Ocean Park Hong Kong has unveiled its new adventure zone, part of the theme park’s HK$6.8 billion ($876 million) redevelopment plan.
The new 120,000-square-metre zone is being developed by Hong Kong–Macau conglomerate Shun Tak Holdings and adventure tourism firm AJ Hackett International.
It is part of Ocean Park’s redevelopment strategy, which involves transforming the attraction into a resort destination with a focus on adventure, conservation and education.
“This marks a significant milestone for Ocean Park Corporation and Hong Kong’s tourism industry,” said Paulo Pong, chairman of Ocean Park Corporation.
“We are confident that the adventure zone will appeal to adventure enthusiasts and families alike, thereby broadening our visitor base and further enhancing the overall experience and market competitiveness of Ocean Park as a resort destination.”
Designed to integrate with the theme park‘s topography, the adventure zone is situated on a developed hillside at Ocean Park and features a natural downhill slope.
Set to open in 2028, the separately-ticketed area will include two giant zip lines spanning around 1,000 metres each. It will also offer a ropes park and an alpine coaster, as well as bungee jumping and giant swing facilities.
Additionally, there will be outdoor playgrounds, water play areas and climbing walls, and edutainment elements like puzzles and tactile objects will be located across the zone.

Danny Hughes, CEO of AJ Hackett International, said: “The natural landscape of Ocean Park will create a wonderful playground for our guests, and we are honoured to be custodians with a sustainable development that highlights conservation and education.
“The adventure zone is an exciting opportunity to expand the iconic experiences of Ocean Park, and to promote Hong Kong to our worldwide following with a world-class, sky-high adventure tourist attraction.”
Under its transformation plan, Ocean Park will also create new zones for retail, dining and entertainment, and wellness.
