This was our first visit and we are still blown away by how much fun we had. The park caters for everyone from thrillseekers to animal lovers and little kids.
The Ocean Aquarium is one of the largest in the world and I could have spent all day there just watching the majestic whale sharks. There is a cafe that has direct viewing windows into the aquarium, providing the most amazing photo opportunities having a coffee watching rays, sharks and schools of trevally swim past.
We loved watching the playful seals and Walruses and you can buy a cup of sardines to throw them a fishy.
There are plenty of entertaining rides like the splashdown boat ride at Mt Walrus, the Parrot Jungle Vertical coaster and the Polar bear express coaster. There are also kid friendly attractions for the little ones.
The bear enclosures could use an upgrade and perhaps more real decor instead of painted murals. There seem to be way a lot more fish in the Amazaon tanks than what should be considered reasonable allocated swimming space. Ditto the bear enclosure,
The park has a very successful captivity breeding program for Beluga Whales. But its a little sad making them perform 3 shows daily. Just watching these gorgeous animals should be the enjoyment enough.
When sun goes down, stick around for the spectacular light and fireworks display on the main lake. There's flyboards, drone displays, fireworks launched from Jetskis and lasers projected onto the giant Whale Shark statue.
I think this expense is where the bulk of your entrance fee goes with the cost of putting this show on every night. It is pretty loud with a sensory overload.
This place is definitely worth a visit, and it also features 2 hotels in the theme park sp getting home to bed is a lot easier than fighting the crowds. We look forward to coming back for another full day of fun.

This is an excellent theme park. The quality rivals many I have found in the US, including Disney. Excellent animal displays, roller coasters and other rides, entertaining animal shows were all well done. There is a children’s theme introduced at the 5D theater that pulls everything together. The final show at 7:30 should not be missed. Spectacular fireworks, lights, and aerial displays. Like I said I would expect to find similar quality only in the West, but they have achieved it here. The only, and I mean only, thing that wasn’t #1 was the food. They tried to do amusement park burgers, hot dogs, drinks, and candy, but it wasn’t the same. Good but not great. Still, I would highly recommend for a fun family day.

Last weekend, my family of three stayed at the Spaceship Hotel for two nights. Our package included tickets for the spaceship, Ocean Kingdom park, and the circus, as well as dinner and breakfast buffets. We were looking forward to a perfect experience. The first day was enjoyable, with good experiences at the circus and dinner buffet. The next day, when we arrived at Ocean Kingdom, we were pleased to find the facilities to be very complete and the wait time for each ride to be only 10 minutes, which was ideal for families with children. However, our excitement was short-lived. On Sunday, when we visited the newly opened spaceship indoors, we were disappointed to find it almost completely full, with approximately 98% of the guests being students. It seemed like different schools had come for a visit, with students ranging from primary to high school. As a result, every ride had a wait time of at least 75 minutes, which was extremely frustrating. This was a serious management mistake. It was unfair for families or individuals who came to the park to have the same wait time as large student groups. The park should have designated group channels instead of having all guests wait in the same line. Despite spending several hours at the park, we were unable to go on any rides without waiting in line behind a student group. This was a major disappointment, as we did not expect our experience to be like this. To make matters worse, there were no activities or attractions that were not overrun by students. We ended up spending our time playing carnival games and buying snacks instead of enjoying the facilities. It was a letdown, and we didn't get to experience the park to its fullest potential.

Met my match here - a terrifying roller coaster that has kept me on terra firma ever since. The kids couldn’t get enough of it though! Very impressive aquarium. Though we went during a holiday, we never felt that we were waiting too long for anything. Bring your own snacks!

The world's largest ocean theme park. Close to Hengqin Port and just a few minutes ride from Gongbei Port. The park has its own chain of hotels nearby, such as the major Chimelong Hotel, the Penguin Hotel, the newly opened Spaceship Hotel, etc. The park has lots of shows and fun activities. There are different kinds of animals.
Tip: Come before the park opens at 10 a.m., and be sure to plan your visit on weekdays to avoid the massive crowds.

