The answer is more subjective. It will be a different experience for families compared to couples. Overall we had a great time there. It took us more than 90mins drive to the place and did a lot of singing on the way. There were a lot of parking spaces available and cost a flat rate of 50rmb per day which we thought was good. The park didn’t have a lot of visitors so fewer queues at each attraction however a few attractions were also closed. The little ones were a bit tired so we rented the park electronic bikes and moved from one attraction to another in that. It is not a big park so we were able to visit almost all opened attractions. We did the cable car ride, visited various sites, and saw the orca (killer whale) show. The show was not that long but don’t miss it. Was it all worthwhile? For us yes.

One of the best ocean Park I have been to in China.I am sure you will never disappoint after your visit. You can closely see all the marine animals even the Killer whales 🐳🐋🐬. One full day is enough to complete the entire attraction. Only thing is be aware of all the performance timings ⏰. Each performance is jaw dropping and far more than my expectations. I totally feel worth the ticket charge. They have extra paid VIP seats but I feel view from every seat is pretty good and clear. #zoos#themeparks

My friend and I went and were pleasantly surprised. The enclosures for some of the animals were smaller than I would like. The shows were quite good and the lines not too long. We didn’t do any of the rides though so I can’t comment on them. The bathrooms were easy to find and clean. The map was bilingual but the schedule was Chinese only. If it had been bilingual it would have been much more convenient. Staff were very pleasant and it was a nice day #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

There was a scheduled live shows (whales, walrus, dolphin). Make sure to check the given map and find the QR code for the show schedule. Lots of rides for kids. And a cable car if you need to get on the other side of the park quickly. Also, I really enjoyed the roller coaster! It was long and super fast. You'd need raincoat for the whale show and water ride. They sell disposable raincoats inside the park for 15 rmb. Also, you can bring food inside the park. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

First time visiting the park with low expectation. Quite a surprise to find lot of activities suitable for kids but some of the amusement have to wait for at least 45-minutes, this is event when the park only about 20% fill what makes it worst is the air circulation in the waiting area make things not comfortable. The center piece attraction is the Dolphin show. Quite tricky with the pricing as there is an added fee of RMB 90 person if you want to jump the queue. Overall is good for kids. Great day out at the Park. I petted the dolphins for a RMB 350fee. What a treat. We enjoyed the orca and dolphin shows very much. Since we did not plan to do rides, we watched both shows twice. The penguin, seal pavilions were great too. The down side is that the shark aquarium seems a little small for some of the sharks. Similarly, some of the exhibits in the Arctic pavillon were also a tad small for those specific animals. Perhaps these habitats can be upgraded soon. The other animals looked happy and active, so we really enjoyed ourselves. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

There are Papua penguins, Adelie penguins, emperor penguins and so on. Hundreds of cute little cute. In the penguin restaurant, you can watch the penguins while eating. In the last second, they are still walking on the small short legs. The short legs seem to be unable to bear the bulging body. The next second, you can see the penguin swimming in the water. Form.

So much to see and enjoy.. The orca show is the most incredible one.

Last week, I took my child to Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park. Here is a simple guide for you. Feel free to leave a message if you have any questions. 📱Preparation for entering the park: Be sure to buy tickets one day in advance! Especially for afternoon tickets with promotional prices. The park is quite large, so if you have young children, remember to bring a stroller (which can be taken on the cable car). ⛳️Animal performances: There are many animal performances in Haichang Ocean Park, but sometimes the schedules may overlap. I think the best ones are the orca and dolphin shows, so you can plan to watch these two in the morning and afternoon. There are also mermaid shows, sea lion shows, etc., which you can arrange to watch in between. 1. Dolphin Show 🐬: Head to the Dolphin Theater to grab a seat as soon as you enter the park. Wow 😍, the dolphins jump and balance balls under the trainer's command, and the children clap their hands excitedly 👏. 2. Penguin Pavilion 🐧: The two-story Penguin Pavilion is very interesting. The adorable penguins waddle as they walk and swim happily, captivating the children. 3. Underwater Tunnel 🌊: As you stroll through, colorful fish 🐠, sharks 🦈, and sea turtles 🐢 swim overhead and around you, making you feel like you're in an underwater kingdom, much to the children's amazement. 4. Orca Show 🐋: The orca show is a must-see! The huge orcas leap out of the water, creating massive splashes 🌊, and interact with the trainers, following commands to perform various actions. They are both intelligent and majestic, creating a truly impressive spectacle that leaves the children cheering and screaming with excitement. 🎠Fun rides: 1. Ultraman Exhibition Hall: 👾 The hall is filled with Ultraman and monsters. Fans can take a look inside. No separate ticket is required. 2. Mini Roller Coaster 🎢: It's a bit thrilling. I accompanied my child on it, and she kept saying she wanted to ride it again afterward. 3. Round-trip Cable Car 🚡 A ticket costs CNY 25 for a round trip (both ways require queuing). A special reminder: unless the queue is extremely long during holidays, there's no need to buy the expensive VIP ticket (only for one way). I saw some tourists buying it, but in reality, the queue only takes about 10 minutes. 4. Marine Science Class 📚: Take your child to participate and learn a lot about marine knowledge. They will listen attentively. 🍔Food and rest: There are various dining options in the park. The Penguin Pavilion, Mermaid Pavilion, and Arctic Pavilion all have food available. When you're tired from playing, find a place to eat and rest. Attached is a map of the park. You can take a look and compare it with my aerial photos from the cable car to see the locations and plan your time accordingly.
