Overall it is good here. But it is a bit different from Hang Lung. Generally speaking, there will be a lot fewer people on weekends or holidays, and there will be fewer performance programs. Some facilities will not open in case of rain or bad weather. Anyway, it depends on your choice.

If your kids have a fascination with animals, this park is a good place to immerse them in a world of wildlife and adventure. While parking can occasionally present a challenge, the walk to the main entrance is quite manageable and convenient.To enhance your experience, I highly recommend purchasing tickets online in advance, as this can save you valuable time and spare you the hassle of waiting in line. Additionally, the park is accommodating for families.
