🫡🫡 Tips for a great visit
1. Download the Chimelong app in advance📱 or get a map at the park to check real-time queue and show times.
2. Wear flat shoes👟, as the park is not too big and there are no sightseeing cars, so you'll be walking a lot🚶.
4. For theater shows, queue up 20 minutes in advance⏰ and try to get a seat in the front five rows in the middle.
5. Bring your own water bottle, you can refill it at the restaurants, as water is quite expensive in the park.
6. Definitely check out the Whale Shark Pavilion🐋 for photos, and wear light-colored clothes for better pictures.
7. Bring your own power bank⚡, as it's hard to borrow one when it's crowded.
8. It's not recommended to buy a lot of snacks🍢 in the park, as they are expensive and just average.
9. Don't wait half an hour in advance for the parade💃, as all parades end at the entrance of the Whale Shark Pavilion, just go there when the parade starts.
10. For visitors with children👨👩👧👦, consider buying a hotel package, choose the Penguin Hotel, which is right at the entrance of the park, so you can rest and re-enter the park easily.
11. Among the hotels at Chimelong Zhuhai, 🐧 Penguin Hotel is close to Ocean Kingdom, suitable for young children or those who don't want to walk much;
🐬 Hengqin Bay Hotel offers a better experience for adults; 🐴 Circus Hotel is cost-effective, 🚢 Spaceship Hotel is newer and closer to the Spaceship area; 🏨 Yinghai Hotel Apartment is further but really cheap.
12. It's recommended to bring a stroller for children under 6🦼! There are baby strollers for 100💰/day in the park, or you can book in advance elsewhere for a cheaper price, and they will be delivered to the hotel.
13. ❤ Prepare in advance a stroller, water bottle, sunscreen, snacks, power bank, raincoat, waterproof shoe covers, hat, tissues, sunglasses, mosquito repellent, etc.
14. 🥶 Some pavilions are quite cold, remember to bring a thin coat.
16. 🙅 It's not recommended to buy a fast pass when the visitor flow is less than 15,000 people.
17. 🙅 It's not advised to walk around the park with luggage, it's really tiring and inconvenient.
The whale shark aquarium you can see jellyfish, whale sharks, corals, and a lot of fishes.It’s the home of one of the world’s biggest oceanariums.
What a grand area! However, food and beverage is expensive. it’s honestly a great place for a field trip and an annual membership. The hotels still have some construction, but the shuttles go to each side of the area. Amazing place, and there are large food courts. No bars nearby if doing an adult trek. Loads of family fun though.
Business Hours:10:00-20:00Address:zhuhaiTips: book tickets early from apps to avoild long q.Reasons to Recommend: the largest ocean theme parks, the place is worth a visit and ticket not expensive. Especially the last part of fireworks.
Overall, it is very fun. We stayed at the Hengqin Bay Hotel. The swimming pool inside is more attractive to children than the Ocean Kingdom, because the Ocean Kingdom is really too many people. Friends who go to Zhuhai Chimelong, remember to fly to Shenzhen, don't fly to Zhuhai, Zhuhai's airport is too broken.
Reasons to Recommend: fantastic amusement park in zhuhai, it would not be enough to go for only one day, best to plan 2 days for ocean kingdom. Lets enjoy there!
Zhuhai Hengqin Chimelong Ocean Kingdom! After nine years and two brushes, the park is much better than before. Not only can you see a variety of rare marine life, but also wonderful performances and exciting amusement equipment. It is indeed a world-class theme park. I have been to so many theme parks, and I still think Chimelong is the best. Compared to Disney, it is more suitable for children to play.
An ocean park definitely worth visiting; it should be very front in China. The children had a great time and learned a lot of animal knowledge. The performances of each animal must be worth watching. The only regret is that many entertainment projects have not been played. The fireworks are great. I watched two games. Be sure to see the absolute value of the ticket price
