ensured that only seafood

“The seafood dishes
featured on our summer
promotion menu, including lobster, sea cucumbers and scallops, are sourced from the
most pristine locations around the world in line with the Park’s ongoing commitment to marine conservation.

of the high levels of collagen contained in sea cucumbers and bird’s nest,
which have maintained their popularity for centuries”, added Chef Lewis Lau, Executive
Chef of Ocean Park.

Park is also collaborating with Crocs™, footwear sponsor of Summer Shark Fever,

featuring 3 Ocean Park mascot-themed shoe charms (HK$65 per set).

the community.
Close to 120 million people have visited Hong Kong’s premier
park since its inception, and Ocean Park has remained committed to offering
adults and children experiences that blend entertainment with education and
