(Hong Kong, April 2018) Ocean Park Hong Kong invites families to enjoy an
exciting holiday filled with edu-tainment and activities which will test their
knowledge of a wide array of land, air and sea animals at Ocean Park Animal Discovery Fest 2018 that launched on March 24 and
will run up to May 6, 2018.
Jam-packed with brain-stimulating quizzes and experiential
activities, the event looks to help family explorers decode myths like how to
tell apart shark eggs, why birds build nests and the different types of nest they
build, how sloths eat, how to rescue sea turtles, and more. For observant
visitors who notice the colourful wristbands around the flippers of the Park’s
penguins, not only can they crack the secret behind the colour coding, they can
also customise a wristband to take home!
Even more exciting, families can get up-close with the capybara, the world’s largest rodent and red-handed tamarins, a group of small monkeys from the Amazon Rainforest with contrasting reddish-orange hair on their feet and hands, for the first time in a limited-time “Get Closer to the Animals” programme. Besides helping prepare snacks for them, guests will be able to feed and observe them at a close distance, and get first-hand information from their keepers about their lifestyles, diets, day-to-day care, and other inside stories.
Leo Kung, Chairman of Ocean Park, said, “Animal Discovery Fest makes for the perfect family outing this summer. It uses Ocean Park’s interactive natural environment and offers many creative ways to inspire children to learn, respect and appreciate mother nature.
“Whiskers Express & the Miraculous Journey” featuring songs by Mark Lui
In addition to checking out limited-time animal programmes and workshops, families can go on an exciting adventure with the Park’s new characters – Whiskers & Friends. The Whiskers Theatre will transform into a train station for the “Whiskers Express & the Miraculous Journey”, in which Whiskers & Friends will take everyone on a thrilling adventure. With a captivating storyline, dances, juggling acts, interactive games, special stage effects and music, including songs written by famous composer Mark Lui, children can learn about how everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment for both humans and animals. Mark Lui is also working with Ocean Park on a new edu-taining 3D animation series on Whiskers & Friends’ exciting adventures.
