and may throw it crookedly or hit others. However, most adults still gave the ring to children, who threw it everywhere and hit many people. The underwater tunnel is average and relatively short. There are many unique sea fish that you may not have seen before. Don't miss the boutique fish exhibition area. Although the fish tanks are small, it's worth seeing. It takes about two hours to visit everything and watch the performances.
