Ocean Park
Ocean Park combines roller-coaster thrills and virtual reality to create Hong Kong’s first VR ride. Instead of the usual scenic coastal view from the Mine Train, riders will find themselves climbing through a rainforest and going underwater. Tap the headset and you can catch the critters along the way. The park also has set up a virtual reality game zone especially for this holiday period. Admission to the park is HK$438 for adults and HK$240 for children. From December 23 to January 1 entry to the Waterfront Plaza will be free in the evening.
SuperPark
The Finnish company has 11 SuperParks in Finland and opened its first in Hong Kong this month at One Silversea near Olympic Station in Kowloon. The 45,000 square foot indoor space holds a trampoline platform, a pedal car track, an augmented climbing wall, a tube slide and a zip wire.
