Historical evolution

Ocean Park was opened on January 10, 1977. It was originally funded and managed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. In the first half of the year, more than 1.31 million people entered the ocean park. In January 1979, the killer whale "Haiwei" was introduced into the ocean park, which became one of the selling points of the ocean park. There were not many facilities at the beginning of the park. Since the 1980s, the ocean park has begun to expand, adding large-scale motorized games, and successively built water park, shark hall, bird house, mountaineering elevator and Jigu village and other facilities.

On July 1, 1987, the park broke away from the Jockey Club and became a non-profit making organization, which was responsible for its own profits and losses. Instead, it was operated by commercial means. In order to increase the number of visitors, new projects are constantly added. In 1999, the park received two giant pandas as gifts from the central government, and introduced more large-scale motorized games, such as jumping machines and flying cars.

On April 10, 2006, the 5000 square foot jellyfish museum was introduced into the park, which is the largest and independent jellyfish Museum in Asia. The museum is divided into eight exhibition areas to display more than 400 unique jellyfish from all over the world. It is characterized by displaying jellyfish dynamics with lighting effects and using computer special effects to teach the public to know and protect jellyfish.
