Ocean Park

My feelings as a parent with Ocean Park experience are mixed. Yes, Ocean Park is definitely a place you want to bring your children to so they can see animals – the Aquarium is a must for babies and toddlers - and understand the world they are living in. The conservation approach of the park even makes it an eco-academic trip for older children. However, except if you are lucky enough to go there on weekdays ‘mornings, you will have to deal with crowds and long line up – which is often very frustrating and exhausting for young kids. Also, what I am very uncomfortable with and that all white foreigner parents should be aware of is how often your children will be taken in picture. The inconsiderateness and even rudeness with which my children have their photo taken by numerous strangers there is shocking. My children are usually very friendly to other people – both kids and adults – and quite sociable. However people scared them for the first time in their life there and I regret it. Apart from that, Ocean Park is of course very well equipped and I particular appreciate being able to change my daughters’ diapers in a private and clean dedicated space every time I go there with them.
