If you have plans to visit Hong Kong within these two months, you definitely will want to put Ocean Park on your list….

The annual Ocean Park Summer Splash is set to immerse the city from 1 July to 28 August in water fun with a galore of exhilarating water-themed attractions, scrumptious dishes and “Get Closer to the Animals” activities.

Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles and Mr. Krabs are paying a visit from Bikini Bottom to engage guests and fans from all over the world in the city’s first-ever SpongeBob Water Party.

This would be a great chance for fans of these cute cartoon characters to collect limited-edition souvenirs and enjoy Sponge Bob-themed healthy vegetable delicacies and cooling dishes. Ocean Park is also presenting various “Get Closer to the Animals” programmes, including the time-limited summer edition of Grand Aquarium Exploration, which takes guests on a memorable marine adventure. Oh wow… how I wish I could be there…

Unfortunately, nope, Hong Kong is definitely on my bucket list and so is the Ocean Park but I still need to save money to go there….as sadly I am a mother and a wife and have people to manage and be responsible for as well…I am sure my girls would be delighted to visit…

So for you who are lucky enough, be sure to go check it out… There is also a second wave of summer surprise that will starts on the 15th of July, with around 800 prizes being given out every week to guests through the Ocean Park Mobile App.

Drenching Water Party and Challenging AMaze-ing Lasers

This first-ever SpongeBob Water Party in Hong Kong will transport you into the wondrous world of Bikini Bottom, to enjoy a range of immersive water attractions with SpongeBob SquarePants and friends, as well as fun photo and video opportunities for sharing with friends and family.

Another highlight there you should not miss out on would be AMaze-ing Lasers, a brand new ride brought over from the United States for the first time. Players will get the chance to unleash their wits and agility in traversing the laser grids within a pitch dark chamber, as if they were playing an action hero. Each player will receive a score when they press the buttons at different corners of the chamber, making it possible for friends to compete in reaching higher scores.

Mega Gush offers the greatest cooling sensation when you stand below a huge water bucket and feel the incomparable cascading chilling pleasure. Jumbo Bubble Playground, another brand new attraction, allows you to create giant human-sized bubbles alongside SpongeBob-themed decorations, making it a colourful photo backdrop. The must-visit Rainbow Fountain will drench  you with its fancy waterspouts synchronised to colourful lights and rhythms.

Visitors of all ages alike will be mesmerised by the strong beats and dynamic lighting at the Wild Foam Zone.

Pelt your friends and loved ones water bombs at the Super Splash Battle, located near the Water Party zone. Kids would want to join the Kids DIY Workshop at Whiskers Harbour to take home their masterpieces such as SpongeBob keychains, Patrick Star catapults, fish and panda dolls made with rainbow-coloured clay.