This place is worth the visit as you can spend the whole day there and enjoy the exhibits , aquarium and the various shows. Also you can enjoy all the rides as well as the 5D theater. Compared to the Chimelong Safari park the Ocean Kingdom is taking second place but still worth a visit.

I visited this "Ocean Kingdom" last summer and it was awfully disappointing. By the end of the trip I had lost faith in the human race and it absolutely disgusts me to see how highly rated this establishment is rated on Trip Advisor.
As I mentioned before, I went during summer. It was a sweltering, unbelievably humid, 30 degree Celsius day. The polar bear "habitat" was nothing but rooms with what looked like plastic fake snow. The animals were understandably, and unsurprisingly, laid out and lifeless. Chimelong's widely boasted about "largest glass aquarium"? An absolute farce. The coral is made out of cement. There was actually a scuba diver scrubbing fish excrement off the fake, dull, grey corals. The fish in the tank were no better. It was pretty much your typical Chinese restaurant fish tank, only supersized with a few baby whale sharks thrown in.
If you're hoping to learn anything about the captive animals you've seen; bad luck. Apart from a signs with large, childish fonts with general knowledge like "Jellyfish are made up of 95% water!", there are no English descriptions. And the Chinese signage fairs no better.
The most aggravating part of the trip was the outdoor brown bear torture enclosure. Adapted to icy, cool climates, these bears were left out in the humid ZhuHai summer with no means of cooling themselves. Not even an ice block. The poor animals were even showing signs of decaying mental health and stereotypy. A man passing by laughed at one of the bear's repetitive head-shaking and told his young daughter in chinese "Ha ha, that bear keeps saying no!". It seemed to me only the uneducated could enjoy this "kingdom". Not to mention this place is advertised as an ocean themed park, the Brown Bears are absolutely unnecessary to this theme, and there wasn't even adequate facilities to house these creatures.
We spent the whole day at Chimelong, and only went on one of the rides due to the outrageous lines. We spent 30 min in line for a rocking boat ride.
Although Chimelong may be big, and have six Guinness world records, it all means nothing when the establishment itself lacks care, passion, and genuine interest towards to animals that they exhibit. And unfortunately, Chimelong lacks just that. They treat their animals like inanimate money magnets. It works, but it also shows.

This is for all theme park lovers out there. I would suggest to spend the whole day here. Most rides requires a min height of 1.2m. There are a few rides for kids below the height limit. Best time to visit is in November. September is scorching hot and you might not enjoy the heat.

Hey there,
Anyone know if there is a shuttle bus or public bus from Chimelong Ocean Kingdom to Zhuhai Railway Station or Gongbei area? And what time is the last bus?
Thank you in advance!
I am coming from Macau international airport . Do we need to go through customs if we go by car via Hengqin? I read that there is no need to clear customs if we enter via Hengqin and it is the quickest way to chimelong from Macau airport

I'm visiting the park next month, arriving to Zhuhai Jiuzhou port from Hong Kong. Is there a shuttle from the port to the park? And if so, what are the shuttle times? I'll be arriving to the port around 08:45. Thanks in advance!

Maybe too late to reply, but the information may be useful for others. There are various bus routes for this park, depending on where you are traveling from in Zhuhai. However, you will need to seek help from locals for catching a bus, since all are written in Chinese only (even the phone app: baidu map). The bus ticket price is RMB 1 or 2 Yuan (around USD 15 cents or 30 cents). However, you may consider taking a taxi if you want to avoid the crowded environment on the bus. The taxi fare in China is quite cheap compared with that in western countries.
How can I travel to chimelong aquarium (whale tank) from Shenzhen?

You may travel from Shenzhen to Zhuhai via ferry or train, which are the most convenient public transport approaches, and then take local transport to the Chimelong ocean kingdom.
